If the teams hacking the wii u are updating their wii u's to the launch day update, then I'll be more inclined to update

 

Updated. I don't see the reason in finding exploits or anything any more. Yeah sure there are some cool homebrews on consoles, but eh. With the progress of hacking the 3DS so far (or lack of), I wouldn't be surprised if the WiiU doesn't get hacked at all

 

If you have the cash to keep a Wii U or 2 in storage untouched for quite some time while you have one to play with then that is the best way. But if you are concerned about updating you only wii u while holding out on playing certain games or features and making yourself suffer, then it is not worth it.

There are PLENTY of people that are stock piling on the Wii U for them to teardown to sell parts and for future sale. An exploitable will always be available if an exploit is found.

 

I agree. It's silly to not update in hopes of a future exploit. Plus, I thought that the wiiu updated automatically.

 

Not if your Wii U is on 1.0.2

 

I had to update to 2.0.0 to be able to get into Wii Mode

 

Deadly, what is the first part of the serial number of the Wii U you dumped? Curious as to how it compares to the vWii, which claims IW70040xxxx in setting.txt

I'm also now curious as to why only some wii U's seem to need an update to use the wii half. Early units made before the vWii code was ready?
