It's becoming a big problem lately with 5.5.1 users who want to buy Brain Age for use with Haxchi, but are stuck at "0% pending" in Download Management. Based on the feedback of users, the culprit of this was that the failed system update that's shown in Download Management prevents any further downloads from taking place. Now how do we get rid of the failed update?

Here's the solution:


1. After downloading your DS VC game from Eshop and getting stuck on "pending download", simply unplug your system from the back while it's still on (Not from the wall outlet)

2. After about 10 seconds, replug the power cable and turn on the Wii U

3. Go to Download Management and the DS VC should now download properly, and the failed system update should be gone

hey guys, hold power button for 10 seconds, it clears the update!
the turn off and unplug only works if you have quickboot turned off.

turning it off while its on only forces a full reboot but might damage your console, so I wouldn't recommend it
