Maybe a bad cable or connection?
When I hooked my Macbook up to my TV at 1080 vs HDMI the TV would work fine for a while then automatically switch inputs to something else eventually. Wiggling the cable fixed it.

But that setting only affects the eShop. When I went back out into the menu, it was still cropping.

Where are the best deals for games? TRU?
I just realized I paid more for my 2 games than everyone else, really. Not a good look.

Nah, I tried another HDMI cable and another port on the TV, same issue.

Nintendo hasn't had quality on the seal for years now.
It is fantastic. The game looks amazing and there are zero technical hiccups playing on the big screen or the gamepad. I'm very, very happy with my purchase

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Took me well over 3 hours.

I've tried getting my monitor to work with the TV feature, but it won't recognize it. Anyway to get monitors to work?

I appreciate your level headed posts especially during every GAF meltdown, but as far as the things that matter to me... well, let's just say only is not the word I would use.
On top of that, I somewhat disagree, a 1GB firmware update and an absolutely abysmal OS are serious issues regardless of how temporary they may be.
Hoping things look brighter by the time Wonderful 101 and Bayo 2 arrive.

How do I turn the system off from the gamepad?
Wiiverse hacked all players deleted.
you're exaggerating. go drink some tea or something.
I've been very impressed with the launch. Update took me about 45 minutes, and I wouldn't have given it a second thought if it weren't for GAF.
Love Scribblenauts. Mario is great. Seeing Nintendo shit in HD is magical in its own way, just due to the novelty.
My favorite aspect is that because my bedroom is directly above the TV's room, I can play console games from bed. This is huge for my wife, because she falls asleep earlier and now I don't have to stay downstairs anti-socially so long as I'm playing a Wii U game.
And that's of course contingent on this thing getting some software.

People are allowed to be displeased or are you going to white knight every response

Seriously, when you get a call notification from Wii U Chat, by the time you actually get Wii U Chat open and running the other person has probably hung up. Ridiculous.
This slow shit barely passed muster on the Wii back in 2008. Today? Unacceptable.

There should be soon, but as of right now no.

This.
Wouldn't that be a mega thread which isn't allowed anymore?
how is the firmware update a serious issue? when I got home from midnight launch last night I skipped the update and went straight into mario with my fiancee, when we were done playing the update had finished downloading in the background and installed itself.

Guys, should I return my 2 games that I bought from Best Buy and buy them from Target (b1g1 50%off) instead? Or will Best Buy match that and return some money?

Everyone returned their WIIUs...
Playing Mario, watching The Walking Dead, and using Wii U gamepad to browse channels periodically : Priceless!
Not the smoothest of launches. But I see tons of potential here.
when did this start?

Target is buy 2 get 1 50% off totaling 3 games isn't it?

Target is B2G1 50% off. Toys R Us is B1G1 40% off. If you have a TRU nearby it might be worth it.
At least in Europe, the seal of quality is still on most (if not all) games: Just check your Skyward Sword case, for example.
People are expecting a console launching in 2012 ("next gen", as people like to say - not that such a qualifier means anything) to have a functional operating system that isn't extremely slow and is missing plenty of critical functionality (Cinch audio with HDMI, Account transfers, ...). This is a completely reasonable expectation. Nintendo may better this in the future, but for now, the Wii U is a mess.

I microwave steaks.
The first (and forever last) time I tried to price match something at best buy, the dude told me it has to be a set price, it can't be percent off. But you could get lucky and try.
Be happy. Someone posted "Horny Bitch" on the Nintendoland wall.
Great job modding Nintendo.
Is it on my end? I wasn't sure if it was a server thing, or shitty comcast thing...just ran a speed test and got 15.56 Mbps d/l and 4.3 Mbps u/l.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
i think you're unacceptable.

btw, the remote feature is great but you have to keep one eye on each screen as he channel nums don't show n gamepad.

How the fuck can i go online with this shit?????? Someone please help me out here.
I have tried everything and i even went and bought a damn Wii LAN Adapter and this shit still does not connect, i have removed the cat5 cable from 360,PS3 (Which work just fine) and nothing....I have yet to update this WII U and i got it at midnight.
every device works but i think i might have gotten a wii u console that does not work.
Any tips?

Ditto. It's also nice being in the top 10 leaderboards...for now.
Mine is Gamepad only until I get my new TV within the next 12 days. Keep in mind I only have Nano Assault Neo.

For anyone curious, the Nintendoland update alone was 228MB... if every game got similarly high update sizes and you managed to buy 4-5 games, you'd already be almost out of space on the 8GB model after system update. Basic model is definitely the "tard" bundle.

Does anyone have any advice for dealing with Nintendo customer support? My Wii crashes when transferring data to the Wii U and they want to charge me $107 (after tax) to repair it. For that price I could just rebuy everything on the Wii U and still come out paying less.
I've heard that they sometimes offer discounts for longtime Club Nintendo members but I'm not really sure how to even go about doing anything about it.
