It's the apocalypse! My family and I were playing Nintendoland when the Wii U froze. Then, it happened again and again. I played some Call of Duty and all was well with the hardware. Then, we went back to Nintendoland and it crashed again. One quick look at the Miivese and I found out that it was happening to everybody. Now, what do we do!?

Nintendo Network load seems to make Wii U console slow especially effecting things that use MiiVerse. For me the Wii U crashed 1st time on day of release while exiting game (which does some MiiVerse / activity logging) and then again yesterday a bunch of times while either starting or closing game (including Amazon, YouTube, Nintendo Land, and Trine 2). This last night for a period of 2-3 hours. After that it was back to normal.
My take-away is that if the Wii U Menu etc start to get slow, then best stay out of MiiVerse heavy stuff like Nintendo Lands and avoid using MiiVerse while playing game as well. This leaves the game launch / exit as areas of concern in which case could always just not play the Wii U (disable network?) until it becomes stable again.
