If you are downloading software from the Nintendo eShop, while you are playing a game, it could impact the performance of the gameplay. Games like ZombiU can become a bit jerky, which can of course bug some people. If you want to be guaranteed of a fine experience, it looks like you will have to pause your downloads. Has this issue popped up by anyone?

...it's like that with the other consoles though. hell, the xbox will just outright disable your download if you try to play online

This actually sounds like a reasonable limitation of the Wii U hardware. Downloading is a bit of a bitch computational-wise.

Steam generally stops your downloads when you start playin a game. Very rarely will the PS3 keep downloading while you're playing. This is some pretty normal shit.
