I noticed a pretty useful improvement already.

 

The USB HDD that I was going to use with my Wii U seems to be faulty as the Wii U randomly complains that it has been removed.  Before the update when this happened I could hold the power button down on the Wii U until the cows came home, it just refused to shut off by any means other than pulling the plug.

 

I just had that exact issue happen just now "USB storage has been removed", crap, no it hasn't the HDD is still plugged in and spinning away merrily.  Oh well, I will just try holding the power button down on the Wii U, MAYBE they fixed it.  Blip, red light, turned off.  Holy crap, Nintendo actually made the Wii U do what every other devices on the planet does, a forced shutdown by holding the power button.  About bloody time. ;)

System update is amazing, it's so much faster, like lightning, now it can do some of the stuff the PS4 can like downloading updates and patches in the background and while the console is turned off, all we need now is the Summer Update to improve game loading times and video uploads for Miiverse! Well done Nintendo, well done.

Just installed the update but now I have no TV picture, gamepad is working ok, update downloaded and installed without any problems.

 

I've tried different cables/port on the TV, still nothing, very odd. It was working fine before the update.

Uploading mine know, anyone know if it informs you onscreen of in coming messages so you don't have to check on miiverse? I heard they were gonna do that.

Does your hdd make a click/beep noise when it says it was removed?

If so, it's a power issue.

 

Uploading mine know, anyone know if it informs you onscreen of in coming messages so you don't have to check on miiverse? I heard they were gonna do that.

Miiverse has always had a green outline shizzle around the miiverse icon when there's something happening on there.

Haven't updated yet, but will by the end of the day. These faster load times sound amazing.


Some people always have a cellphone on them. I'm so awesome I always have a 3DS.

Not automatically, you can go to settings, and under TV settings you can set screen size!

Make sure you set screen size in settings once the update completes

I hope I update fine with no problems tonight, has anyone had to unplug the console when they get error messages?

I guess I was lucky... I didn't get any error messages... My gamepad's screen did cut out a couple times, though.
