Lan	2. Posted: Wed 5th Dec 2012 07:23 GMT Pretty sure you can turn it off or unplug it during the download, but not during the update. But I wouldn't advise doing it. Edited on Wed 5th December, 2012 @ 07:24 by Lan

Erica_Hartmann	7. Posted: Wed 5th Dec 2012 08:21 GMT I think it was the Wii that could do updates while "off" because it was really in Standby Mode, same could be said about the 3DS and its Sleep Mode, but the Wii U doesn't have either, only on or off.

3dbrains	11. Posted: Fri 7th Dec 2012 09:06 GMT NO, but you can choose for the WiiU to power off as soon as the download/update is complete. Just go to the manage downloads bit in the home menu. Its the big button at the bottom.
