That should not have bricked your system. Again, I did it quite a few times with nothing happening. Might be a different problem then.
it was just during the download
the update was taking too long so i turned my system off. now it won't turn on.
how fucked am i
I can't tell you how awesome it was to get stuck in a ghost house in NSMBU, suspend the game with a screenshot, open up the internet, and watch a youtube video to find the secret. WiiU is the system of the forever.
i've been hearing different things for what people's Wii U's are doing when they're bricked. something about blinking lights on the front or something?
mine behaves like normal. turns on, blue light comes on and stays on. just no video or anything and the gamepad won't connect to it. is that a good or bad sign?
Anyone? Can anyone help me out with using an avatar on Miiverse? I've looked through the manual and nothing came up about it. Should I contact the Miiverse admins?
Sounds more like a shortage to your console. You did say that the power had been iffy in your area.
Are all the games running at native 1080p?

No games except Scribblenauts Unlimited, Rayman Legends (next year), and maybe a eShop game or two is native 1080p.
As others noted, it should have been safe to cut power during the download. Only during the actual installation process (which takes only a minute or two) is it dangerous to cut power.guess i'll call nintendo tomorrow when they open, then.
that's pretty irritating.
and now i'm afraid to update because if my power goes out i'm out $380...
Yeah - game looks great. Has a good challenge to it too. Seems like not many people are playing it though Miiverse favorites and leader boards.i nominate nano assault for best looking launch title.
Does the Wii U browser work in portrait mode?

Yeah, just for the Wii remote. In Japan, the sensor bar won't be packed in.What is the sensor bar for? Just Wii controllers or the game pad also?

Has anyone confirmed skipping the first update forces it to background download? If so I'd say a PSA thread might be in order for people getting their new systems.

thought monster hunter ultimate was like this as well.
How essential are Motion Plus enabled wiimotes? Do all Wii U games require them? I only have two.
Yes.Has anyone confirmed skipping the first update forces it to background download? If so I'd say a PSA thread might be in order for people getting their new systems.
By far the best thing so far from this system is the fact that I purposely skipped the system update to play right away and it downloaded the system update in the background.
You're right. That one too, sorry.

Yes.
Someone in this thread I believe also said it it was possible.

Another question, I am getting the Wii U for my daughter for Christmas (its not secretly for me honest!). She always enjoys 2 player games so what kind of second controller should I be looking at? Do I buy the Pro controller or do I buy a Wii-mote?
Also its there any kind of 3DS interactivity with the Wii U?
The Wii U will work with USB 3.0 usb powered drives. You just need a Y cable for it to receive enough juice.

Any one of those cables will make your USB 3.0 usb powered external drive work with the Wii U.
It should also be noted that the Wii U seems to prefer it, if you have the system turned off before plugging the drive in.
Toys R Us shipped my Wii U some time yesterday.
When I had the Best Buy preorder, I had also ordered NSMBU and ZombiU, but decided to take advantage of TRU's B1G1 40% off and grab NSMBU and Scribblenauts Unlimited instead.
Is TRU even carrying ZombiU? It isn't listed in the site, even for store pickup.
I have like $100 in Wii Shop "points" and $20 in 3DS shop money. I'm GUESSING I can't use those on the new eShop?

I like seeing all those comments and drawings on the plaza when i boot the system. There is no way to make your Mii walk around is it?
And in Mario U, i've seen some Mii balloons near levels on the world wap, what does that mean?
You dont walk, but using the analog sticks you can move your sight around and focus in on the people in the different groups to read what they're saying. Left stick moves, right stick zooms.
In NSMBU the balloons are people's comments. Hit Left trigger (or maybe it's left button) to see what they're saying.
I heard that you can add your WiiU Nintendo ID in the Wii Shop Channel though so there's still a possibility to "unlock" them in the future. Can someone confirm the NNID in the Wii Shop?Nope. However it seems like Wii U <-> 3DS may become possible in the future. Wii Shop Channel is locked forever in Wii mode.
yes
