Yay, finally. I've gone mostly digital with the Wii U so this is very convenient.

Are you loving kidding me Nintendo? The biggest feature I wanted in an update for the last year and you drop it the day after I pack up the Wii U for moving. It'll be at least a month before I can do anything with it now.

I mean, this is a silly first world problem grade whine, but still Nintendo. That timing.

Mercury Crusader: Apr 20, 2005; You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!

Finally, I can organize all those games I bought on eShop. It was getting crowded and unorganized, especially with all the Virtual Console games I have.

And the name is displayed on the folder! An entire name, not just a single letter/number like the 3DS folders!

EDIT: Somebody else on the internet has tested the full potential of folders:

You should try unpacking quicker. My record is at least 29 days faster than yours.

Also, they changed the in-game home menu thing so it's less bloated and it loads much quicker, it rules.

The new Home menu is sexy. The new folders are epic boosts to navigation efficiency. Plus, there's the trademark Nintendo improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments. This is another Grade A system update. Thank you, Nintendo.

If he's in the same spot as me, he's living somewhere temporarily. I'm building a house and construction went over my old apartment lease, so I'm in a temp apt until the house is done. Most of my poo poo is packed away and not being opened. However, my Wii U made the cut for things we unpacked. 360 and PS3 did not make the cut.

I was trying to create the folders ala an iPhone by dragging and dropping an icon on top of another before accidentally creating an actual folder by randomly tapping an empty space. I felt dumb.

Evidently not. When I turned my Wii U on there was an EULA update so I assumed it pushed the download automatically.

Oops. :eng99:

I was having trouble too; for whatever reason, this update wasn't pushed to my Wii U. I do have it set to automatically download updates. I'm manually getting it now.

Picked up Tropical Freeze for the digital sale. It's really good but Jesus Christ!! We're still doing early levels and some sections are hard as balls! I wonder how many children bought this game. Would a kid enjoy this or is it just too much?

I still say compared to Returns, Tropical Freeze is a lot more forgiving.

That being said, it ramps up in difficulty really quickly and it might be too hard for too young a kid.

That being said, plenty of adults are terrible as gently caress at platformers too so the kid could do just fine. I beat DKC2 as a kid SOMEHOW back in the day

International move bro. We get the stuff put in a container today and fly out in a week. And then we have the container put in storage for 3 weeks because we don't have any idea where we're going to move to yet.

You can make the folders colorful, too - just tap the wrench next to the "Name" field in the folder view!

Can you make one to match THE COAT? Or is it single colors only?

Single colors only. I hope someday they go the extra step and let us make icons for folders.

Okay I have labeled all my Wii U games, eshop purchases and virtual console games in different colored folders for easier accessibility.

That would be the most ideal, sadly. Have a Virtual Console folder with nested NES, SNES, and GBA folders within

Pretty sure automatic update downloads are another one of those options in the menu that you opted into in an update a while back while not really reading what it was notifying you about.

They did just update it with a new look. The same every other app has.
What exactly is wrong with the Netflix app other than that it doesn't appear to support profiles? For I netflix use I can either use my PS3 or my WiiU. The interface, booting speed and silence of the WiiU always make me pick it over the PS3. :shrug:

Well, it doesn't have autoplay for one. On the PS3 it will let you select the next episode at the end of the current one. On the Wii U it just boots you out into the menu.
