Title: Some third-party company needs to make this, naow.
Post by: UncleBob on November 21, 2014, 12:26:47 PM
Wii U Console Stand + HDD + USB Hub.

A similar shape to the gray stand that came with the original Wii (although, a bit larger to fit everything).  Wii U fits on top.  1TB (or larger?) HDD built in. 8-port USB hub.  Coming out of the back are two USB cables to plug into the Wii U (one for the hard drive, one for the USB port) and a power cable (to self-power both the USB hub and the hard drive).

Someone make that happen.

I've been saying that since the Wii U was announced.  Also add a little additional cooling.

Maybe if the Wii U were more popular, some company would make one...

It's a neat idea, but something that would probably only appeal to the people who browse these forums, which as great a group as it is, is probably not a wide enough audience to make it practically feasible.

I was gonna reply with something along these lines earlier today, but you said it much nicer than I would have.

I'd probably back it.

It's somewhat surprising no one had one out at launch, though. It would have been when the system had a lot more obvious potential, and would have been a time more people would have been in the market for such a thing.
