It´s nintendo´s way of trolling us.

The U in Wii U stand for update, this console is not for games its for people that love updates.

Is the automatic shutdown activated by default ? If so when does it shut down 

an earlier article said it was an hour and it is default, but I think this guy literally just unplugged his Wii U during a update so it might not even apply.


The system automatically disables the auto shut off while it is installing the update.



Stop hating and start playing.

The games are being update to connect a patch for online.  I had one for Nintendoland and Black Ops, but both were fast downloads.  No, almost every game that I've bought for my PS3 also needs updates before the first play and those have taken as long as a hour.

Why the fuck did Nintendo do that.. -_-

they could have had these systems ready to go out of the box but noooo

They rather have you sit through the update that could have been pre installed before hand..

Didn't something similar happen with the 3ds? there was a day 1 install to add something that should have already been on the system? I can't really remember at the moment

Agreed, and the same goes for XBox 360.  Every time I pop a new game, or one that I haven't played in a while, it has to update first.  Funny that there are people who want to pretend that this is something new to consoles or a unique annoyance to Wii U.
