From the Japanese official site. Retail is 6980 yen, download is 6280 yen. More than 16.7 GB of space required.

Damn, even Wii U software sells at a loss

 

[Skilletor]

Jesus. 17gb?

 

[Mr.LightMan]

That's interesting. Wonder if the same will happen outside of japan.

 

[Pharros]

That is a huge download, holy crap.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

Wonder how many games will go this route....

 

[tnaden]

Might just get this! 17gig on a 2TB HDD barely scratches it.
Feel sorry for everyone with a download cap right about now.

 

[BY2K]

16.7 GB of space required.

WHAT!? That's insane for a fighting game! What the hell?

That's more than half the space the Deluxe Wii U has!

 

[Exterminieren]

Third party DD title on the eShop?

Well well well. Nintendo making strides.

That sure does sound like a ton of space for a Tekken game.

All those Nintendo costumes add up

Basic Wii-U model owners am cry

LOL...

LMAO...

Mistake surely? Is it not meant to be 1.67gb? Is it just one disc on 360?

Makes more sense....

[DR2K]

Jesus. 17gb?

Probably the cutscenes being uncompressed.

Edit: It's about the same size as the PS3 version.

 

[TriGen]

That is a huge download, holy crap.

Shockingly huge download!

 

[@MUWANdo]

Maybe it's using assets from the arcade version?

 

[BlackJace]

TTT2 is the most feature packed fighter to date, though.

 

[metalslimer]

Jesus at that space. Hopefully developers won't start uncompressing things unnecessarily boosting the file sizes. It would take forever to download this through wifi.

 

[KillerTravis]

Extra-sized mushrooms.

 

[Drago]

Wonder if it will get a digital release worldwide, complete with a discount everywhere too...

Also, 17GB?! That's huge!

Oh my goddd

 

[Medalion]

Gat damn

Gonna have buy another 3TB hard drive for dis shit

 

[Thraktor]

^Here's your answer.

When you've got 25GB discs to play with, incredibly high bitrate 1080p video seems like a great idea. Less so when you realise it's a download title too.

 

[EloquentM]

All of them

Third party DD title on the eShop?

i believe iwata confirmed that all titles will be available for DD. edit: don't quote me on this

 

[tnaden]

That's enough room for 176 games of that size.. I think you're fine with 1TB (58). Heck 500GB is enough room to host 29 games.

 

[JordanN]

All those Nintendo costumes add up

Basic Wii-U model owners am cry

Naw, each costume should be no more than 20mb.

So even if this game featured a 100 costumes in all, that would only result in 2GB of space being taken up by them.

 

[Drago]

Link? I don't know when or if he ever said that

 

[EloquentM]

It was being spouted by someone in the old wii u thread. I'm on my phone so sorry drago, no link for you.

 

[Medalion]

ICE COLD...BUUUURRRNNN

 

[itxaka]

Wow really? I been in the black regarding Wiiu but this sounds great, especially for nintendo

[SirIgbyCeaser]

Muaahahaaaa

USB 2 harddrives am cry.

 

[abstract alien]

Link? I don't know when or if he ever said that

Yeah, I think he is confusing Iwata stating that all Nintendo published titles as being available digitally day 1 from now on. Third party titles aren't included unless nintendo is publishing I believe, such as Bayonetta 2. Wonder if Ninja Gaiden will be. Nintendo is handling it this time right?

 

[Ridley327]

And there were people who thought that external HDDs wouldn't play games straight off of them, too.

 

[Trevelyan9999]

Well it's obvious that the entire game is pre-rendered.......but seriously, wtf? I would rather have the game run at 1080p and have 720p cut scenes than the other way around.....

i could be wrong. My memory is bad too. I'll edit my post.

 

[Hero]

Damn that is a huge download. Good to see that it's cheaper than retail but since this is positive Nintendo news this thread will go unnoticed for the most part.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Who would think that considering you can play games off a USB stick in the 360?

 

[DonMigs85]

The PS3 version is 17.1 GB
Nothing special about this really.
Personally, I'm only really willing to download DVD-sized games.

 

[Medalion]

Wii-U version weaker than PS3 confirmed?

 

[Ridley327]

People who think that Nintendo still uses the setup they had on the Wii when it came to digital downloads.

The point of all the hullabaloo is that it's a lot to download in general. What's the point of your post?

That Tekken is a big game? Geez, calm down. Someone earlier said that it might be a typo. Fact is the game really is that big.

 

[abstract alien]

i could be wrong. My memory is bad too. I'll edit my post.

Don't worry, by memory is horrible too. I'm there with you :^/

 

[Thoraxes]

It's good to see more people finally leave the DVD ghetto.

I for one welcome our new future now that more people are adapting.

Someone's underpants are too tight it seems.
Since the PS3 and Wii U both have similar capacity discs, it stands to reason they would use the same high-res, high bitrate cinematics and other stuff.

The funny thing is though, even Sony doesn't really seem to have any digital downloads for games that make good use of Blu-Ray's space. For instance, none of the Uncharted games are on the PS Store.

Uncharted 1 and 2 are on the Store.

 

[Anth0ny]

17GB? What in the fuck?

 

[DonMigs85]

Uncharted 1 and 2 are on the Store.

Really? How could I miss that.
Anyway just seems kinda impractical to me unless you have blazing internet and hundreds of gigabytes of HDD space.
