Pretty sure it can't, since TF is 10GB and XCX is 22GB.
All 32 GB are not actually available for game storage.

Right, it says it won't install until you have the game disc inserted.

I only have a basic, guess no Xenoblase for me. Did not expect this to be a thing on a Nintendo device. Ah well.
Wait, it's 22GB? I thought it was just 10GB for the data packs.

I think he meant the digital version is 22gb. The data packs are 10gb.

the digital doownload must be 22 GB
Ah, okay. So I should be good if TF and XCX data packs are both 10GB each.
Ye, Nintendo, F*** off for not having the ability to use an external hard drive, oh wait....

How much of an improvement do these packs give? I have enough free space on my internal memory for some of them, but not all of them. Really do not want to have to buy an external hard drive.

to download the data packs you need 15GB free space

With a stock 32gb, XBX is now taking basically 100% of my HDD space. I had to delete Smash and MK8 update files and DLC just to make enough room.

Downloading this now. Half-way through. Glad I bought an external harddrive.

if going digital all you need to do is download the game it will come with the packs already installed.
No games and saves are stored int he same folder cant have them separate.
I think they are asking if downloading this now would make the waiting time for the digital version shorter.

if thats the case preloading the game will unlock it for playability at midnight on the 4th eastern time.

Can't wait for this game...kinda worried I'll never finish it though. I played a LOT of Xenoblade but I never actually saw the end of that game, just too long.

So the HDD could be used for Xenoblade while the internal storage will still have my other data correct? Should of been a little more clear with my question before posting.
Found this while searching about hard drives for Wii U. Disable sleep functions
Oh so that's what they're doing... like a partial install I guess?
I didn't hear it correctly during the stream so I assumed they were letting physical customers pre-load the day one patch or whatever. I was going on a bout how every AAA game should be doing that and just make patches publicly available like old PC games used to do.
Actually, isn't that what Nintendo has been doing? Every time a Smash Bros. patch or whatever goes out it shows up on the eShop as a separate "app" that's just free to download.

That's how it works on 3DS. However, 3DS's patching system is really weird due to how the 3DS OS was built up really piecemeal.
Oh wow lol

lol 50 more mins for me ahahahahaha
At least it'll be done (hopefully lol) before the game arrives.
Dammit!

I have my 250 GB PS3 internal in an enclosure plugged into my Wii U so I download as much as I can (demos, DLC) to fill it up.
I still have 153 GB left on it.

Trust me on this, get one of these An internal to external HDD enclosure., then grab one of these, a nice SSD, any size of your liking of course. Put those together and use it on your Wii U. This works so damn good. Some games have loaded faster on this combination than on the WiiU itself.
Don't worry, I've done their pre-launch downloads before. It actually starts downloading the game the moment the game is released. Even if your Wii U is turned off.

Is it just me, or is it kinda crazy that we can have the game sitting on our HDDs for the next 3 weeks, but can't play it yet?
I mean, I get the purpose of preloading, and it usually doesn't bother me, but 3 weeks is awfully early, and I want to play it now
