If you're serious about taking advantage of digital retail on the Wii U, you're certainly going to opt for an external HDD, not a mere SD card. You can find 1TB HDDs nowadays for around £60.
As for eShop purchases alone, 32GB should keep you sustained for quite a while until you need to upgrade.
I'll wait untill I get word from a source I can read.
shall i copy and paste?
No no, I mean, it's in Japanese, a language I sorta can't read.
lol ok i just reread the second link and realize its a translation makes sense first link isnt though but im sure theres a reasonable explanation as to why we can use are SD cards hopfully thats not the case with digital only games but i just remebered we were not really playing them from the card it just simply moved them to the system
so i imagine for big games that would be problematic

Oh yeah, I see that now...
Oh well, if this does turn out to be true it won't really affect me since I don't plan on buying any retail games through the eShop.

same here it'll just be digital only games wiiware , vc and wiiu ware or something lol mostly anyways i doubt id need a harddrive for those kind of games
with the options being there just proves nintendo are doing something right.
atleast one good thing, we can set our own levels of memory with the WiiU rather than having it limited kike the dying breed of current consoles.
So what is the SD card slot for besides transfering?
Save files and extra content? That's my guess. DLC, user made content, etc... SD isn't the best method to play games anyways. I agree with other users, just get an external hard drive, you get more space for your money anyways. If you aren't downloading full retail titles, you shouldn't fill the internal space too quickly. If you are downloading them, an SD card is a bit unrealistic.

Anyone who will download retail games will undoubtedly be buying an external hard drive. So for everyone that isn't, the SD card slots allows them to bump their systems memory a bit for DLC, saves, VC games, etc.
I can't see why you'd want to use a SD-card for playing your games directly from. With maximum speeds (class 10) of around 10MB/s it is too slow compared to an external HDD. Moreover... a class 10 SDHC is not viable in terms of price/storage/speed compared to a external HDD.
