Did they actually put a hard drive in the Wii U this time? I know that's why XI couldn't be ported to the original Wii.
They didn't include a HDD, which I appreciate since I immediately swapped HDDs in my PS3 upon purchase anyway and would have done the same with the Wii U. I'm running a 1TB external that I got for dirt cheap.

16gb? That's about enough for 2 mario games and some golf. I think they expect you to use a usb drive. Not sure about the WiiU but I ran alpha off a usb drive at work and it was slow as molasses >.>
I have 2 games (3 if you count the NBA Demo I downloaded) on the external. They run perfectly fine. Most of the biggest hardware issues have been addressed and almost all have been improved (though far from perfect, ie load times of any game are still a bit long, but not PS1 long anymore). I'm a bit dissapointed there haven't been more games since release, but I don't regret my purchase. Oddly I find myself enjoying the TVii function. It was a blast during the SuperBowl. The comments community has some amazing artists too. If anything, I hope the social functions stick for future Nintendo platforms.
