Probably gonna get one of those USB SD Card reader things, since it's the only memory related thing I've heard recommended that isn't unnecessary and expensive. "DUR GET 500 GB AS A MINIMUM FOR STORAGE" **** off to anyone who says that.

Why not just a USB stick? In fact I'm pretty sure Amazon is having a Black Friday sale on them now. You can get a high quality 128GB stick for under $30.

Yeah I've got an Xbox One, PS4 and Wii U and have recently had storage issues with all of them. I've already installed a 2TB external hard drive for my Xbox and have a 2TB internal (screw Sony hardware geniuses my but) one coming for my PS4. It's just my luck then that after lasting over 3 years my premium Wii U needs more than 10GB of space to run my most anticipated game properly. I'm gonna have to find a cheap USB somewhere, as I'm mainly physical for Wii U I don't need a huge amount of space but needs must for Xenoblade.

Because I've heard of enough issues from people choosing USBs other than the ones Nintendo recommended, with USB SD card readers being the only cheap recommendation I've found that's confirmed to work.

That includes the one I bought that failed to work and is now permanently locked in read-only mode.

...Wait, USB SD card readers actually work? Because not only do I have one, but it's a multi-card reader as well. o.o

For what it's worth Jim Sterling was immensely positive of the game in the mini-preview he did in his Podquisition. First review(ish) news I've heard on the game though he insisted it was a preview to avoid the embargo. I think it's safe to say now that the game is quality and 90-95% of reviews should confirm this over the next week, though there will be that one guy who hates MMOs or JRPGs and gives it a 6 lol. Get excited guys and gals it's nearly here, a quality game on the Wii U. I don't think the haters will be able to take it.

I'd bet that either Kotaku or IGN will give the game a 6/10.

Just because a game reviews well doesn't mean the haters won't get their way. Perfect example is Bayonetta 2 as it was absolutely loved by both fans and reviewers, nearly even got GotY award at the Game Awards last year. But the reality was that sales were bad and became another cause for doom and gloom along with big issues for Smash Wii U in the form of a pathetic amiibo stock situation worldwide as well as GC adapter issues. I'm sure that XCX will have fantastic reviews but also at the same time that sales are worse than amiibo Festival.

@Grumblevolcano: I doubt it'll have worse sales than amiibo Festival. That game has flopped in both Japan and the UK already. No advertising mixed with extremely negative word of mouth. Even Miiverse is really negative about it. Those amiibo aren't enough. Pretty sure it will do worse than W101 overall, and deservedly so in my opinion.

Meanwhile, Xenoblade X has had a fair amount of advertising (it could be better though) and is a long anticipated game. While I doubt it will do fantastically, I do expect it to do decently.

W101 was a bomb of biblical proportions, so I find it unlikely that Amiibo Festival would do worse than that. It's probably already outsold it, tbh.

@Grumblevolcano: well if they're that pathetic that they gain enjoyment and gratification out of a group of talented people's hard work not getting the success at retail that it deserves then that's their problem that they live such pathetic existences. Which I find to be pathetic if I didn't emphasise it enough there

@IceClimbers: Japan and Europe are the regions where there's no amiibo bundle exclusives for the AC range (or infact any range now that the Inkling squid amiibo has appeared separately in shops like GAME starting today). NoA made K.K. Slider a 3 pack exclusive and Isabelle exclusive to the amiibo Festival game bundle so I think it'll get good sales for the Isabelle reason alone.

The question will be are 10% of the 10 million Wii U owners interested in this game. Being that it's a lot of die-hard Nintendo fans it has a chance but I doubt it will get to a Million.

If you have the japanese game can you tell if there are more environments we haven't seen from the trailers?

@Grumblevolcano: The amiibo craze has died down enough for that not to be enough to make the game sell super well. It'll do better in the US no doubt, but not by a lot. Certainly not enough to make it outsell Xenoblade X.

I have a 16 GB SD card then, so I guess I don't need a hard drive.
Might test this out later.
