Did Nintendo And The Wii U Get It All Wrong?

"I have an 8GB Memory Card my PS Vita and I’m nearly out of space after downloading 3 game demos, 6 apps, 2 full PS Vita games, and 3 PSP games, and that’s it. And I don’t even really want to go into details about PS3 games are they are much bigger in file size, one game alone could take more then 8GB." So looking at the Wii U Specs, I keep asking myself that If current gen DL games are requiring so much hard drive space now, is it not going to be even more in demand for Next gen games? And if the answer to that question is yes, then have Nintendo and the Wii U got it all wrong?

Yeah, if there is only 8 gig models then the WiiU shouldn't be more than 200 bucks. I would rather buy another 160 gig ps3 for $250 than get ripped off this bad.

Cupid_Viper_35001d ago

Well I wouldn't exactly call it a rip off. But my concern is that, 32gb is already small, so what the is 8gb supposed to do when it comes downloading console sized games?

-Mika-5001d ago

You guys have to remember is that we can use SD cards and I think external hard drives for the WiiU. The question is can we run apps and games off the external HD/ SD cards or do we have to use the Internal hard drive to run those things.

darthv725000d ago

the 8gb will be for the play room and the 32gb will be for the main room.

I can outfit each with another 32gb SDHC card and be good to go. Hell, My 120gb 360 and PS3 still have more than half their space available and I dl allot of demos and arcade/psn games.

Demos I get rid of if/when i buy the real game and i dont put music or videos on my systems. I keep things like that on a portable drive so i can go back and forth from PC to console.

@darthv72

i assume the main room is for you then? :P

CalvinKlein5000d ago

Oh so you would rather pay around the same amount for terribly outdated hardware that requires installs just to get the games to run because it says sony on it? What a surprise!

omarzy5000d ago

the 8gb is probably Nintendo doing what Microsoft did with a 4gb xbox and Kinnect. Party games cannot take up that much memory.

tehpees35000d ago

Thats what I think. The basic set is for the more casual player and the premium set is for the dedicated gamer.

yeah! how dare they have a fair price point, great line of games and held up on their promise from E3 where they would have more games for core gamers and still focus on family gaming.....the never of Nintendo /s....

sandman2245000d ago

Since when has Nintendo failed? They are smart when it comes to gaming. I'm sure there wont be a problem.

jonboi245000d ago

Virtual boy was a huge failure. One of the biggest failures gaming history.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi76d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer77d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot77d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno77d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay77d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno75d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK76d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
