I tried to tell some people who think they'll go download online on the wii u.

Not with nintendo's online experiance,I don't think anyone will ever finish the 17gb download for TekkenTag, let alone have it transfer via usb2 to an external harddrive! I have my doubts.

 

[Foffy]

Sanic! <3

 

[Bgamer90]

This guy's connection is at 35 Mbps down.

This update is so slow. Man; this is bad lol.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Nice, he puts up a speed test with ping time and throughput. Nintendo's servers are just slow as poop, apparently.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Laughing at somebody who said something stupid = ruffled feathers.

Good stuff.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

The update is really slow. He gained a 100 viewers while they all stare at the update progress bar. Imagine tomorrow when everyone is trying to get the update. =/

 

[MThanded]

Are people really suprised the update is slow? Wait until tommorow.

 

[brochiller]

Stream would be infinitely better if it had Mario hitting blocks.

 

[Tagg9]

Fuck, I think I saw it move.

 

[Tattooth]

This guy's connection is at 35 Mbps.

This update is so slow. Man; this is bad lol.

Yeah, that spike in the graph when he did the test is crazy.

 

[grimshawish]

Now we know why Nintendo download music is always the best. Now we know.

 

[The Elite]

Are people really suprised the update is slow? Wait until tommorow.

I'm surprised it's slow before launch. Yeah.

They might want to put more servers on this.

 

[Linkhero1]

Maybe the update is just too big for one man to handle.

 

[Wes]

No % number either.

This is going to be infuriating.

The streamer needs to glue or selotape a ruler to his tv.

 

[Superblatt]

So exciting. I need to go get some makers mark. BRB.

 

[darkressurection]

Are people really suprised the update is slow? Wait until tommorow.

Yeah, I wouldn't start worrying about it until we hear people getting home at midnight and hitting the servers. If Nintendo isn't ready by that time, then yeah shit's gonna be fucking SLOOOOW.

Edit: Ahh, I see you meant the opposite. Still I think they might not have all their update servers online, but hey I guess no matter what we it will be a wait to see situation

 

[EloquentM]

update is slow = nintendo's fault?

could it possibly be that the update is over a GB since it does contain major changes to the OS?

 

[Bgamer90]

Are people really suprised the update is slow? Wait until tommorow.

I would expect it to be even slower tomorrow if it's like this now.

 

[MThanded]

I'm surprised it's slow before launch. Yeah.

They might want to put more servers on this.

NVM this is worse than I expected.

I would expect it to be even slower tomorrow if it's like this now.

thats what i was saying. I now realize that can be read in 2 ways.

 

[Twinduct]

Entertaining Stream.
Update is taking long :/

 

[Elfforkusu]

I'm surprised it's slow before launch. Yeah.

They might want to put more servers on this.

The pikmin are busy enough as is, and you want them to put more on the case? Monster.

 

[pargonta]

actually, we can critique this already can't we? no percent or time remaining.

system firmware probably has to be not in the background, but if all downloads don't have percents and numbers, that's a little sad.

 

[Tagg9]

Looks like it's the same for everyone. This is Rich at IGN after 5 minutes:

 

[EatChildren]

At this rate Bayonetta 2 will be an eStore launch title.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

What game is the 'Hardcore "Gameplay"' .gif from?

 

[SirIgbyCeaser]

My opinion of real journalists is not particularly high and they're way below real journalists in my book. I could write in detail why they might be doing this and/or why my opinion of them is so low, but I'd rather look at the download bar, it'd be less of a waste of time.



Are you willing to bet someone somewhere will finish the 17gb download for TTT2 ?

someone in the same room as the servers maybe, but even than, I never got this figured out. Do you download to the onboard flash ? Or do you download directly to the USB harddrive? Because it sounds like people will have to be cleaning out their fridges everytime they download anything.

 

[Drago]

What game is the 'Hardcore "Gameplay"' .gif from?

ZombiU, lol

 

[Bgamer90]

1 GB download on a 35 mbps connection shouldn't take this long.

My connection is 20 mbps and 1GB downloads usually take about 30 minutes.

 

[The Elite]

Maybe not all the servers were on when he started the download. Maybe if he restarts it will go fast because he will connect to all the servers.

Servers.

/idontknowcomputers.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

ZombiU, lol

Oh, haha, okay. =P

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Fuck, I think I saw it move.

Fuck! New thread stat!

How long has he been downloading it for?

another thing to consider is even big 3ds updates don't take this long

 

[frankie_baby]

Didn't Nintendo even say you needed like 4 gigabytes for the update?

 

[EvilMario]

So how many Wii Us will this update brick?

 

[MThanded]

 

[prag16]

Well, damn. Can you play a game while the download is taking place in the background? If not it looks like I"ll be in for a long morning tomorrow after I fire up my Wii U.

 

[Bgamer90]

thats what i was saying. I now realize that can be read in 2 ways.

Oh okay. I took it the other way.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Unboxing vids. Progress bars. This isn't how I imagined life in my thirties.

lol You're not alone my friend. I'm sick as a dog right now and the only reason I'm not going to sleep soon so I can rest and recover is because I HAVE to go to best buy at midnight to pick up a console I probably won't even touch until tomorrow night. What the fuck happened to my life.

 

[Tattooth]

About 30 minutes.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Depends on how many impatient kids rip out the power cord or something. =P

 

[PorygonVandal]

From what game is the "hardcore gameplay" gif?

In the stream....

 

[Foffy]

This should be the update theme. 2fast.

 

[Poyunch]

They said it would come Day 1. It might take until Midnight PST. Nintendo planning ahead of time. Smart.

 

[Bgamer90]

How long has he been downloading it for?

I think it has been close to 30 minutes now.

 

[awm8604]

It's still Nintendo's fault for needing to push major features of the system through a software update on Day 1.

I'm picking up the system at midnight. Hopefully it'll be updated by the time I wake up tomorrow.

 

[Baconsammy]

I was worried that the Wii U would distract me from the NFL tomorrow. Guess not. I'll just set the download and then watch a few games.

 

[Razorskin]

Time to crack into that sixpack and watch some dude stream a progress bar.

I might need a new hobby.

Right there with you.

 

[The Elite]

My girlfriend has been in Calgary for the week. Thank god she isn't here to see me watching this.

Can you watch the progress bar from your Wii-Tablet while you watch the game? =P
