It is Christmas and like many other gamers around the world have just received a shiny new Wii U!  After feverishly unboxing the new console, wiring it up, and finishing the lengthy mandatory system update, it is time to get into the nuts and bolts of the Wii U.  Having any difficulty?  Well Nintendo is here to save the day!  Nintendo has been kind enough to put together a bunch of different ‘How To’ videos on several different Wii U features and functions.  I would have personally liked the Wii to Wii U System Transfer tutorial when I was setting up my Wii U because the instructions provided with the console were not very clear but I was eventually able to figure it out by trial and error.  Other than that, I have not had any issues using or setting up any of the Wii U’s features but if there is any trouble, one of the following videos may help!

Downloading The Wii U System Update

WARNING: It is strongly recommended that you DO NOT turn off, restart, or unplug your Wii U while performing system updates as this will ruin or ‘brick’ your Wii U indefinitely.
