Gaming site NintendoEverything has linked to a story on Reddit apparently confirming that
the big Wii U System Update can be run in the background while you continue to use the system.

Here's the direct quote from the original Reddit article:

“Just a heads up for people who want to play their new console immediately and still update it.
Last night, I set mine up and hit “cancel” at the first mention of the update. We played Nintendoland for a while and then I went to update it. To my surprise, it skipped downloading and simply started installing it. It took less than 15 minutes.”

In the comments below this, other new Wii U users appear to confirm this as they set up
their Wii U's opting to skip downloading the update themselves, only to have it download/
install in the background.

- If true, this is great news for future Wii U owners.
