When playing the Wii U for the first time, you should be aware of the console’s “automatic shutoff” feature. This appears to be enabled from the start.
If you don’t adjust the setting, your Wii U will turn off “if there has been no input for a set period of time” – including pause time while playing a game. It’s automatically set to shut down after an hour, it seems.
You can change the setting in the system options. It’s possible to turn it off completely, or adjust the amount of “idle time” before the system shuts down.

Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 were high up on the October 2012 NPD charts. Black 2 secured the #3 spot while White 2 landed at #5. Together, the two versions sold 865,000 copies in the US last month.
How does that stack up to the original games? Black/White moved over two million copies in less than two weeks.
