Picked up the WInd Waker bundle today and am now downloading the game. Based on past experiences, would you guys say just letting it download normally is best, or would it be faster if I turned the system off and let it download in sleep mode? I'm looking for whichever will be faster.
New Wii U owner here. One Question

Uhm...I honestly couldn't say for sure. Personally, I would just let it download normally.
The post above was certified to be simply smashing by the Wii U Forum Staff.

Neither is faster, but if you leave it on, you can find out when it will be done.
Well, I've finally found my Starfox, and I love it.

The quickest method is to use a USB stick or USB HDD, downloading to the internal storage at least halves the download speed in my experience.
Otherwise I would leave it on, I don't trust sleep mode.

Flash storage always has horrible write speeds.

I know one person getting the Wind Waker bundle, and me and my cousin already have one.
Therefore, only 8 people own a Wii U.
Bring the noise.

Is Nintendo still doomed then?

They didn't show a picture of them holding their receipt with photo id.I think it`s even more. I have been reading some posts here and there and a good amount of them showed that they bought the bundle!
Just open the download manager and watch it progress while on the pc or something.
Console download speeds are pretty rainbow though.

Good to hear. I was starting to get worried for a second there, although 8 seems to be a little inflated.
