Latest http://Nintendo.com update lists Version 2.1.0 U as improving stability and minor interface adjustments.

.

 

[Drago]

Nintendo TVii?

Edit: guess not :/

 

[antonz]

Its roughly 593 MB and focused on stability

 

[PixyJunket]

.

Thanks.

Hopefully no more freezes? Although I only got hit by that once.

 

[Metalmurphy]

"improving stability"

lol, PSN 2.0

 

[ArynCrinn]

The OS better be faster.

 

[gamergirly]

We got about 37 minutes left, about 20% downloaded

 

[Freezie KO]

I'd assume freezing is the first thing they want to fix if they can.

 

[WordAssassin]

Stability? Does that mean no more hard locks and possibly some faster load times?

 

[Deleted member 284]

Downloading

 

[Rubixcuba]

Faster OS, especially in regards of Miiverse would be very amazing.

 

[pestul]

The OS better be faster.

Doubt it. If they couldn't roll that out in the first patch for launch, I'm guessing it will take a little while. Hopefully I will eat crow soon lol.

 

[Bony Manifesto]

625MB? I'd hope at that size, it'll do something...

 

[ArynCrinn]

Stability? Does that mean no more hard locks and possibly some faster load times?

One would assume, yes. But these terms in the pantheon of update historia are pretty broad.

 

[brandonh83]

No way I'm downloading this until its been tested by guinea pigs!

 

[WAR recon zero]

600 MB

Xbox firmwares are like 100 MB
PSN firmwares likewise

WTF

 

[Inferno313]

What if this is the Nintendo TVii Update, but it just won't be turned on until during the direct tomorrow!

 

[Aeana]

625MB? I'd hope at that size, it'll do something...

Maybe they are repeating the problem that the PS3 had for a long time, where it has to redownload the entire thing instead of some sort of patch. Would not surprise me even a little bit.

 

[DragonSworne]

Why is it so large?

Is it replacing a lot if data in the first patch?

 

[ZedIndyLil]

I assume this is not "the" December update of legend? That's coming around the 10th?

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Maybe they are repeating the problem that the PS3 had for a long time, where it has to redownload the entire thing instead of some sort of patch. Would not surprise me even a little bit.

Perhaps, but wasn't the initial update well over a gigabyte?

 

[brandonh83]

My cracked and unreliable crystal ball is saying that this is going to let us play VC games with the gamepad.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Faster OS, especially in regards of Miiverse would be very amazing.

Miiverse and eshop loading speeds are really bad. I still use them (especially Miiverse) but it needs to be fixed. They should load as quickly as the Internet browser does.

 

[angelfly]

Odd that the WiiU updates are so large.

 

[Sanic]

Yeah, impossible that they're using any kind of lean system like delta patching. I imagine this will adresss the hard locks, and thats about it.

 

[Spieler Eins]

Out in EU too?

 

[Carl]

Maybe they are repeating the problem that the PS3 had for a long time, where it has to redownload the entire thing instead of some sort of patch. Would not surprise me even a little bit.

Where they that big even then? I don't ever remember a 600MB firmware update, but i'm probably wrong.

 

[UltimateIke]

The estimated time remaining keeps going up. It's climbed over two hours now!

Everyone go away and let me download it first. Stop using up all of Nintendo's bandwidth! D:

 

[Rubixcuba]

Maybe they are repeating the problem that the PS3 had for a long time, where it has to redownload the entire thing instead of some sort of patch. Would not surprise me even a little bit.

The entire thing? As in its redownloading the first patch and this update ontop of it again? That kinda thing?

 

[test_account]

Perhaps, but wasn't the initial update well over a gigabyte?

Yep, but it included stuff like Miiverse. I dont think that this will need to be downloaded in every firmware update. I'm guessing the 600MB update fixes some app related things as well. I'd be surprised if the core OS/firmware for the WiiU is about 600MB at least.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

No way I'm downloading this until its been tested by guinea pigs!

Wise, very wise.

 

[Disguises]

Out in EU too?

Yep

 

[meltingparappa]

Hoping it reduces the hardlocks.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

It'll probably remove support for SD cards and classic Wiimotes, disable the Wii Mode for security purposes, and enable keyboard support for Miiverse (but only while running Nintendo Land or NSMBU).

 

[kadotsu]

I hope they'll issue a third update in 20 days. It would give me confidence in Nintendo's scheduling skills.

 

[Gouda Jouji]

NEXT GEN UPDATES

 

[superchunk]

Perhaps, but wasn't the initial update well over a gigabyte?

yeah, like 5.

 

[JordanLMiller]

NEXT GEN UPDATES

I heard this update replaces the CPU and doubles the RAM.

 

[Dead Prince]

nintendo knows how to combine updates. <3

 

[antonz]

I hope they'll issue a third update in 20 days. It would give me confidence in Nintendo's scheduling skills.

There is another one within 20 days for sure. Guaranteed

 

[Tagg9]

Where's the livestream with advertisements and memes?

 

[Fuzzy]

I'll let PS+ automatically download it for me tonight. Oh wait.

 

[Drago]

How do you cancel an update to make it download in the background?

I don't see a button for it...

 

[brandonh83]

Wait this automatically starts the download? I went into download management, it says that there's no system updates, but at the top it says status: downloading

 

[Flame Lord]

Its roughly 593 MB and focused on stability

Poor basic owners.

 

[StreetsAhead]

There is another one within 20 days for sure. Guaranteed

TVii, demos, DLC, and so on have to come from somewhere.

I bet they'll want some NSMBU DLC out in January

 

[davonaytor]

Just went to my download management and it was already downloading. Nice

 

[Skiesofwonder]

For whatever reason this makes me think the NintendoTVii update is coming late December (if even then). If it was coming in 6 days like rumored, wouldn't Nintendo have just combined these updates?

 

[abstract alien]

Yeah, mine started auto updating. I was playing Mario and browsing gaf. Saw this thread, went to check, and it's asked about 35% done lol.
