@PinkSpider I'm in same boat. I have Comcast with speeds of 60 Mb. I do some editing for work and can download 4Gb files in about 10-20 minutes. So mind you I only use simple math here but I got Lego undercover thinking that at 5:15pm when I got home I would theoretically have it by 745pm if I went conservative with 30 minutes for every 4gigs. I didn't get it downloaded and installed until 2 in the morning 9 hours, and no it wasn't my Internet or it wasn't my Internet maybe at that time as I was watching Hulu on my Samsung tv with highest HD which requires great dl speeds.
This is just one example though, any updates, Netflix, trines, that zombiu patch, anything from the Wii u is super slow to download. I guess I should be asking if its like BitTorrent and if I should be opening some ports or something.... He'll I've lived with it because online play itself is fine, Cod/Monster Hunter but geesh if only I could leave work early to start some downloads I guess it would be fine lol

While I didn't expect to get future DLC and yes it's "big con" for something you already pay $60 for , I did have some hope that I could sign in to WB ID and get skins and maps that I have unlocked in iOS game... I mean I can sign in to uPlay for ACIII and ZOmbiU...
Seems like Nintendo said "Screw Origin EA, but yeah lets get together Ubi..."

By the way I am very much enjoying the game, must admit not too big of a fighter fan, last time I really played was in college back with MK3, but I really can't remember most of those games any way lol...

If a Network ID was something new than maybe being patient would make sense, but again it's not. They said they would eventually do it, what makes no sense is why eventually??
I bought 2 wii U's. One for my bedroom and a family one. So have been playing NintendoLand, New Super Mario U and Sega racing with family, great at this point patience is fine with me, these games (read saves) are not something I need but I also have Darksiders and ACIII which I started playing in my bedroom with another ID. Guess what that bricked trying to use Miiverse a week and a half ago, take another guess as to when I get my wii u back??
Darksiders was a digital DL, wouldn't it be great if I could redownload to family room so I could have played and still play today? ACIII I have retail but why make start all over again?

Yes patience is a virtue, I'm not some video game freak that has nothing else to do. I play on basketball league and have practice with other people, go to work, come home help kids with homework and all that jazz, but while I have been able to catch up on shows (Hulu/Netflix) it would have been nice to have my profile with saves move with me.

I am lucky to have a great job that affords me to have 2 wii U's but it's next to pointless when as stated above I really don't...

I'm not angry @ Nintendo so much as disappointed, they tend to look their way and that's great, miiverse (when it doesn't brick you wii lol), gamepad, great 1st party games, but but but, it just boggles the mind sometimes with other basics that they don't implement. Will they? SOme speculate yes, some no, tomorrow next week a month from now, never??
You know everyday I talk to people about my experience so far with Wii U, there's the great, then there's the "Well how do use Xbox, Steam, or whatever service you use now?" question and you know what many actually use it to play in different locations and different rooms, and I have to tell them then I wouldn't do it right now, that's a sale loss decision right there, for some....

I had just come from playing Dead Island (let's not get into reviews and such) with its faster pace mechanics, open world do anything style which I felt comfortable with.
Got Wii U and yeah I got ZombiU and BLPOPsII for Zombies as well. BLOPS is same old, I like Tranzit and all so no problems there. I can lose a weekend playing it with my kids who I got Wii U as well and it's fun with us screaming through the house about who was supposed to do what.

Admittingly with Zombi U, at first I felt a little put aback. Things were slowed down quite a bit especially with the melee cricket bat. At least from what I was just recently used with Dead Island. So yeah I wasn't too comfortable. And it being the 1st week with Wii U I was hopping from Mario U, Nintendoland, BLOPS, ACIII and Trine to give it much attention at 1st. Then by second week I sat down with my wife one night (with a couple of drinks) and actually sat to play for several hours. We kept trading the controller and at least 4 times we had that oh sh%t moment and let out a couple of screams lol. I got actually loved the mechanic of looking down at gamepad while game world kept going kept us on our toes and pretty nervous to boot. Hated when my wife would die then I had to run and kill myself for my bag with the rifle which I lost anyway ARRGHHHHH!!! The mechanics themselves are one of my favorites now. slower paced yes, obviously linear, but damn if my heart isn't always looking at my pack to see what to add to my ready list "1 molotov sure, candy bar, flare, oh damn only 8 bullets, guess its just the trusty cricket bat for several more rooms" lol its that feeling of damn I don't have what I need that makes it great to keep going.

As some have mentioned, I don't know if we just love fast paced, as much as that's what is given to us on a daily basis, but if you sit down for a while and just go with it you will be pleasantly surprised at how deep the experience can be.

ANd local multiplayer, my kids love it. Seriously very nice addition that keeps us coming back for more. COuld use a couple more different inventive modes but great way to kill a couple of hours trying to one up the game master or vice versa

My Wii u bricked last night
Got home played about an hour of ACIII then kids wanted to play some ZombiiU. So got back to Wii u menu ejected disc put in ZU and then saw mini verse flash as new notifications came in so instead of playing game like kids asked I wanted to see what was up in miiverse ( silly father liking these new social features lol) and bam froze up. Initially I figured hmm this is taking a while but I stood there 10 mins waiting on the splash screen of miiverse and nothing. Finally figured well at least it's not an update so tried to power down with power and nothing so then went to power supply. Plugged back in turned on power 2 sec blue then a flash another sec of blue and then red. So Xbox has RRoD I still need to come up with what I fear many people already have with their Wii u BBthenR ....
Anyway nintendo support keeps you online asking if you have an older sensor bar before buying Wii u and whether cables were right length for everything that came with Wii u. I was like wtf..... But alas I picked up 2 Wii u. Although zombie u now struck in the one I have send back for repair.... As Colbert would say MIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEERRRRRSSEEEE in his raspy voice

I can understand part of the argument that this is a new console. But...this is 2012 not 2003. As someone pointed out in another thread, the name should have been Wii U ID because that's what it is, and that would have explained a lot. I can see more of the argument being well they need time to implement the groundwork to use the ID across WiiU and 3DS and maybe online PC like Xbox live.com whee you could sign in and DL stuff while away from home, sweet but why start the road map on Novemebr 18th 2012? Why wasn't this part of the Wii U development process. I just don't see how a company can just say we'll get to it, I mean geese they are doing it but wow my brain still hurts with the mere understanding of these decisions lol.....
