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.

I guess regular gamers would have a major problem with this but honestly theres sooo much easy solutions to this like 32 gb usbs which i have to pluggerd into my deluxe version equaling 96 gbs total now if your one of those people that say "oh well i shouldnt have to do that blah blah blah" well the answer is simple DONT do it deal with only using discs that you have to buy. just my opinion.

Cygnet why would they only get 8gb of storage? Lulz but the game looks fun, not going to lie


I love the LEGO games, but ya, thats a stupid amount of memory


Honestly that is a pretty stupid amount of storage. Great game series though.

It can't be as bad as everyone thinks it is, I watched a video from RoosterTeeth and it looks pretty fun.


Yea, i think people are just judging it by others reviews. Its honestly not that bad.
