Update: Austin is here to add that he just talked to someone on Miiverse who said that their ZombiUsave was deleted after an update. The start of a pattern…? I hope not!

Nintendo Everything reader Andy Holland tells us that all of his New Super Mario Bros. U save data was wiped following an update ran by the game today.

Andy says two updates have been automatically applied for him thus far. The first did not cause any issues. The second one, however, did.

Andy has since contacted Nintendo. We’ll let you know about any major developments about the situation.

It’s possible that this is an isolated incident. Just to be safe though, you may want to back up your save data.

I really hope they sort that thing out before publicly releasing it (unless it already has) granted i dont have either games yet (just stuck with NintendoLand) but i know both games are a huge hit and a lot of people have them it would suck to have all your data deleted when you have gone through the game a lot.

What the? Surely Nintendo isn't planning to release this to the public with a major problem such as this?

Well this is kind of frightening, hopefully this issue is solved. I wonder how Nintendo will handle things to the people who lost their save data, I really hope the answer is not " Oh well, start back from the beginning". I'm a little paranoid about this since I just 100% the game, but the only update I've downloaded was one that started automatically for the system ( Presuming the one for Amazon, Hulu and YouTube), a game update would only occur if you tried to start the game right? But hopefully this just stays as it as, a rumor and nothing else.

If this rumor turns out to be true, then I hope the update won't be mandatory.

If it is mandatory, then I guess I won't be playing NSMBU until it gets fixed.

What do the patches actually do to the game? Can't imagine a Mario game needing patched

How do you download the update? My Wii U apparently hasn't noticed any updates... At all. For any of my games... So I'm confused.

That's what I'm wondering too. The only update I've noticed was an update that failed a few days ago ( due to my slow internet, guessing this update was to make the video apps like YouTube work). Do updates for games automatically download regardless of what game or app you're playing, or do they just download while you're playing the game that has the update? The only updates I remember were the day one update, an update while launching NSMBU for the first time, an update when launching Sonic Racing for the first time, and some strange system update that downloaded automatically ( the one for Amazon, Hulu and YouTube?).

You do understand that pretty much every single piece of technology that comes out always has issues on launch? It's just the nature of new tech and being able work out the kinks on the crowd that adopts it first.

The OS Slowness fix update is for the Wii U itself, not the NSMBU game. I'm just worried that the game downloads the update automatically, especially if it downloads at any time.

Uh-oh, this could be bad..

Normal sized text.

Darkcloud1983's zombiu save was wiped after an update too.
He says he started playing letting the game update run while he played, when he was done ti said the update was done and applied, then his save was gone.
p. sure he's not lying.
Is weird. Probably saves mixed in the same space as the update is downloaded/installed to, thus over-writing it.
They might be able to get an update out that separates them more securely.
But I'm just taking a wild stab in the dark, could be something they do on purpose or some reason completely differently.
