Kirby and the Rainbow curse! (dunno I love that game)

Yoshi's Woolly World; played some of it, but never had enough motivation to finish it.
There's also Super Smash Bros. 4, if you want to experience SSB history. Nintendo Land's a decent party game; too bad it uses dysfunctional Wii motion controls...

I was wondering why me Wii U's power LED was flickering orange.
It's not the update :c

Over the 10h that I played on me Wii U I never figured out what it is.
Also to lazy to do anything about it since I never touch the thing tbf.

I honestly wonder why I still have it connected to the power and me telly.

Chances are that they're just removing features, or adding triggers to do so, ahead of the time when certain licenses expire. The system is EOL, no new software is coming out and the user base is dead, I can't imagine one good reason to actively work on "improving system stability".

Firmware 5.5.5 doesn't fix anything related to homebrew. However, it does appear that some of N's SSL verification code was changed. (SSL allows a device to makes secure + verified connections to remote servers. It's what powers the "padlock" icon in your browser.)

Stability what? Seriously Nintendo?

Now I can't go online and use the internet browser anymore. Dammit!

How long for CFW update?

Imagine digging up a coffin and retrieve the skeleton so you can fixed the broken bones. That's what Nintendo is doing here.

Minus 1 day. Apparently it didn't patch anything. It just works.

I don't know if this has to do with the update or not, but since I updated the Netflix app it hasn't stopped or crashed my Wii U anymore.

I was able to watch an entire season in 1080p without any problem either, before that the Wii U always stopped in the middle of the epi and the control took a long time to respond again.

i had to look at the post date 2 times to see if this was OLD news LOL :rofl2:

You can use Netflix until June 2021. Support for 3ds and Wii U stops in June.

Better wait and see if everything still works, scene-wise.

It does work. @alexander1970 tested it along with several others.

I re-played Twilight Princess HD and finished a few days ago... I think I missed out without this update

Red blinking LED = vent obstruction or other cooling-related issue, at least most commonly. Disconnecting the power supply and a good dusting normally solves this, it's not a major problem. Alternatively it could be a PSU fault (check readings on the output) or a loose HDMI connection (check port to see if it's loose, but usually it's a kink in the cable or a worn out plug). The least likely problem you might have is a motherboard issue, probably somewhere down the power distribution line, but the console uses so little power that it doesn't happen that often and usually you can scratch that off the list early on.

Orange blinking LED.
Wii U itself is perfectly fine.
