I haven't seen much playing in the hour they've been up. So your hilarious comment right back at you!

Right, but it will get played. And bought. And have decent games. I wasn't speaking strictly in terms of this livestream.

 

[Felix Lighter]

and they didn't do the firmware update...


i half expect one of these Wii U's to brick at some point today

They wanted to show the initial boot process on one of them. The other one has the firmware update.

 

[Rapstah]

Uh, maybe? That's a weird way to count time.

It was up over one hour for a moment so I suppose it's "staying" like that for consistency.

 

[Gav47]

Didn't the system update take 1hr+ on that /v/ stream yesterday?

 

[Dark Schala]

BEST STREAM OF CONTINUOUS UPDATING.

Is that the JRPG where the school kids shoot themselves in the head?

That's Persona 3: Famously Extreme Shooting

 

[MThanded]

[ghostmind]

They could have just created a video for that previously... i'm sure we would all be ok missing the sync screens for the gamepad/console.

Luchadeer take the wheel.

 

[UberTag]

Ok this is embarrassing for nintendo. lol

Dude, it's 2012. Online is hard.
This is still "progress" by Nintendo standards.

 

[a secret-boss]

Bar is not moving. Disconnected from WIFI lol

 

[Felix Lighter]

A failed internet connection can brick the system during a firmware update and they want people to do this for 90 min over wifi?

 

[Backfoggen]

Only the cricket bat? Holy shit. How can you not put a million melee weapons in a game like that. NO REBAR BENT NO BUY

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

double updates

is that your lunch? because that looks way to good!

 

[LCfiner]

This is a sobering post.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

Good lord what is going on

 

[Balehead]

This is basically Patrick quick looking a game right now.

 

[shadyspace]

Cricket bat being the ONLY melee weapon is mad disappointing. Give me a metal tee bat you British assholes.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Dude, it's 2012. Online is hard.

It takes some time to adjust to new technology like firmware updates and wi-fi.

Ouch. Really?

 

[Haunted]

Don't cross the update bars!

 

[KissVibes]

Uh, Patrick isn't doing a great job selling ZombiU.


Oh and is it true that if you lose connection while updating your system will brick? My wifi goes out occasionally due to my closeness to an air force base and I'd be pissed if the system bricked on me due to that bullshit.

 

[Ashler]

I predict a bricked console.

 

[MarkusRJR]

In all of my Wii U shopping shenanigans I missed the beginning of the stream. What did I miss and will there be an archived version soon?

 

[justjim89]

Am I the only one that didn't mind Wii's online? It did what it needed to do perfectly fine. Hell, my Wii is still my main Netflix machine.

 

[LCfiner]

bless you.

 

[Zombie James]

I was making a cake and I'm surprised I haven't missed anything.
