I just bought a Wii U and set it up yesterday. Everything works for me except the Hulu app. When I tried booting it up, it took me to some generic looking system information screen saying I needed to be connected to the internet to use the app (which I was). This was the app that came pre-loaded with the Wii U. So, I tried deleting the app and redownloading it from the e-shop (about three times in fact), but I'm getting a similar error.
Whenever I try to start Hulu Plus, it tells me "An update is required to start this software. Updates can be downloaded by connecting the Wii U console to the Internet."
Shouldn't it be doing this automatically? When I go to the Nintendo e-shop, I can't download anything more for Hulu, and the app certainly isn't doing it itself, so am I missing something? There are no on-screen prompts I can follow.
I've been looking online, but have been coming up blank so far.
