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.

It did, but IMO they rushed it and didnt think things through.

Woobie I want this game on 360, it's such a shame it's only for the Wii U.


I wish a lot of games were on the same consoles as others. Like Halo, I'm sure PS3 people would enjoy it on their consoles.


I hope that The Last Of Us came to Xbox sadly its only for Ps3


Yeah i wish that to, but its not gonna happen :(

Wii U isn't even a big hit so they should have released to Xbox or Ps3 instead


They really should have. The Wiiu sold poorly.


My point exactly, such a waste of what looks like a very good game.


i agree should get rid of hand held
