Nintendo Wii U (Thread 2!)

[Shozuki]

Can't, theres no cancel button. Unless I'm missing something.

You can just hit 'start software' and it'll download the update in the back.

[BIG EDD]

With the firmware patch and a patch for mario and zombi u and downloaded uplay and YouTube took me around 1hr 30mins including installationonly had a quick go on mario and zombi u so fa.Love the gamepad and the feel of it,zombi u looked really good but ill have to wait until Sunday night to play it now thanks to wasting my day off waiting for TNT to deliver

2 hours blimey :S guess the best thing to go is let it run in the back , play Mario zombie u for a couple of hours , I have one of those wii USB LAN adapters I will try that, my console still not shipped from shopto oh well , will just go buy one on town then take the zombie u one back next week if it Arrives

[ETC]

How about just asking for wireless that works everything else can do it even a ?20 cheap phone, why not the Wii-U

I can see the next Nintendo Direct now:

How? On my GamePad screen I've got a progress bar saying "downloading data for update" and on my TV it says about what the system update does. Even putting a game in does nothing.

I have no menu!!!!!

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

It's on your gamepad screen as the update screen appears.

Too late now. I just have a pretty blue bar to stare at.

This. Is. Laughable.

I've just worked out why you can't see it. Your downloading the firmware update right? Not the update for the game, right?

Only comes up on game updates, not firmware.

Has anyone else noticed on the back of the Gamepad a small screw like hole? Wonder what that could be used for?

To replace the battery I would imagine ...

Just running through the update now .. I could be going to be very late tonight! ... However setting up on wireless was no issue, and update is coming down fairly quick.

Regarding all this talk about the CPU and GPU speed, the only way that guy could of got the information is using Homebrew in Wii Mode. It may well be that the CPU and GPU get clocked at that speed in Wii mode to make it compatible.

I very much doubt you would be able to play a game like Mass Effect 3 on a 1.2Ghz processor, where the GPU is clocked at 500mhz.... Regardless of whether its a console or not.

I will take that with a pinch of salt until proven otherwise.
