Wow, now the thing is an expensive paperweight!
And he only had it for what, like a few hours maybe?

I don't get it. If ps3 has a fail safe why cant the wii u have one? Also does the WiiU support firmware off usb?
nobody knows if there is or isnt one yet. we are all just laughing at the muppet who ruined his toy and cried to the internet about it. as for the firmware off usb, that doesn't sound like the nintendo I know, if anything they would rather do updates for the console on games discs than allow you to do it via usb.
Weird, I thought I was having troubles or something because nothing was downloading. I tried shutting it off and holding in buttons but nothing was working. This guy must have completely unplugged his WiiU.
No wonder that fucking update took so god damn long. 5GB? Thanks for raping my bandwidth use Nintendo!
For all you people calling the guy a dumbarse and he deserves what he has coming to him then, yea, while it's not the smartest thing to do, and theoretically you shouldn't turn your console off during an update, the console still should be built to generally survive the process.
I'm sure you all live in places where power is relatively stable, but even then you can never be guaranteed you wont have a power outage, or something trip your circuit breaker while an update is happening. And this sounds like a pretty big update, so I'm guessing it takes a while to apply.

If people find an exploit and Nintendo make an update to stop that exploit, what's not to say that people will just us that feature then?
Oh, first recorded moron with a self made Wii u brick.
More will follow, I'm sure. Nothing to see here.

Sadly , His sense is all to common
G.I. JOE...and knowing is half the battle!
Who would've thought, it figures
I made this for you guys so you would understand
Use the The Schwartz
I had no problem waiting but the Wii U was not precisely clear on its update and I could see the uninitiated totally not understanding. I imagine Nintendo will Just repair it inhouse and ship it back. It is not hard for them to flash the system even " bricked"; they have the equipment and access.. we do not.
What about the 5GB update, won't that eat up just about all the internal memory of the basic edition Wii U 8GB, not leaving very much memory for other stuff like downloads, game saves, game updates, and worst of all, mandatory system updates.

it was already 5GB due to its the allocated space for it
its not using all of it currently but it saves to space for later
the idea is on the basic the 3GB left is for saves
and you plug in up to a 2TB drive for downloaded games
I hope that Wii U games aren't like that for PS3, I know I've installed a lot of stuff to my internal HDD just from game discs alone installing game data, and my 360 internal 4GB is nearly used up too. Internal memory is cheap anymore, there is no reason there isn't at least 64GB or 128GB internal. Two years ago I paid $38 for a brand spanking new 320GB usb hdd. For Nintendo to use up more than half the internal memory of a Wii U for a system update is not good, what are future updates going to be like?

That sounds about right, just because if there had not been a day 1 update, and people had downloaded stuff into the internal storage to fill it up, then any updates could not be done without deleting some content. Basically, the system reserves a set amount, and reuses that allocated storage for all system updates, never to be used for anything else but the system.
5 Gigabytes? What the hell is in that firmware update that it takes ten times the TOTAL storage of the wii?
This is totally ripping off everyone with a basic wiiu. Either all the other firmware updates will be small patches that barely exceed a couple megabytes, which means that nintendo deliberately stripped the firmware to make it look like the storage of the things were higher than they were (ouch).
...or this next-gen thing means that all the firmware updates will be a sort of bloatware, which means that the basic version will be pretty useless in a couple months (ouch again).

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time. -
