Topic: wiiu update 3.0.1 avalible...

System update now available...download now....

just finished updating the wii u. judging by the speedyness of the download and update, it's probably minor improvements.

System stability ....

Its on nintendos web sight for full detals

Awww, no Zen Pinball 2 leaderboard fix still.

that has nothing to do with Nintendo

How much did Nintendo boost the clock speed with this update?

It's just system improvement. I hope the freezes are gone for good!

my system froze during the update... after giving it two hours and no display on the gamepad i watched it doing it's thing as the WiFi access light quit blinking and hope of it sorting itself out

I caved in hoping I didn't have a shiny paperweight, I forced a power down by holding the power button in thinking how do I explain this one to Nintendo let alone getting my content back that I purchased on the system.

thankfully, it booted right back up and the update never applied. Tried again and it was done in less than a minute. I'm guessing it froze up on me as I was using my pro controller with AC3 and the gamepad display turned off via the control menu.

I was worried that I had a awesome looking brick, but it lives on!

nah i honestly think the bricking was abit of a myth and all though it obviously did happen. its not that easy to brick it mines froze twice during updates and still been okay.

they really do need to do something tho my wii u seems to freeze more than anything all tho it seems to be darksiders 2 or updates where the freezes happen for me.

Bricking isn't a myth, it just only has a chance of happening if an update is changing a file that the WiiU needs to even function. And that sort of stuff is very rarely updated.

Nintendo should include a feature in a future update that allows users to restore their Wii U's OS from the internet if the OS on the console is corrupt. Update interruptions can happen in power outages and this simple feature will be good for us because we would not need to send our systems to Nintendo for OS restoration and it is good for Nintendo because they will not have to deal with us.

One problem though is that if the OS is messed up, there is no back up, so you really can't connect to the internet.

And Nintendo deals with people every day. I wouldn't really use that last part as some sort of threat.

It's now faster than the world's fastest supercomputer.

My NFS hard locked last night after doing the update earlier this week.
