Assassin's Creed III

I downloaded it, but I wish I bought the disc. It's 16 gigs which is a lot of the hard drive. And because nintendos network seems so slow, even with a 30 Mbps downstream it took 8 hours. The game performs well but you have to sacrifice too much ds.

I'm not familiar with the term solid state. All I know is you can purchase up to a 2 TB external hard drive. Which I will be doing in the near future.

Right on. Thanks for the reply. I think I'll pick it up on disk because I'm planning on buying the DLC and I don't have an external hard drive for my Wii U yet. Does anyone make external solid state drives?

Nintendo has recommended HDDs, just saying.

I contacted Nintendo last week about the issue of External Hard-Drives (tech support). I was told there are currently 4 models that Nintendo will say work without problem. I bought this one below, as tech support listed it as one of the 4.

The issue that tech support said is that pretty much ANY hard drive with its own dedicated power source will work (search desk-top hard drive). The issue with a hard drive that draws its power from the source (the Wii U) is that in the case with the U, its performances drops significantly, becomes sluggish, and freezes happen frequently.

Lastly, don't think people realize how big current gen console games are in regards to size. AC:3 clocked in at 16 GB, Mario and NintendoLand were 2-3.5 GB. While the digital promotion is great, its gonna take a long time to get games. I will use it for eShop games, but most retail games it is quicker to drive to the store and back. The only true benefit is downloading a game is at Mid-night the night of release to have it in the morning when you wake up.
