Wii Basic and Deluxe, which is worth buying? Well this not really a question, because it’s still a lingering dilemma. When you look at it, Nintendo is doing pretty well, and not so much for rival Microsoft. This article will actually discuss the differences between these highly innovative and top of the range gaming consoles, and probably reasons to choose one over the other.
This actually leaves out an important question you need to ask before deciding on which to buy Wii U Basic or Deluxe; and whether you should get a Wii U in the first place. For a while, the answer would have probably been a big NO, unless of course you were a huge fan on Nintendo. But this is beginning to change, and the system is finally in some real software lineup.
While this article won’t entice you to buy any particular product, it will just bring the popular and largely debated subject matter closer to home. let’s look at the differences between these models.
Wii U Basic vs. Deluxe: Flash Drive
One notable, and pretty much a huge difference between these models is the size of the flash drive. The Wii U Basic has 8GB and the Wii U has 32GB. Here’s something to note though. These storage sizes are mere tiny specs of the sizes of traditional HDDs, like what PlayStation and Xbox have. Wii U Deluxe will hold a couple of full games as well as some DLC; and Basic will be able to handle some DLC, but this is just about it. If you are however looking to purchase a lot of DLC or to download a couple of games, you will require an external HDD. This is based on the design.
Extra Junk
Wii U Deluxe comes inclusive of some knickknacks that are not found in Basic, and one such is the Game Pad charging stand. Although it can be quite nice, it’s not exactly an essential accessory; GamePad doesn’t need batteries anyways as it comes with its own charger. Other parts include stands for Wii, pretty handy accessories if you’re looking to position it vertically.
Color
This may change with time, but for the time being, the Wii U Deluxe comes in black and the Wii U Basic in white. The white version of the Wii U Deluxe was announced by Nintendo, but largely for the Japanese market. Nothing has since been heard regarding the same version for the international market. Maybe this will change because color is among the best reasons for you to get the Wii U Basic. Based on various reviews and online reports; many gamers tend to agree that the black version of Wii U Basic smudges quite noticeably and quickly for that matter.
