I can't believe you people have enough stuff on your systems to necessitate folders. I picked up my Wii U for the first time in about a month the other day and had to remove a layer of dust. But hey, I'm glad they're trying to make their system better. Maybe in 10 years they'll have a unified account system and an interface that doesn't take 15-20 seconds to get into and out of system settings.

Take this bullshit to Reddit, junior...

 

[Niosai]

Everybody's excited for folders and I am too. But that download management thing seems like it could be useful. Especially in getting rid of that "download complete" notification every time I use the gamepad.

 

[El Sabroso]

one less step to have themes, 3DS will get them, Wii U should get them

 

[Super Crash]

3DS has folders

Yes, but with the 3DS, there's no color option, and it only shows first letter on the folder.

 

[anastazius]

Post update, I keep getting a "Can't connect to the server - Error 102-2932" message. Anyone else?

I kept getting connection errors until I checked for new system updates in the System Settings. UK here. It still won't let me read and agree the new Network Agreement though even though I've installed the update. The folders are nice, so thats good.

 

[disap.ed]

Improvements to system stability and usability

Finally!!! Waited for this.

Can I put create folder in a folder? Or is that too dangerous?

Nope, not possible.

I guess not stable enough yet for this.

 

[sevenchaos]

Everything's a bit snappier now, right? It's not just me, right?

 

[NeoRausch]

THIS IS FOR THE ORGANIZED!

 

[MarkusRJR]

Installed the update, set up folders, started the YouTube app and the console hard locked during the initial loading splash screen.

Dat stability.

To be fair, the youtube app has always been a mess...

Contrary to bullshit internet posts, not playing your consoles does not let dust settle faster.

Clean your goddamn house.

The next update will fix that.

 

[chaobreaker]

Oh boy, now I have all these folders to organize my large collection of digital Wii-U games.

Spoiler

I'm only half joking as I have a dozen VC games in the month since I got my Wii-U.

 

[Orniletter]

Hahaha..what!!?? Seven is paltry. You don't think that many people on an enthusiast forum like GAF would have far more than a mere SEVEN games after TWO YEARS?

Seriously. I have 3 full "pages" for VC titles alone.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

I also love that the eShop now shows from what game the music is playing. This is not related to the FW itself but I still love these small details.

 

[ipukespiders]

Has the disc icon always been moveable?

 

[wilflare]

Really? Really?

using that purple for the SNES :/

Personally I went with blue for GBA, because that was the color of the logo.

hmm good idea. hmm we need moar colors
currently using that blue for WiiU Retail titles

 

[Brianimaniac]

Nice. Right after I got an HDD, they did a sale on a bunch of games and then added folders. Good timing.

 

[Katsuragi]

As someone who owns quite a few Virtual Console games, I'm really happy that Nintendo finally brought folders to the Wii U home menu.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

First megaton in a good while.

 

[Gattuso]

finally, a nicer looking menu without a bunch of pages to scroll through.

 

[Cuphead]

Now just add some more VC games for me to put in these folders!

haha amen to that

To be fair, the youtube app has always been a mess...

yep, use the browser it's much better.

 

[HolyCheck]

Something else,

When you press the home button and go to the new home screen, the "you have new data downloaded" pop up now shows at the bottom of the screen.

I receive the pop up nearly everytime as I have pikmin dlc there i've never opened. And I press the home button when I want to see the time or date or check my controllers battery! And usually the pop up blocks it for a few seconds.

 

[dc89]

FOLDERSSSSSSS

 

[Sagitario]

This might be a placebo effect, but everything feels a bit faster. Home menu, navigation, opening and closing apps, etc.
Opening Miiverse only took like 3 seconds (that was a first!).

 

[MarkusRJR]

To be fair, the youtube app has always been a mess...

It didn't even reach the app though, just the initial loading app screen that every game/app has. If you told me I'd be having the most hard locks/crashes on a Nintendo console 10 years ago I'd have laughed.

Loving the folders though. Everything finally organized. Much needed functionality.

 

[jimi_dini]

*creates folder for n64 virtual console games*

*folder stays empty forever*

 

[wagamer]

I guess it's time for this again:

The chalkboard can be scrapped, folders saved the Wii U!

 

[Rvaisse]

Has the disc icon always been moveable?

Yes as far as i remember !

 

[Turrican3]

As someone who owns quite a few Virtual Console games, I'm really happy that Nintendo finally brought folders to the Wii U home menu. You can change their color, too!

Looks very nice and tidy, and color is definitely a welcomed addition.

 

[Benzychenz]

Was hoping the eShop changes was going to say you can buy stuff without having the storage space available.

Monster Hunter code from Mario Kart expires at midnight but my Y cable won't arrive until tomorrow so I can't redeem the code


Edit: Just checked my mail and the cable arrived a day earlier than it said it would <3

Updating now and then redeeming my code

 

[Clefargle]

Downloading now

Spoiler

DOWNLOADING NOW

 

[nibblemonkey]

I do wonder why Nintendo took so long to give the Wii U folders when the 3DS has had them for ages. I guess it might of only just become stable enough to handle them.

 

[Aostia]

Best folders evah!

 

[Floridian]

Glad I kept my Wii U. The return of the king indeed.

Just delete the game(s) and redeem the code, you can still redownload them later and as long as you dont delete the save file, they should have all the save data aswell

Now that would be my dream come true!
But I don't want to derail this thread so... yeah... FOLDERS whoohoo!!!!!

System settings? You mean that thing that people use maybe once a year or thereabouts

Ditto here, must be having issues. Cant get on Miiverse, eshop or play online either.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

It's kind of odd how the new Home menu completely blocks your view of the game.

I wonder why they changed that.

 

[Clefargle]

Loving my new backlog folder, I made it red

 

[Stulaw]

The Folders are cool, but the next thing on the list for me is background themes, if the New 3DS can have them, I don't see why the Wii u can't.

 

[Super Crash]

using that purple for the SNES :/

hmm good idea. hmm we need moar colors

currently using that blue for WiiU Retail titles

Personally, I put the Wii U retail games under eShop (Orange), along with games like NES Remix.

 

[LoveCake]

Hmmm i seem to be the only WiiU owner with no need for folders :/

 

[Super Crash]

For the record, this is my setup:

eShop (Orange), NES (Red), SNES (Purple), GBA (Blue), Apps (Yellow), N64 (Green), DS (Black), Other (Pink).

I suspect last 3 folders will remain empty for quite some time, but I figured I may as well make them now.

 

[ec0ec0]

loved this thread ... i would love to have folders too ;_;

 

[Jackano]

Just to repost my position: Folders should have been here day one.

But now we can post dashboard screenshots and discuss every variations of ways to organize your games/apps/demos/VC and folder colors

 

[RagnaXBL]

errors, errors all day

 

[Piccoro]

Why are you guys making a folder for N64 games?

Is there something I should know about?...
