Oddworld Difficult to Squeeze onto 8GB Wii U

The developers behind the upcoming Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty are having issues with the game's file size on Nintendo Wii U.

In a recent podcast, Lorne Lanning divulged new details on the project, noting how he is "desperate to be on Nintendo". The problem stems from the game's filesize, and how it would exceed that available space on a Basic Wii U console - those with the 8GB Wii U model wouldn't be able to download the game without needing an additional hard-drive.

For the moment, the team is "absolutely giving it our best effort and we want to succeed. But it is a challenge not having a hard disk."

Aside from this hurdle, it isn't a "deal breaker nor the only challenge," the studio stated on Twitter yesterday.

Regarding Wii U, while supporting the 8GB model is a consideration, it is neither a dealbreaker nor the only challenge.
