I've had my Wii u since the release date but this is kind of a "beginners question". Which is the total amount of blocks on the Wii u? I count them to 90, does that mean it's not possible to get more downloadable games once the 90 blocks are full? Although I've heard that the storage of wii u is meassured in GB and not blocks. I have an external harddrive of 1000 GB so the potential lack of blocks is my problem. Thanks in advance for an answer!

With 'blocks' I'm assuming you mean the ones in the main menu. Don't worry about them, if/when you've filled them all, new pages with new blocks will appear.

Oh, this is quite a beginners question. Let me try my best to answer your question.

The blocks that you are counting are the slots on the Wii U menu screen. You are correct that there are 90, but more slots are added as you fill them up.

Data capacity and storage are measured as GB, or gigabytes. This is the hard limit of capacity that you have. Once you fill it up, that's it. You will have buy more capacity in the form of a USB external hard drive. You already stated you have a hard drive with 1000 GB capacity, so you'll be fine.

When you download a game, it'll tell you how much data it will take and how much you have left. As long as you have more data than what is required, you'll be fine.

I wouldn't be concerned about it.
