My apologies if this has already been posted, I'm on my iPhone and it's being a giant B word so the search isn't cooperating.


When buying a Wii U, gamers will be able to choose between the Basic bundle, which comes with 8GB of internal storage, and the Deluxe bundle, which comes with 32GB of space. By default, due to formatting, the Basic system will have 7.2GB of free memory and the Deluxe will have 29GB. From there, though, the Wii U's OS will take 4.2GB of space. That's about half of the Basic's storage, not counting any expansion through hard drives or SD cards.

Nintendo also specified that New Super Mario Bros. U is approximately a 2GB download. Nintendo Land ranks around 3.2GB. That means Basic system owners can't download both Mario and Nintendo Land to their internal storage without running out of space. Something to keep in mind.

By default, and barring an update that Nintendo says is coming in the future, Wii U will only allow one USB drive to be connected at a time. These drives cannot be disconnected while Wii U is powered on, and the system will support and read up to 2TB of storage.

Drives that will be used by Wii U must be formatted by the system's Data Management system, meaning you can't use the drive with a PC without partitioning. However all data can be moved internally and externally through Wii U's OS.

Drives that require more than USB 2.0 connections might not work properly with Wii U. Drives that have two USB connectors will work, however.

Who in thier right mind needs 2TB HDDs any way, my 360 had a 250GB HDD and after installing all my games DLC and save data I still had over 100GB left, I'm getting a 500GB HDD for my Wii U, that will be way more than enough, this is the one I'm getting: http://www.amazon.co..._cmu_pg__header I think it's cool cos It's black like the Wii U and it lights up Blue when it's active just like the Wii U home button, plus it's small, compact and cheap

Bare in mind you won't be able to use it with both the Wii U and other devices together. The Wii U will need to format the drive so it can communicate with it and this won't be compatible with PC's and other devices without formatting it again.

So you can't just format the partition you wanna use for Wii U stuff, and have the second partition for PC stuff?
