First Wii U brick reported: Do not shutdown during firmware update
The Wii U will brick if you shut it down during an ongoing firmware update.
Ben Fritz, Film business reporter for Latimes, has bricked his Wii U without playing a single game. The reason? Shutting down the system during an update. The size of the update is something that’s not pretty either. It’s a known fact that many hardware manufacturers tell you not to turn any system off if it’s updating, but there’s always a backup mechanism in place if things go wrong, for example, the PS3 will retry the update as soon as the console starts. “Warning: don’t unplug your Wii U during the 2 hour plus software update or the console stops working,” he tweeted. The Wii U firmware update is 5 GB in size and adds the Nintendo Network to the console. Weird way to install a required service, but hey, it’s Nintendo.
Here’s what Fritz had to say:
That should be really frustrating, but at least now he can check out how Nintendo customer support is like. |

You have to know that type of person who UNPLUGS their console while it is update during a "tryout party" is the same type of person who corrupts their game save files by hitting the power button while their game is saving. Warnings are there for a reason. We are 20 years out from 1985, there is no excuse for being ignorant of the dangers of shutting off a console while it (or a game for that matter) is updating/saving.
