hahaha, one poster said making sailing faster in the Wind Waker remake would take all of 5 minutes.
A lot of time you can't take it seriously.

It doesn't surprise me that they haven't got the main summer update out and it's delayed.

Who said they delayed it???
Yes but the Streaming and WiFi Unit in the Gamepad is still working and drains from the battery.

Unless I'm mistaken, "Between end of September and beginning of October" is not technically "Summer."

Hey mr. big business! Why wouldn't you approve of "churning out cash-ins" and the fact that they purposely focus on titles that sell well, but are less loved among the smaller hardcore crowds?
I'd suggest you take your millions somewhere else if you're so upset with your investment?
I can't wait to witness your meltdowns when we make the new Summer Update OT! Spring time was so fun!

I think every console is released too early.
It's a modern age when you can make it as you go.
Wait for the others you will get shocked , i will remind you
For this Gen we get Red ring of death, yellow light of death ....

It was meant to be released in the Summer. They have posted this:-
So delayed. What a company. Can't even get a promised update out on time. They are a joke.

Best case scenario they still hit what they said as the end of September is still summer.
Worst case scenario it gets delayed a few weeks.
Not a game but an update.
FUCK THIS COMPANY.

The last major update made a huge difference to the OS speed, and the summer update is intended to make further strides there, as well as apparently adding other functionality.
I bought mine shortly before the first major update, and while I didn't have all of the frustrations others did - user experience seems to vary quite a bit, with some experiencing lots of hard locks etc. and others (me included) seeing none, but still with very slow load times - getting the update made a big difference to me.
If they can bring the load times down a touch more it will make the whole thing feel as fluid as it's obviously intended to be. Shame it's a little bit later than expected.
It can be considered delayed if it is released after September 21st.
Since we don't have a date can we stop acting like this is the end of the world? Recently Sony released an update that crashed more than a few PS3. They even came out public asking people not to download it until they fix it, so I rather have a update delayed than this.
What a joke of a company... I can't even...

Dude, it's just a firmware update.
I've been playing around my new PS3 yesterday and I found Wii U interface better. The eShop is similar to the PS Store. There was also a lot of patches to download, for the system and before playing every game. And that console is 7 years old. You would think it would be more stable by now. You could say Wii U was released too early based on the lack of games though.

I think that post was sarcasm, but the poster above was a genuine loser. But it's pretty difficult to tell in these threads, people should leave more hints.

I must be lucky out of this group. All of this delay and slow this and I had to wait 5 seconds for that goes unnoticed here......

Are they as bad as those that go out of their way to nitpick on anything about the company yet still buy every console they bitch about???
Maybe but they aren't as funny.
Why would they delay a update if not to make sure it works as intended?
It is not like they are holding this on purpose only to angry the owners, is it?
And we don't even know if it is NOT coming out this summer, so you may be complaining just for the sake of it. Talk about straw man.

Aren't those dependent on your internet connection therefore could vary or are they always going to be constant???
I too have hit that point. Too many "Please understand" comments and constant empty rhetoric designed to pull the wool over our eyes. I will no longer be gullible, nor give them my money until they sort it out. I have a Wii U already but at this point I cannot see myself being a Nintendo console buyer in the future.
The problem is, it feels like nothing more than a bomb on the level of a Super Nova is going to get Nintendo to get with the program. They are so protective, insular and quite frankly uninterested in what gamers have to say that they need a big slap upside the head to wake them up.
Nintendo is a company that wants to work like back in the old days when noone could really talk about gaming, consoles, what they wanted and what they think the company should do. The day before the BBS's and internet when we got our information controlled strictly through gaming magazines. This way they can control the message and we don't realise what we're missing. These days we have imaginations, we can talk about it and let companies know what we want. We're aware of what all the other companies have planned and we're aware of the games other regions get. Sony and MS seem to be listening to some degree but Nintendo continues to think that if they ignore people we'll just go away and be happy with what we get.
I feel the tide is turning due to the explosion of iOS and casual gaming, indy games and the new tack by Sony especially to be a gamer's company and it's reaching a critical point for Nintendo. With the polarisation of AAAAAAAAA or indy, and the emergence of a massive number of casual gamers who are happy with bite-sized 99c games, Nintendo is becoming more marginalised. They don't easily cater to third parties and their AAAAAAA desires (Bigger, faster, stronger) and they don't have a great track record with indies, and despite comments to the contrary the eShop is dead. They also can't compete with 99c (And they shouldn't either), so there's a market that will be hard for them to get.

Wait so people are pissed off with a 1 or 2 week delay for firmware?

If the Wii U was bought as many times as I hear this, it would be doing rather well.
NEW ZELDA.
Goddammit, Nintendo, ok :[
Yes... you have a point... But I'm not sure, to be honest. But now when I click the eShop or Miiverse icons it shows the splash screen right away... Looks faster, but I don't know.

I actually forgot about this update.
I would still dwell on it somewhat if it wasn't for the first one that fixed the most important speeds but while I look forward to this other one, haven't really given it much thought.

Nitpick. If it was minor things that it wouldn't be a issue but it's been one thing after another. It's like everything they do is delayed or the wrong thing. It's embarrassing.
Personally. I like owning gear that I would recommend to friends in a heartbeat. My WiiU is the only device I own that I wouldn't recommend.
It's a nice piece of hardware that's been totally mismanaged by the platform company.
Because they are incompetent and unable to get a product out on time.
Please understand...
You need to look up straw man.

this is basically WiiConnect24 all over again. I switched off automatic updates for my wii u when its off. I dont want the system to overheat. Hell, I will unplug the console when im done using it just to make sure. Never forget the Wii YLOD.

It's not just one thing.
It's the constant steady accumulation of ineptitude by Nintendo that's aggravating and has made me really regret buying this system.

It's only embarrassing if you let it be.
Might be disappointing though depending on the person.
Fine to be critical of a product you buy but sometimes it gets excessive, predictable and unrealistic.
Also hard to take some seriously like you when you said how great NintendoLand was and how your purchase was definitely not a mistake, then the next day you say how the game is ok and are almost completely negative about the system in every post.
People should bitch about the right things like the account situation, the lack of games and important stuff like no voicechatting.
An update could be delayed a few weeks is not something that anyone should dwell on, especially when no one knows what the update will contain.

It honestly sounds like you'd be better off just selling the thing. I mean if you feel this negatively about a company/product, I don't see why you would have any reason to own that particular product.

Dat Nintendo Magic.
Fuck, this system sucks.
Early adopter???
That's right!!!
It's not the fact that they complain. We all have a valid reason for complaining. It's how they complain. I agree we can't just ignore that they have problems, but going all doom-and-gloom and taking aggresive stances won't solve anything.
Things just become personal when your favorite brand is struggling. People view it (subconsciously) as a personal attack on their beliefs. The natural reaction of the brain is anger, as that is the de-facto personal shield.

system acts "even" faster for me now. (didn't had that horrible speed issues anyway or frequent hard-locks (had 3 in the entire time since launch))

No it's not, the WiiU on checks for downloads about a minute after you switch it off and now with this update intermittently at various times in the day. Wii connect 24 stayed on all the time and never used the fan to cool down, it also never did anything useful.
Just curious though how often is the wiiu now checking for updates, once a day, twice?
Speaking for myself, the bitching about this delay is because it's on top of no fucking games. No games is far more important of course, but even when they have next to no god damn games for their new console in about 9 months, they can't get the eShop running, only trickle out VC games and have to release their first update 5 months after release and their next one 4 months after that.
They just need to send me a dev kit and access to their source repository and I'll fix their damned OS myself.
