Here is a rough translation of the dialogue from that first picture. I say rough because I used google translate and I am good at unscrambling engrish (broken english).

That the dude from that microgame similar to sole man in gamer. It seems that he could be giving the guy in the koopa suit a pep talk or lecture. If so, he could be saying something like "Well, I do difficult things here too". Since it is a phone call, it could be that he is saying something like "I do the difficult parts around here". If so, it is a reference to the microgame itself since it is the hardest version of the microgame.
 
I got the server down message thrice, and I still persevered and updated it. My internet is shit too.

This is the update that allows future updates to download while the console is off, right?

yep

it's not that my internet sucks

i just have a fear of bricking the damn console again
 
Overal, the Update is very speedy.
I did get an Error Code at 89%, but apparently, it continued on 89% after the reboot, so there was no problem.
However, Nintendo still forgot to finally Launch Nintendo TVii, I'm waiting 6 months on this already!

You're not missing much, Yami.
 
I'm getting the update right now. It might brick the console but I haven't played it in a few months anyway so I don't think it'll be too big a deal. I'll just need to get it fixed somehow if it does end up happening.

Apparently it's going to take 2+ Hours. It's sort of fluctuating between 2:07-2:12 for now, but I can tell the bar is slowly getting bigger so I'm fine with waiting.

What's the update bring? I haven't paid attention.

What does it even have? Because it's not available on mine either (though it's not a big deal).
 
Uh...you can access Netflix, Hulu, etc. through it, and when watching certain TV shows, you're able to post live comments that show up on Miiverse. It's also got a remote feature that aesthetically differs from what you get if you press TV on the GamePad but serves the same purpose (volume/channel control). I think it's supposed to get DVR functionality at some point, but I'm not sure. Also, here's everything that's in the update, apparently (I say apparently because I won't get to update my Wii U for at least another fifteen hours, since I'm not at home).
 
Oh, Tvii is probably kind of useless then because I don't think Netflix and those services are available in Australia (last time I checked a few months ago).

The update seems to be just an overall performance enhancement and tidy up of some things. Maybe I should use this time to finally beat Mario U and level up the other characters in Sonic Racing.
 
Netflix and Hulu aren't available in The Netherlands neither.
I took a 2 weeks free trial on a Hulu Japan subscription, just to see what's inside.
While using a Japanese Proxy, I saw there are even the latest Pokémon episodes in there, which is a great reason for me to get it again, anyway.
 
OMG THERE'S WII REMOTE FUNCTIONALITY ON THE INTERNET BROWSER! <3

got the update this morning around 7

haven't fired up the wii u since then

edit: okay, so i went to go look at the vc titles which are now available

and it says i have to visit the wii shop channel in the wii mode to access the eshop

i went to nintendo's website, and there's maintenance going on

so is this a new feature of the update, or a glitch due to the maintenance

mind you both of my wii remotes have pretty much imploded to death on me

You heard it there folks, if Nintendo released the entire ROM collection of NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gameboy Advanced, Genesis, Turbografx-16, among others, people would just whine that they don't have anything to play even more!
 
Nope, still no Virtual Console in the eShop.
At least, I can't find them, not even under "Recent Software".
The only one I can find, is Kirby's Adventure, which costs € 0,30.

You must've barely missed it before it was added because it's the huge button in the middle of the screen when you open eShop.

I don't think I'll get any of them. I'd probably never play them. Actually, If I put my WiiWare or VC games from my Wii on an SD Card, could I put them on the Wii U in the Wii Menu? Because I don't plan on moving my data from my Wii to the Wii U (I like playing some Wii games with a GCN Controller).
 
I was saying that before 9:00 AM, there indeed were no VC's, back then.
Check the time of Posting next time.
 
They have a lot of nerve to release panorama view and ask you to buy the videos $2 each. I though when they meant by "demo" I thought that you will only get a portion of each video by itself, but instead, it gives you a montage of only a few seconds of each video (with with hardly any sound).
