Yes, I was saying this when the Karaoke U app wasn't there in the morning of the release day and I kept reloading the eShop. They should definitely let us know the time when the releases will be up.

The eShop doesn't adjust for local time, it seems. Also note the store 'news' update for today was marked as the 31st of October.
Local dates would be nice, Nintendo.
reminded me of this

although that's kind of the opposite.

e-shop is updated and I can see Wii Fit U in the home screen, but err, I don't know where to download it from :S

If there's not a big download or purchase button when you go to its page (just by touching that ad in the shop), look again in a few hours. The download button should appear where it currently says its release date.

Download is up now in Australia
Edit: 4644MB. There's also a warning about save data not transferring to the paid download or retail versions. I assume that means that you keep your data if you add the fit meter but not if you change versions? I hope so, seems like losing your data when you activate it would be pretty bad.
Haha the size is listed differently three times. 4644MB in the store and both 4649MB and 4643MB in the download page, strange.

Thanks!
It took me about 5 hours to download 1.3 GBs from the eShop two weeks ago, from memory. Let's see about 4.65 GB.

Current estimated time for me is 6 hours....

3.5 hours here.
[Edit: now over 9 hours]
Due to time zones, it's not uncommon. New Zealand moreso.
Nah, since the communities can only be accessed in-game apparently, Nintendo probably has probably updated Miiverse already.
Nah, there was little chance this would be a midnight download.
Nah, Wii Karaoke U wasn't available until 10AM GMT+2. Midnight downloads are only for major, important games (like Zelda).
It was already explained in a previous post, and in the OP too I believe, but that message means :
1) you'll KEEP your save if you activate the Trial version with the Fit Meter
2) you'll lose it if you buy the retail version or the paid DL version (which won't be available before Feb. 1st), since they're technically different games compared to the Trial version.
why would it. activating it turns it into the full version. which will be on the eshop "forever."
Thought it was going to be a midnight jobby.
Looked this morning, no sign
hey, I want to play that after breakfast.
But the version that will be available to buy on the eShop apparently can't use the save from the version you get by activating the trial, which suggests they're actually different versions.

It's up in Europe too.
Downloading now!!

Nah, it won't. Nintendo isn't stupid enough to prevent users who upgraded from redownloading. People will still be able to redownload the software from the eShop.
But that's an entirely different scenario. There, the issue is that the trial has lapsed and the user wants to use data from the expired version on the full paid download which is obviously different because it lacks the trial element. Those two ARE different versions. But when you DO activate your trial to be the full version, you change from one into the other, registering your account to own the full game. So no issue there. Also, it would be a major fuck you move to say you own it but you can never delete it. It makes no sense even in crazy It's-Nintendo-so-everything-goes land.
Damnit. I had to leave for work 5 mins before Wii Fit U became available to download in the UK. This means it will probably take too long to download this evening. I was hoping to play it after work (and before eating dinner ).
On a more positive note, I received notification that my Fit Meter should be delivered today.

to activate the game you only need the fit meter.
but you won't be able to play the game without a balance board.

The balance board is required to play it.
It's also free and being hammered by people.

Yeah yeah, and I don't want to sound ungrateful or anything, it's a really cool deal

Damnit.
Same.
But, uh, I snuck back home. Shhh!
Just the Fit Meter, apparently. If you don't have a Balance Board, you can just wait untl you get one before you launch the software, since you have until January 31st to actually get your trial period activated
Downloading now in Sleep mode. 1h27 minutes left, but I won't be able to use it right now anyway.
