Support NeoGAF

[Frodo]

If you force the console to shut down holding the Power Button it now shows a message you did it when switching it on again.

[Smiles and Cries]

Yes. has someone won once already ? I just had this crazy thought the prize for winning would be the eshop game you managed to align for free

 

[Aostia]

guys, please: what about YOUTUBE? is it working now?

 

[Frodo]

And then you align Zen Pinball which can be downloaded for free. lol

 

[Smiles and Cries]

yes

With the right rythm its quite easy.There's a little sound when you win, but even with 4 wins in a row, no gifts.

 

[Plinko]

I'll definitely be utilizing the gamepad/CC Pro combination for Xenoblade while watching sports.

 

[cacildo]

guys, please: what about YOUTUBE? is it working now?

YES

3 videos already and im fine here. Long videos, short videos, no problem.

im typing this message on my gamepad while my tv is streaming lonerism on youtube with no crashes. it works great

 

[SovanJedi]

I haven't checked everything out, but having Dolby Pro Logic II support is a HUGE deal for me. Kind of stupid it wasn't in from the start, but it's fixed now so I'm happy. Everything loads a fair bit faster too now.

Good job Techtendo dudes!

 

[Frodo]

Being able to upload pictures directly on Facebook, Twitter and tumblr will be fun.

 

[Hours Left]

I like the new eShop music, but I like the old eShop music too...

They should let us toggle between the two.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

don't know if I like those MB numbers tick tick tick up sp slowly

 

[Frodo]

The new loading screens are awesome!

And closing apps and games are noticeably faster now. Miiverse is seamless.

 

[Qurupeke]

PDF!!!! Holy shit! Also, I posted this message using a keyboard with my Wii U!!!

 

[Kouriozan]

Let me know if it's pre loaded.

Yup, I had my Wii U in sleep mode, as soon as I powered it on it installed the update.

 

[Frodo]

One thing I would love them to do is to find a way to control sound output so it is always on the same level, no matter the game or application being used. I almost have a mini-heat-attack every time I start Rayman Legends, because the music on the splash screen is so absurdly loud.

 

[Atram]

are wireless keyboards working with the update?

 

[Lexxism]

are wireless keyboards working with the update?

If I get it correct, yes, USB keyboards are working with the new firmware update. Haven't tried it myself though.

 

[NeoRausch]

are wireless keyboards working with the update?

just used my old wireless (Wii branded! hurr!) keyboard.

worked just fine...

... as it did with MH3U.

 

[Subaru]

I know those numbers were not there before this update I cannot be crazy I know I have images of other downloads

You're right!

Edit: Excelent purchase, btw. W101 is GOTY.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

wait now you can type on NEOGAF using a keyboard and upload pics from Wii U?

we need an App

 

[SuperHans]

Can you use the Wii U Pro Controller to play Wii games? I'm thinking probably not

 

[Panajev2001a]

Interesting that they do not disable audio output on the old analog A/V port... Mmmh, how does this improve getting basic surround sound on systems which do not support it over HDMI (lots of receivers only support 5.1 surround sound over optical for example).

 

[NeoRausch]

Can you use the Wii U Pro Controller to play Wii games? I'm thinking probably not

nope

 

[SuperHans]

nope

Balls, hope they patch it in down the line but wont hold my breath.

 

[SolarPowered]

Added the option to view a friend's profile on Miiverse when sending or receiving a chat request
Users can now chat using a headset connected to the Wii U GamePad

I'm surprised that this hasn't been possible since day one. Still sounds like cross-game party chat is a far off dream.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

You're right!


Edit: Excelent purchase, btw. W101 is GOTY.

good I am not crazy... yup I have been hype for W101 but been very busy

too bad I chose today for download since people are now waking up to find they missed a firmware update last night

my download is slow goes from 1 hour to 4 hours each time I try to force a pause/resume

 

[Qurupeke]

You can't use the special characters via keyboard though... But Wii U is now the Ultimate NeoGAF hype console!Write on GAF with a keyboard, while you watch a Nintendo Direct on TV.

 

[M3d10n]

USB keyboard? So... SaltyBet?

 

[Prax]

welp, guess I know what I'll be doing when I get home this fine morning..!

 

[Agent Gibbs]

wait i'm late to the party here, so we got an update that did everything we expected, but drops megatons of outputting wiimode to the game pad (totally unexpected and believed to never ever gonna happen) and everyone is bitching because they didn't implement a tweek to allow the gamepad buttons to be mapped to classic controller buttons?

well done gaf! they probably gave us an unfinished update to please people, and plan to add it later but can we be happy nooooo!

I suppose if your parents promised to buy you a car for your 18th, then come your 18th you find a car, as good as expected, but whats more they gave you a trailer with a jetski (because everyone needs a jetski)!
and are you happy? NOooooo the jet ski is the wrong colour your life is over, you want to murder your stupid parents who can't do anything right.......

ungrateful

 

[Aostia]

YES

thanks! what a relief, I use it a lot

 

[What The Forest Taught Me]

So no Wii U-to-Wii U data transfer tool? Some of us would really like to upgrade to a new Deluxe bundle...

 

[D-e-f-]

sorry if old!

noticed because of: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=84182855&postcount=5388

edit: oh my .... of course this has been discussed JUST a few posts earlier hahaha

 

[cyberheater]

So you have to have the TV connected to be able to use the Wii mode on the gamepad screen. That's so stupid. It's unbelievable.

Someone please prove me wrong.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

you guys should at least get off my servers the pain

I read somwhere that you have to set the output to something other than HDMI - then you don't need the TV.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

back to 4 hours left


glad to know Firmware updates will never help Nintendo eShop download speeds

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Let me know if it's pre loaded.

FYI: I checked this am. Not preloaded but downloading for me.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Kinda disappointed that the firmware update didn't include folder, my menu screen is a mess.

 

[cyberheater]

That worked, thanks. It still daft though.

 

[LiberaTeExInferis]

Regarding the sound output, we still have to buy a LPCM receiver to have surround sound for Wii U games, right?I am not going to save some money, as it seems..

They have also impoved speed in the OS, as I perused several messages stating it..

I am DLing it now!!

 

[Mithos]

Wii U Browser now scores a 308 in the html5 test making it the best browser on gaming machines again.

For reference.

Nintendo Wii U NetFront NX 2.1 (fw 3.x.x): 258 + 4 points.
Nintendo Wii U NetFront NX 3.0 (fw 4.x.x): 308 + 4 points.

Nintendo ain't taking shit from no Sony portable.... when it comes to browser compatibility!

 

[cacildo]

wait, this sound thing... now its possible to plug the Wiiu in the tv with HDMI cable while sending audio to any sound system using an av cable?

 

[phosphor112]

Yessir. Much needed feature.

 

[Surfheart]

I have a question. I've had a Wii U since launch, but I didn't transfer my Wii over to it when I got it. Is it too late to transfer my Wii over to it, with all my Wii Virtual Console purchases?

Just did this tonight no problems.
