Ya know... If I didn't have to buy gas, then I could afford to buy internet, but then I couldn't get to work, so I wouldn't be able to afford anything.
Though I fail to see your logic, as internet is not a prerequisite for owning a WiiU, nor is it a fair assumption to think that if someone has a WiiU that they must already have internet.
Then how can you connect to this website?[RANT] *sigh* I grow tired of people criticizing and nitpicking how I buy a WiiU when I don't have the internet, because I can't afford another monthly bill right now. The WiiU's primary function is to play disc based games, btw, the internet just helps with the extra shit. And to those who dare mock me I have this to say. Look, A$$hole, it's christmas and I've decided to buy something nice for the family. I posted this topic in hopes of getting some useful information, and I'd like to thank those who decided to provide helpful suggestions and leave their snarky attitudes out of it, instead of giving me shit. (Yes I have thought about how to power my WiiU in McDonalds, it's the same damn way I've been powering my laptop all this time. And I can just put the WiiU in the seat next to me and throw my jacket over it and no one would be the wiser)[/RANT]
To all those who offered friendly advice, I wish you a happy holiday. Now if a friendly passing mod would kindly lock this topic.
I go to public places frequently or use my dads phone to use the internet....this feels like its trying to go a negative route by way of some argumentative individuals...
This.The update just adds online features. Since you don't have internet, there's no point. Just wait until a game requires it and it will update from the disc.
Yeeeeaaahhh.....I'm pretty sure that they're not gonna include a 5GB update on a game disc.Wait for a game with the update on the disc.
how long does it take to flash a nand chip? Yeah thats why theres a day 1 update.Yeeeeaaahhh.....I'm pretty sure that they're not gonna include a 5GB update on a game disc.
Anyways Drakorex, I'm with Arm73 on this one. Try to get to a friend or family members house who has an active internet connection and get the thing updated. I do think the whole day 1 update is crap and Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves for not getting everything in order before launch.
