I've got a few burning questions for you new Wii U owners. Sorry if any of them have already been answered; this thread is massive.
1. Can just a certain partition on an external drive be used, or does the entirety have to be formatted?
2. Can Wii homebrew be used in Wii mode? Is homebrew kept from a Wii system transfer?
3. Can users sign into an existing account on another system and download content linked to that account on that system, keep any stats tracked on that account, etc.?
4. Can non-motionplus equipped Wii Remotes be used in any Wii U games, especially New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendoland?
5. What, if anything, does the Gamepad display when it loses signal from the console?
6. Is there any sort of cross-game chat solution?
7. Can system updates be downloaded in the background?
8. What are download speeds for eShop games like? Are they throttled at a certain speed?
9. Is there a screenshot function?
10. Can the Gamepad be turned off independently of the console?
Thanks in advance.
