How big is the update?


882 MB.


Are you talking about the day one update?  It was 5 freaking gigs, more than half of the basic Wii U's storage.

No, it's 882 MB.  You've seen enough of my posts to know I wouldn't give such a specific number unless I had a reason to say it.

Why not ask Richard Leadbetter how big he thinks it is?


I can only go by what I see.  Every news story I've seen about it has said 4.7 - 5 gigs, you're the only person that has said 882.  I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying I'm not sure if you're right.

 

"Eurogamer tech expert Rich Leadbetter informs us that the update is 1GB, not 5GB as was originally reported."

"Wii U's first system software update weighs in at around 1GB"
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/df-hardware-nintendo-wii-u-review_7

And while Richard rounds the total to about 1 GB in the articles above, I can state that it's 882 MB specifically.

That's much better, thank you.
