PaletteSwappedNinja posted:I'm pretty sure he did mention the size when he was talking about the real amount of space that would be available on each version of the console after the update. Well he said the OS was around 5GB yes. I didn't know the update was the entire OS. I really hope the reports about the console bricking if the update gets interrupted are false because that is loving horrible. extremebuff fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Nov 18, 2012 |

I still have to wait another two weeks to stare bleakly at the progress bar  .Teenage Fansub posted:For the Wii-shop and E-Shop Aus/NZ have been separate stores from the UK, so a piece of advice to Aussies n' Kiwis, sign up as a UK machine for better prices and less weirdly absent games. The premium code might be region-locked though. The Wii (or Wii-Mode) VC licenses might screw with this too down the line if they make some way to transfer them to the WiiU proper.

If you're staring at an update screen and want to watch something, my co-workers are running through the launch titles on a stream here: http://twitch.tv/gamesradar They're playing Edit: They're playing Tank Tank Tank now They have multiple cameras, so in some cases they show you what's happening on the gamepad while they play. plasticbugs fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Nov 18, 2012 |

Just a reminder that there's a power save feature on the Wii U that shuts it completely off after a certain period of time with no activity. Hopefully the download is considered "activity" but better safe than sorry. I'm assuming you can get into the settings before starting the update. Now I kinda wish there we had a midnight launch around here. Would've been nice to let it update while I slept. Getting a 5GB or so game from PSN takes a few hours for me. I'm guessing Nintendo's servers are about the same, especially when getting bombarded. Ah well, just a minor inconvenience (unless it bricks  )

I really hope that is just a onetime thing and the rest aren't as big (i.e. not downloading the entire OS), but that there is bullshit.

I'm pretty sure the update is more like 1-1.5GB, a streamer was monitoring his bandwidth while doing the update. Still way too big and absolutely terrible download speeds from Nintendo though.

Is it safe to let the GamePad charge while I run the update? I'm a little  about these sorts of things. Also how long does it take to fully charge the GamePad?

weird bleep posted:It seems weird to review a system when half the features were only added a few hours ago. It seems weird to review a system in general to me... If you are taking games into consideration in the review, wouldn't it make more sense to review it at the end of it's lifespan instead of the beginning? I guess they are doing the sliding review score or whatever, but the concept of applying a review score to a system seems strange to me.

Argue posted:Does the Deluxe come with the update pre-installed or something? What does the update have to do with the SKU you bought? No I was saying that its worthless as you have to have so much space free to even download the patch. And no the update has to be downloaded no matter which unit you bought.

Argue posted:Does the Deluxe come with the update pre-installed or something? What does the update have to do with the SKU you bought? No, all of them require you to download the patch and relax guys it's definitely not 5GB. I don't know the exact number but I've been watching the bandwidth on my connection and i'm at around 600MB with 60%. It's likely a 1.1 or 1.5GB patch people just like to whine about everything.

Why are people parroting a rumor about a 5GB download when they neither have the console nor a source? People want to be mad.
