  The basic Wii U only has 8GB of storage, some of which is used by the system, leaving you with practically nothing for game storage.
  
  Here are some game sizes:

  Nintendo recommends using an external USB HDD that has its own power supply, as the Wii U cannot power a HDD itself via USB.

  You can actually use a HDD that is USB powered, though, but you need to use both USB ports on the Wii U (with a "Y cable") because of one port not producing enough power.

  Nintendo also recommends against using flash memory (eg USB memory sticks), but I know people that use them.
