NSMBU is about 2 gig in size and required 20-30 minutes to install. That's just insane.
My 360 takes that long to install some discs. I don't see a massive problem with the Wii U if it's in line with other installation times.
Really? You must have something wrong with your drive then because mine never takes that long. Usually about 10 mins or less for the majority of big games. Maybe the model and all the weird DVD drives they swapped around changes that.
Why is punch out so freaking big is the bigger question.
It's a 36 megabyte game. It should install in a blink. I don't know if a WiiU game takes extrapolationally longer, but then again I can't understand how LEGO City Undercover is a 19GB download.
So I decided to record my install of Punch-Out to compare.

Sorry the quality is god awful but you get the point.
That second video is mind numbing. How can anyone defend that, it's terrible.
Will depend on the game and still require a sizable part of the game to be downloaded before it can actually boot up.
Theyre adding miiverse and gamepad supportWhy is Punch Out! 36 MB in the first place is it also installing an emulator? HD Version? 30 more hours of content? Why is it that big for an NES game?
That's pretty good. What kind of device are you installing it to? Just the internal memory?
And considering it's not a hardware based issue WiiU can do it too. If a dev decides to implement it.
Yes. Sony already announced the feature. And it was rumored to be part of the next Xbox before Sony announced it. They're not the first to do it. Blizzard has been doing it for years.
I'm amazed by the size of the VC games. The original rom is 130ko, how the fuck does this game manages to be 30+Mo big on Wii U?
The thing that strikes me most about the Wii U's slow OS is that it has to load the options menu for around 5 seconds. That's something that would have been acceptable maybe 10 years ago.
Miiverse loading being almost completely dependant on Nintendo's servers, means I've used it FAR less than I initially did at launch thanks to more load and longer loading.
Honestly, service wise, the system is a complete abomination with zero redeemable qualities at the moment. I also hate that the main interface to control is located on the touch display while the alternate view is on the TV.
I'd rather be able to navigate the channels via buttons and d-pad, and have wara wara plaza controlled via touch.

downloading and installing. Seems something is wrong with the OPs connection.

What are you trying to say?
That's terrible.
What are you trying to say? I'm not sure what the connection would have to do with the install process.
Your install was faster, but that could vary from game to game.
I'm more concerned that the download was as slow as it was. What connection are you on?
Ever tried installing something on the PS3 while downloading something else? Yeah, they all have their problems, people.
The speed of the OS never bothered me at all, I dont even think its bad to be honest, now starting Lego City, thats another thing.
I am afraid to hook up my Wii U and play CoD because of the system updates and software updates. Playing my Wii U is fun but waiting for it to DL updates is worst than dial up. I'm dead ass serious this shit is terrible. Nintendo gimmie me monies back.
That... um... uh... Er...
...HOW!? The Wii didn't have this issue. The 3DS didn't have this issue. So how on earth does the Wii U, a much more powerful console than both of those, have 30 second load times just for the freaking options menu?
The 3DS was like a preview. I mean, they fixed most of it with updates, but the 3DS is still painfully slow when trying to boot back to the Home menu from a DS game. It's quicker to turn the system off and on again to get there. =\
Yeah I know just wondered why its so annoyingly slow. when I first got it I thought it was because everyone was downloading the updates but its the same every time for me at least. Hopefully in April the speed will pick up.they download in the background.you dont have to wait.
I just treat it like I do my PS3.
I leave to go make a sandwich while the games install.
