No wonder why watching youtube videos was all weird and stuttery.

My Wii U was downloading the update in the background and I didn't even know it.

Thanks to this thread I checked. Mines says about 1 hour 35 minutes left looks to be already about 25% to 33% done already.

 

[F#A#Oo]

So it's safe to say Nintendo have upgraded their servers for faster download speeds?

A little yes...not drastically though.

 

[SteveWinwood]

3DS update too at the same time.
What can this mean?

WiiU is in 3d.

 

[Ken Masters]

So the Wii U will automatically download?


Please fix:

-horribly slow UI
-terrible WIFI
-lockups

then I will be at peace

 

[nickcv]

32 minutes left

maybe it's because it 3 am here, and no one is actually awake and stressing the server, but this is going really fast

(italy btw)

 

[Sandfox]

3DS update too at the same time.
What can this mean?

That's pretty interesting. I'm interesting in seeing impressions on what this patch improves.

 

[Kerub]

Sorry for the massive size

Image broken, yo.

 

[abstract alien]

Mine doesn't seem to have a progress bar or anything.

That's weird. Hopefully this update fixes that stuff lol

 

[Samus4145]

8 minutes...12 hours...16 minutes...2 hours...32 minutes.

Make up your mind!

 

[brandonh83]

That's weird. Hopefully this update fixes that stuff lol

Disregard, that was just because the update hadn't started for me automatically. I had to go into system settings and initiate it manually.

What threw me off is how it says "status: downloading" at the top of the download management screen.

 

[pestul]

I would laugh if it's mostly just a security patch.

 

[nickcv]

both console updating, and tomorrow we have a nintendo direct about both consoles.

coincidence?

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Mine says around 10 hours which is appropriate because that's how long my first update took...even though I have fast internet. Bummer I'll be at work when it's done probably but it beats having to actually sit around and wait for it to update.

Cool, I hope this does fix the freezing. I never downloaded the previous one since I always assumed that caused the issue to start with. I never experienced issues, but I also have yet to get much Wii U time in. So who knows. I guess I'll see how this goes for everyone.

 

[_woLf]

3 hours?

Fuck this shit.

Nintendo, you can't fucking do anything right.

Updating the update install of the downloaded update.

 

[F#A#Oo]

Mine is now moving at the rate of 1% per minute...lol

 

[kinggroin]

90%


Gonna start the 3DS one while I wait.

 

[Medalion]

DOWNLOADING NAO!

STABILIZE MII UP

 

[nickcv]

26 minutes left...
this is really going fast...

are all you guys from AUS and NA?

 

[Freezie KO]

Can you play while this downloads? What about playing online?

 

[jobber]

4 hours for the update

da hell

 

[F#A#Oo]

Why would you do that to your gamepad?

It doesn't need a condom...screensaver possibly...but condom? Why?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

got home just in time for this... mine said 9 hours for a while then went to 31 minutes

27 minutes now

 

[_woLf]

My timer is up to 4 hours now. Started at 2 hours. In Washington State.

This is ridiculous.

 

[Beats]

It feels weird seeing others getting extremely long download times. Mine says 11 minutes. :\

I hope this fixes a lot of the issues.

 

[brandonh83]

Went from 2+ hours to 1:44 to 38 minutes. Basically it's done when it's done.

 

[jooey]

3 hours?

Fuck this shit.

Nintendo, you can't fucking do anything right.

we're still not tapped out of kneejerk bullshit about this thing? Why don't you call the Better Business Bureau while you're at it.

 

[pestul]

22min remaining.. going pretty good. Well, maybe not for a 50Mbps connection..

 

[PhantomR]

3 hours?

Fuck this shit.

Nintendo, you can't fucking do anything right.

 

[Rubixcuba]

This update had been pretty fast here in Aus land, will probably end up taking about ~40min.

 

[abstract alien]

Well the 3ds update went lightning fast...

 

[nickcv]

mine is 18 minutes, are you also from EU? which country?

 

[kinggroin]

System is still slow as fuck



But hey! Friend request!

 

[K444WSR]

At 64% now...downloading pretty fast for me.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Why is it so laughably slow for some to DL? I hope this is sorted soon as I may be getting one within a few months.

 

[iammeiam]

My timer is up to 4 hours now. Started at 2 hours. In Washington State.

This is ridiculous.

I'm in Washington too, and the download estimate varied crazily at first. It got up to two and a half hours, broke through some kind of barrier, and has started actually proceeding. I'm guessing it's going to actually take closer to forty minutes, but it just sits at a percentage for a bit, then jumps ahead a few percent. The load balancing is weird.

 

[Def Jukie]

How do updates work on this system anyway? I was playing some Nintendo Land a little while ago. Turned the system off, hopped of GAF to find out there was a system update, turned my gamepad on to start the update, went to download management only to find out it had already started and was 40% done. Did it start by itself when I was playing earlier or does the system start an update when it's turned off? Either way, I love that you can keep using the system during updates. Next Gen indeed.

Also, I don't know if I just have really good internet but every update I have downloaded so far has gone way faster than seemingly what most people are experiencing (this one is almost done as I'm typing this). Not a single lock up on my machine either and I have played a lot over the past week. Nintendo must love me.

 

[Eric C]

I was playing NSMBU and on the Internet while it was downloading in the background.

Mine now says 1 hour left.

 

[Revven]

Well the 3ds update went lightning fast...

Sure did, mine only took like a few seconds to about a minute.

Maybe it's Miiverse implementation for the 3DS? Dunno, but it sure is perfect timing for a Nintendo Direct...

 

[jobber]

Why don't you call the Better Business Bureau while you're at it.

Did that already!

 

[F#A#Oo]

I think fixes the freezing issue...not slowness...

 

[pestul]

Bar looks to be over 50% with 18min remaining GO GO GO.

 

[nickcv]

be more detailed, please

I don't think it downloads while off, so it would've started while you were playing Nintendoland.

 

[GAMERG0D]

Mine says an hour lol

 

[UncleSporky]

But hey! Friend request!

Can you play Wii games on the pad

Are there demos in the shop

Are there any new icons anywhere

Is there a clock on the main screen

Are there new options in the settings menu

Baby steps.
