Wii U Firmware Update is live everywhere. Everyone calm down.

This is great! I've got about 5 minutes left on my download. I'm anxious to get my hands on the new features. So far, everyone seems happy with it. Also, I can't help but feel that the OP isn't updated with all the known features? I'm seeing higher resolution screen captures now.
 
Just read the first couple of pages. The most amazing thing so far are all the WiiU owners that don't know about features that were added to their console months ago lol

DAYUM SON. That looks really gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

Just thought I'd throw it out there even though I'm pretty certain what the answer is, but can you take Wii game or Wii U VC screenshots?

Screenshot feature's pretty handy. Wherever it would open up a file browser on a computer, it has you select between TV and GamePad screenshot (although yeah, shame about jpg). Still rad, though.

Still not updated...


My WiiU takes about 7-8 seconds to get into settings and 16-17 to get out..

How long does it takes now guys?

So happy it finally auto-adjusts VC games to 4:3 on the TV. My TV had major lag by using it's scaler to crunch the 720p output to 4:3.

Is it true you can keep video over HDMI and push out audio via composite games? That'd remove a lot of audio lag caused by HDMI in games like Rhythm Heaven Fever.
 
Soo I can also confirm that Homebrew in general seems to work though I wonder if there's a way to make it run in 16:9 :/ For those fearing bricks, I think it's safe to update :)
 
How is it nice or how to do it?

Former, because Miiverse capture was mediocre quality. The latter, go to an image upload site and it will prompt you.

We'll probably just cannibalize the Miiverse screenshot thread.

yeah I want to know how this works... so I go to imgur on the Wii U browser?

so all games will have image capture on OS level? and the browser will find it stored in a folder?

It was in the official Japanese patch notes.

New native res screenshots is fantastic, but they should have made the screenshot function more intuitive. Most people probably doesn't know it exists. I'd like screenshots to be saved to internal memory, and then you can do what you want with them from there, like with Vita. (Though that would require the Wii U to have a photos app to view pictures like every other system on earth.)
