is the virtual console up as well?
I prefer the underscan, since it gives a sharper 1:1 pixel-perfect picture with no blur from the slight stretching of a 960p image to a 1080p display.
Not yet. Supposedly tomorrow but it wasn't mentioned in this weeks press release so who knows.
I was looking forward to this, too. I really hope it's out tomorrow with the Virtual Console games.

Update downloaded well and truly fast enough for once.

Has any one tried what happens when you accidentally eject a disk during gameplay? I remember the solution was pretty basic.
Downloading now, 1h54m to go.

No, but can't you just check the games that are listed on the eShop?

Hope it isn't as late as the system update, I've only slept like 3 hours tonight
Dunno. I'm updating right now. When I looked yesterday, there was nothing listed on the store.

Not updated yet. Probably be our usual update time, about 2/3 in the afternoon (which 6/7 hours away).
Eh? America has pages for all of the VC launch games that are coming.
I guess I shouldn't expect people to read the OP 71 pages in, huh?

Absolutely you should, and I did read it, it is a very good OP.
It's my fault really, because I didn't instantly realize that the screen size setting would affect everything once it was placed under the system settings.
I'm just happy to get the full view on my 32" Wega.

Haha, yeah, this is Europe. Our eShop team rarely update the front page before files get uploaded. They are not amazing (and also it's only just time now for everyone to be waking up again)
Ah. Yet you guys get the better eShop layout. :/

I want to DL this right now, but multiple people posting about system lockups makes me wonder if waiting a couple days might be a better idea.

I got the same freeze at home-button press in NFS as before. I haven't tested for freezes in any of the other games I have (not that I did it deliberately in NFS ; )
It took me 15 minutes to download the update. If it's really ~600MB, that would have taken me almost 2-3 days in the 90s.

We may never know. But my gut feeling tells me nintendo might have what to improve on their tcp stack - every single freeze I've had in the system so far has either been directly related to online activities, or has been unreproducible while the system's been offline.

Came back this morning and the wiiu was still locked up at the same spot it was last night. Reset the router and unplugged everything that isn't the wiiu. Will try it again before work after work ill contact Nintendo and figure out what to do
People have apparently been complaining about NFS quite a bit so I wouldn't be surprised if it was the game in that specific case.

That's interesting. The only freeze I've encountered so far - touch wood - was in Zombi U. The game is split into discrete areas - Spitalfields, Buckingham Palace etc. - but within each area the game seems to be streaming the next subsection as you move through the level. You can "break" the streaming by sprinting through an area, so that when you arrive at a closed door the game will stall forcing the player to wait for the door to open while it loads the following section.
The one freeze I had was when I did just that, and the game locked up when the "loading" text popped up while I was waiting for the door to open.

I got the same freeze / crash thing right after it applied the system update. And am I the only one who thinks this thing is still slow doggone slow? It still takes a good 10-15 seconds to go into the system settings...
Early 2000s it took me about 10 minutes for 1MB so I would have had to camp out for it. Not even taking into account it was PAYG.
I wish my speeds back then were like his apparent 90s.
Well this is stage one of speeding the system up. These arn't the final speeds that we'll be stuck with for the rest of the console's life. And honestly do you go into the settings that often?

My gamepad failed to update during the larger system update. Error: 199-9999
After an automatic restart it resumed the process from 80% and completed just fine.

I'm pretty sure everyone got that, the GamePad was a bit erratic during the update too.

Okay we have the same as America but also Mario's Super Picross. It's the same price as the other SNES titles this time, where Hanabi Festival games were a bit more expensive previously on Wii.
Why??

Good to know. I've not read the other 70 pages.
Yeah, some things still need improving such as going in and out of the main system settings but tbh that's the kinda think you'd go into once when setting the system up for the first time and then never touch unless you have Wi-Fi issues or something.
The OS isnt instantaneous but in regards to a console OS its pretty fast. Phase one.
If only it was that fast for me. My Wii U has lost connection 4 times now overnight for the update for some reason.
