Wii U: extended online maintenance planned today

4.6

Nintendo is set to carry out extended maintenance on its online services today, ahead of the expected release of a significant Wii U system update.

As Nintendo detailed last week, the Wii U update will reduce system loading times and enable users to switch data between two USB drives.
The patch will be followed by the launch of the Wii U Virtual Console, which will go live in the US tomorrow, according to a Nintendo of America Facebook post, which suggests that the system update will be released imminently.

Nintendo UK's network maintenance information page says:

Extended maintenance:

From (approx.) Monday, 22 April 2013 21:00 to Tuesday, 23 April 2013 03:00 [1pm-7pm Pacific Time]

Affected Services:

Wii U - Nintendo eShop
Nintendo 3DS - Nintendo eShop
Wii - Wii Shopping Channel
Nintendo DS - Nintendo DSi Shop
During the extended maintenance, parts of the affected services may be intermittently unavailable.

To be completely honest i'd much rather have a refund for my PS3 and my Move controllers... i payed alot more for it than the Wii U and have used it a lot less.

Drumstep On every wii u post I see all It is is: "Why are they even trying they should just stop" Seriously? If you were a company and messed up on ONE product, would you just stop? And if you don't like the product, just move on. You don't need to comment it 50 times on different wii u posts

I still dont like it at all.
