The SD port is for the original Wii backwards compatibility mode. You can save downloadable original Wii titles (like Virtual Console or WiiWare releases) to the SD card. For the Wii U, to address your space constraints issue, invest in an external USB hard drive. That will solve your problem there.

 

Do you download your Wii U games? If not, I don't know what the space problem is. You only have four games because of it? This doesn't make any sense unless you are strictly downloading your games. Game saves generally aren't very large, and patches aren't large either. You only have to worry about space constraints if you plan on downloading titles from the e-Shop, especially full version retail games.

OK, I didn't know how big the save states were. Like I said before, I don't have the deluxe model, just the smaller basic one. I don't download my games, I don't know how.

You pretty much have nothing to worry about then. Your 8GB will be plenty if you are not downloading stuff.

 

(PS: To buy and download games, you go to the eShop).

Rayman Origins for PS3 is amazing, especially multiplayer. Definitely invest in Rayman Legends. If you don't like it, I'll buy it from you.

 

Wii U is going to carry some excellent titles in the next year, you mentioned a few already. I personally believe Mario Kart 8 is going to be the best racer in recent memory -- a cross between WipEout on PS1 and Mario Kart on 3DS. It looks incredible, to boot. I'm sure DKC will be dynamite, as well.

 

Plenty to look forward to.

Legends seems to be the best version on the Wii U as the controls were meant for it.

 

As far as the HDD, it's not as bad as you think to get one. I got a MyBook (Western Digital) 320GB HDD used at a local place here for only 25 bucks, and it works great. It even matches my deluxe as it's the same shiny black plastic with the same "Wii blue" light in the front. I shouldn't have issues with save space ever again.
