Lego City Undercover shows off another flaw of the Wii U

4.6
The Nintendo Wii U, in both Basic Set and Deluxe Set edition, has always been lacking on storage space. The Basic Set has just 8GB of internal flash memory storage out of the box, but that's before the 5GB mandatory firmware update is installed. In comparison, the deluxe Wii U only has 25GB of available memory after downloading the system firmware. Doing so leaves Wii U owners with just a measly 3GB of memory to save and download new games on. That's not even enough room to download the systems signature title, NintendoLand. This is likely why the majority of Wii Us sold are the Deluxe edition. Nintendo is even running into problems with its digital distribution business even on that model, though. New games like Lego City Undercover can't be downloaded to the console at all.

While Nintendo has yet to comment officially on the restriction, the reason why Lego City Undercover can't be downloaded is that game clocks in at an impressive 22GB on the game disc.

640 :L Wii just cant keep up with xbox and ps3 anymore, need something amazing !


That's the main problem, people just aren't interested in those types anymore.


By people you mean kids. Kids buy PS3 and Xbox for Call of Duty. If the Wii U was worth it I would have gotten it over my Xbox. Nintendo < Microsoft, Sony, etc.
