The only reason I want to buy a 8GB would be for the price.
I don't think the 8GB is worth it, as with the 32GB you get Nintendoland included which is a game everyone should have anyway, great party game. As well as a few other extras that are useful but not worth that much. And I know there are bundles where you get 32GB with Nintendoland + another game, that are even more worth it.I mean, would you get the same experience with a WiiU 8GB + a good quality SSD, as you would with a WiiU 32GB?
Then it sounds like the 32 GB model is perfect, you won't need any more for eShop exclusives and VC, and you won't have to deal with using a Y-cable or a big externally powered HDD that's permanently plugged into your Wii U.Hmm. I'm not gonna be downloading any eShop versions or Wii re-releases. Might be buying eShop exclusives and VCs though.
Yeah, I'd just grab a cheap powered USB HDD. You can find them cheaper than the Wii U's games.Hmm. I'm not gonna be downloading any eShop versions or Wii re-releases. Might be buying eShop exclusives and VCs though.
I would've gotten the White Wii U but Nintendo uses some cheap non-premium white cases so when comparing Wii U to PS4's and XO's whiteness it's clearly inferior. Shame.I have a 8GB Wii U. Got it because it's the only way to get a white console and I'm TIRED of dark devices. With that said I have two hard drives, one for vWii and one for Wii U. They both have external power lines and the two of them only take up two ports, this leaves one port open for my GameCube adapter and the other for accessories (Skylanders and Disney Infinity portals). I think the 8GB model is just fine, just add an external HDD.
Some of those updates and DLC can easily take that up. Especially if you have an interest in Indie games that tend to show up on Wii U as digital only. I'd still recommend grabbing a cheap HDD or something.I think I've decided to get a 32GB one, as all my games will be physical where possible. Thanks for all the responses. All I need now is to find it cheap, and in good condition (or actually spend a bit of money).
Well, you could dump the entire drive to an image, theoretically. I haven't really tried.I guess if I do need more, an external thing should be okay.
You can back them up right?
