So maybe you got stuck with a white edition of the Nintendo Wii U and are disappointed in your inability to download games to your local device. Or maybe you’ve got the black edition but either play a ton of games or want to extend Nintendo’s latest console with access to music, movies and games that you own. Or maybe a combination of both! We’ve got you covered.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The holiday season is the PERFECT time to take advantage of amazing deals on storage of all types, but the deals often change, so you’ll want to make two decisions:<\/p>\n

\n
• How much storage do you want?<\/li>\n
• How much are you willing to pay?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  The Wii U is compatible with external hard drives up to 2TB. While they’ve hinted that they may make updates so consumers can use even larger storage solutions, 2 terabytes of data is quite a bit so it should please 99.9% of you. Obviously the more capacity the hard drive has, the more storage it will consume, and if you want something compact you’ll pay for that convenience as well.<\/p>\n

  Let’s start with the beefiest of solutions and work our way down. I tend to prefer a couple of specific online retailers (Amazon, NewEgg) so you’re likely to see them listed most frequently below. First up…<\/p>\n

      SD Card storage for the Wii U:<\/strong>
      \nPick up a USB SD Card Reader<\/a> and snag an SD Card<\/a>. I’d suggest getting a Class 10 and make sure if it’s a MicroSD it comes with an SD card adapter. Both SD and SDHC are fine.<\/p>\n
