I hope they continue with features like this. Make this console use the best strengths from their home and handheld systems.

I'm going to go straight ahead and say... hell no it ain't happening.

Transfer speeds would be far too low for the vast majority of games, way too big file sizes.

Yeah that's certainly fast, in fact it'd probably make the transfer limited by the write-speed of the flash storage. But I probably jumped the gun a bit with my conclusion, as I'm unsure exactly how much data would need to be transfered to get the game running with the minimum content currently required. But with some games pushing 20gb+ on WiiU I have to question how feasible it is compared to the DS/3DS.



Yes! Hopefully!

Not confirmed yet. But cool if it gets implemented.

how many Wii U games were over 20gb? Im pretty sure it was a very small amount.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I hope so, but I do wonder how many games will actually use this feature
