When I bought my Wii U, I also purchased a 2TB external hdd. Up to that point I never intended to support digital purchases, me being old school and liking the ability to drop a disc in at any time. This time, however, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and make my Wii U as digital-only as possible, mainly because I don't trade games in anyway and Nintendo titles typically don't go on sale to the degree that others do. Now, I just add $10-20 per paycheck to my eshop account, and when something comes out, I buy it. If my hdd fails i can re-download all my titles after speaking with Nintendo's customer service.
@MrL1193 You did better than me. I waited with my girls (who would've tried it for the first time) the entire hour with no play time. As a stress test, I'm hoping this taught them a lesson, and I hope tomorrow will run smoother.
