Better Have an External Hard Drive Ready for Lego City Undercover |
Listed in: News Tags: lego city undercover, Nintendo, TT Games, wii u
Thinking about forking down your hard-earned cash on the digital version of Lego City Undercover when it releases next week? You better have an external hard drive ready.
A pre-order page on the official site for Lego City Undercover notes the following: “An external USB hard drive may be required to download this software from the Nintendo eShop.” After this there’s a link that gives you information on the Wii U’s internal storage, as well as a link to see the different hard drives that are compatible with the Wii U.
There’s no clarification if this external hard drive requirement applies if you have the Wii U Deluxe model, which is advertised as having 32GB of storage. The basic Wii U model only has 8GB of internal storage. Of course, both models have even less storage in reality, since some of it is already taken up by system software. Nintendo has not commented on how much actual space will be required to download the game.
Lego City Undercover is a Wii U exclusive that is set to launch on Monday, March 18th.

If you want the space to play these kinds of games then you need to buy the right model.

If you want more space, buy a USB HDD. It's not a hard concept. I paid about 50 dollars for a 320GB IDE HDD for my PS2.
The compatibility page seems to suggest Desktop models, which implies the Wii U lacks the power to power a HDD over USB or that it discourages the use of 5700RPM drives. Most likely the former.
