The Wii U's inconvenient day one patch will be greeting new console owners until next year. Speaking with Gamasutra (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/182744/Nintendos_FilsAime_unfazed_by_Wii_Us_launch_hiccup s.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GamasutraNews+%28Gamasutra+Ne ws%29#.UL38MYXN4xN), Nintendo America president Reggie Fils-Aime said the update won't be built into the system until early 2013.
"Nintendo developers want to make sure that the very best product is available to consumers," Fils-Aime told Gama. "That creates a dynamic where our developers are working on elements until the very last point possible. That's why the system update was required on day one – and this is quite similar to what's happened with other consumer electronic products."
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata had previously apologized (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/29/iwata-apologizes-for-wii-us-massive-update/) for the inconvenience, noting he believed customers "should be able to use all the functions of a console video game machine as soon as they open the box." If you're getting a Wii U console over the holidays, make sure to practice patience during the update and, whatever you do, don't interrupt the Wii U doin' its thang (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/19/report-wii-u-dies-if-power-cut-during-massive-firmware-update/).
