For those who have an external hdd, can you recommend me one? Will be downloading LCU but seeing as its 22GB, there's no way it's gonna fit on the internal storage . Already downloaded a crapton of games.

When I google, it only gives me forum topics on external hds to use with the Wii, for not so legal purposes :[

Bought this 500gb usb 2.0 at Bestbuy.com
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Seagate...609412&st=500gb external hard drive&cp=1&lp=4

I've had to for 2 months now and no problems. I like it because it has an power adapter.

 

[pdk27]

Argggggghh, I set my Wii U to power down after it finished downloading when I left for work this morning. Came home and the Wii U was off but it had only downloaded 38%.

 

[GulAtiCa]

^^ Mine did the same thing this morning when I woke up. I'm hoping it's fully downloaded now. Only hour left till I get off work!

 

[Data West]

Just out of curiosity..

I'm slipping...

Did you disable the auto-off feature first?

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Well I picked up Far Cry 3 ($30) and Adventure Time ($10) today at Best Buy, so I'm not too bummed about Lego City Undercover being delayed at retail. Nintendo better be glad though that retail-rental stores are so infrequent now, because I would seriously consider renting this and canceling my pre-order if I had the opportunity.

 

[pdk27]

Checked it when I got home and Auto-Power off was disabled. Have no idea why it turned off.

 

[Data West]

Between this and Fire Emblem, let me just say that i'm glad i'm not buying another Nintendo published game for quite a while. Seriously, what the fuck.

Yeah, that's not overreacting at all ..

You know you want it...

 

[Data West]

Yeah, that's not overreacting at all ..

Even though my local store couldn't even sell non-reserved Fire Emblems until a month after the game came out?

You know you want it...

Hahaha... As if NoA will put that out here.,

[burgerdog]

I see.



I got this and a Y-cable.

Why wouldn't you get the 1TB drive? It's only $10 more.

 

[oatmeal]

Can't wait to get over this hump of downloading to hear some real impressions!

It was revealed on the American Nintendo Direct.

 

[Dorito Pope]

It was revealed on the American Nintendo Direct.

Xenoblade was revealed at E3.

 

[Mrbob]

I see.

-----------

I'm using this combo as well. Wii U recognized the USB Hdd and formatted it in about 10 seconds.

[deviljho]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGXjKmAenjc

The monolith trailer was revealed in the direct a few months ago. That's where this gif comes from. He's not talking about Xenoblade, and neither were you. See... if we all had Lego City right now, we wouldn't be having this stupid discussion

 

[zroid]

Xenoblade was revealed at E3.

Xenoblade was also released in the US

Spoiler

They wouldn't make that mistake twice, especially with the same series.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Just out of curiosity..

If I am not top dog in the NFS thread because of this I'll be pissed :|

He's saying X will show up here because it was in the American Nintendo Direct. We are saying that doesn't mean anything because Xenoblade was in e3 2009. And all it took as a huge fan campaign and a massive install base.

Pardon me if I don't trust NoA.

 

[NateDrake]

I'd read that the (in-game) gamepad can function as a camera for uploading pics to Miiverse - any sign of that yet?

This features comes later in the game.

I think you both have valid points. But NOA doesn't have any more excuses. They can localize it with NOE and sell it digital only if need be.

 

[zroid]

Anyway, assuming NOE releases X (which I have no reason to doubt), NOA will at the very least put it on the eShop. I'm confident there'll be a retail release as well, but an eShop release of a pre-localized game is practically 100% certain.

edit: beaten :>

Game gets better and better !

 

[Jaded Alyx]

90%, 1 hour and 59 minutes to go...

Home now, 90%, 1 hour 49 mins to go...

Why wouldn't you get the 1TB drive? It's only $10 more.

The 500GB was $49.99 when I bought it.

 

[jet1911]

Best Buy just called me, my copy is ready. I went to morning and they said that the game is now supposed to come out wenesday. Will their system allow them to sell the game?

Should be able to. Gamestop sent out an email saying to sell it whenever you get it, and they're usually the strictest when it comes to SDs.

 

[JPBrowncoat]

I feel like when the afternoon hit Nintendo slowed down the downloads for all of us. These speeds suck.

Nintendo download speeds promote strife and spread unrest.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

My download finished sometime before 6am(PST) and I started at 9:15pm. I can't believe some of you are still downloading. I don't even have that good of a connection compared to some others.

SHUT UP JERK

I wonder if I'll get my retail copy before peoples downloads finish

 

[Smiles and Cries]

We are DL bros.

91%, 1 hour and 43 minutes.

EDI: Hmm, "DL bros" sounds a bit off.

DDP Bros?

eh uh well 92% 1h32

 

[massoluk]

japanese monhun video on nico nico prove the difference

MH3U Wii U load time comparison

Top left: disc
Top right: digital download to internal storage
Bottom left: external hard drive
Bottom right: external SSD

Ranked fastest to slowest: SSD, internal storage, hard drive, disc

Interesting, I hope someone do the same test for this game.

 

[darkressurection]

Funnily enough, I am also at 92% with an hour and a half or so to go. Evidently this was all part of Nintendo's master plan.

Got any impressions on the loading times?

Oooo I found an easter egg

Shouldn't have made NOA feel dumb with your smart ass "division" comments

 

[Frodo]

Good to hear people are liking the game.

Waiting to see the loading times comparisons between the eShop and the disc versions before deciding which one to get.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

This is why I'm buying all of my Wii U games at retail. Unfortunately none of the stores near me have received their shipment yet.

 

[Roo]

Wow is this game really 22GB? D:
Why does it need so much space? it's not really an open world game per se
and it's not a graphical showcase...uhm

 

[Bdub]

Just picked this up at retail, and got the Lego figure. Thought I'd have to wait until Wednesday.

I'm in Atlantic Canada, BTW.
