I'm surprised at how much I've been using it. Watching tv in my living room while playing pikmin adventure or nano assault has just been the best

So what is everyone's favorite Nintendoland singleplayer mini-game? I like Donkey Kong but it frustrates me. Tried Pikmin tonight and it gives me great hope for what the actual game will look like. I'm actually posting this from the browser with the game running in the background. Cool shit, but I wish this bloody thing would capitalize words on its own.
Yeah, depending on the configuration of your home, it's an insanely great feature.
Even just at the TV, being able to download a game or an update without breaking away from whatever show Mrs. Juice is watching makes me more likely to use Wii U.
Pikmin, Metroid, and Balloon fighter. Mostly Pikmin though <3

Haha yeah. It's the portable Creed game the Vita title should have been. I wish my room was closer to the living room. I'd ditch the 3DS for this.

Ok... Need some help. Either I'm retarded, or Nintendo is.
I just made a new account for my girlfriend to play on. Why the fuck is it using my save for Nintendo Land? I can't for the life of me find a way to let her play her own game. Why the hell would she even have access to my saves when shes on her own account? Ugh....

they exist but they are just dollar values now. 20 and 50 I think for Wii U

WiiU updated. Had no issues with wifi connection at all.
Is there a WiiU NNID thread yet?

I may just do AC3 on the Wii U.
Are the 360\PS3 versions vastly superior to this version? I'd actually probably enjoy playing it in bed with the game pad. Sounds very promising.

I'll add to the list. Kid Icarus, please!
Has anyone had any luck boosting their signal for Off-TV Play by moving the console within the entertainment unit? I have mine located on the bottom of three levels, but despite living in a small apartment there's enough in between the living room/bedroom (including a closet on each side) that I'm not getting great reception in the next room. I can make some adjustments, but I'd rather not bother (and don't yet have a game that really lends itself to Off-TV). Just figured I'd see if anyone has any strategies.

WaraWara Plaza/Miiverse has been a killer app for me. The community is great.
I have mine set up on a sort of table thing that has my TV on top of it, moved my system over from the left of the TV to the right so that it was closer the wall of the rest of my apartment. Did seem to improve it.
If you can position it so that there is less physical stuff between it and the destination that is probably a big win.

Just had a duhhhhh moment. Didn't realize that if you spell a word that's not in the browser's dictionary, you can then just tap it and it adds the word to memory. Nintendoland Nintendoland Nintendoland. See?
Changing profiles don't make a difference to game saves
So if the game has only one save that is all you gonna get !

Wow, that's so dumb. I'm guessing this game only has one save "slot" then...... Nintendo still has a lot to learn.

a game like Pikman is going to be great with the WiiU pad.
I agree I'm really enjoying MiiVerse, I've used it more then I've played games so far.

Single player? I've hardly done anything single player on Nintendoland to give a good opinion... Me and my wife love playing the zelda one though, we trade back and forth between archery duty. It's a great co-op experience. Metroid surprisingly is too.
(edit) I will add in to I've been surprised how much I like miiverse now that it's working for me. I've already posted many times to Nintendo Lands and have been surprised by how many "Yeahs" I got to comments (top so far was my "Where's the pokemon attraction?" with a pokeball drawn to the side).
I truly have enjoyed walking around the park seeing peoples comments, and besides one vulgar obscenity against Jewish people it's been really pleasant. I think a lot of people have already tested their bounds and got banned from it I'd guess.

Can't figure out how to change my Nintendoland message that displays when people run into my Mii. Anyone know how?

I think you just make a new one and it's picked "randomly" from the comments you've made about the game when you appear in someone else's game.
For example, I've posted comments just in the plaza itself, but in the plaza I also see people's posts from specific games. I imagine those people didn't only make the one, and there was no option to set a "default"... so when you first connect it likely just grabs either the newest or a random one.

I think you can do the donkey kong game on screen only.

Ok, don't know where to ask these, but I've got a couple of questions.
1) Where can you set the screen brightness settings for the gamepad? When it's plugged in, it's quite a bit brighter, and I'd like it to be like that even when it's unplugged.
2) For games with offscreen play, like NSMBU, is the sound that's coming out of the gamepad always the same as the sound coming from the TV? I know in Nintendo Land, there are often different sounds coming from each. It's sort of hard for me to tell in NSMBU, sometimes it sounds like things are pretty different, but that might just be inherent to the speakers.

On the contrary, I've been playing with the TV set to Monday Night Football all night just playing single player Nintendoland titles.
I did donkey kong , fzero and Zelda as archer so far.
1) Press the home button, then Controller Settings -> Wii U GamePad Settings.
That sounds irritating.

Anyone have light leak issues on the tablet? I have a really bad light leak on the lower left-hand side. Saw a buddy's and his didn't have that problem. I also have a sticky B button. Returning mine tomorrow and trying to replace it if they still have some on the showroom floor (they had the 8GB models - I would downgrade if necessary).

I played Mario Chase with my momma.
It was awesome, and she had a great time.
Wii U definitely brown nosing, but it's working!

This. I'm not a social person. I absolutely love miiverse though. I've already posted several crudely drawn pictures from things in Nintendo land and gotten a few "Yeahs" back which is oddly warm and fuzzy feeling.
Kind of like the first time I got comments back on youtube videos or when someone on gaf quotes your post and doesn't immediately follow it up with a personal insult~
After a day with my Wii U I wanted to add my thoughts to the thread. I might jump around a bit but I'll try to keep my thoughts organized.
Pick up yesterday at my GS was simple and painless. The only painful part was the damage I did to my debit card thanks to the 6 games I bought with my Wii U. Here's what I decided to buy with it:
Nintendo Land came with it-haven't really had time to play it but I did update it and got to see what it does while it's loading up...good God that music!!! and then what it does at the title screen, even more neat music and those spotlights hitting those curtains!! I honestly can't wait to see what's behind those curtains!
Super Mario U-going to definitely play some tonight in bed. There's just one wall and less than 20 feet from where my Wii U is and my room so it should easily make it to my room. Super Mario World U? sign me up!
Epic Mickey 2-looks good and it supposedly supports OfF-TV play so I'm going to play that way I think
Darksiders 2 and Mass Effect 3-same deal as Epic Mickey 2
Warriors Orochi 3-It looks fantastic, I did enjoy Dynasty Warriors on Vita, what I have gotten through at least so this should be fun.
Scribblenauts U-Have read great things about these games the last few years so I figured now was a good time to try one out. Nintendo characters being included is what convinced me to get it honestly
Damage to debit card yesterday: 320 bucks
I can say from my experience with the gamepad so far: It just works, period. You really have to see it and experience it for yourself. I don't think any pics, or descriptions really do it justice. I'm not a huge graphics freak at all but it's very crisp and clear. I have no trouble seeing it. What is going to take time to get used to however is there's times where you'll need to look at the gamepad, then the TV or vice versa. Also, it's extremely weird to hear sound coming from both the gamepad and TV. That's gonna take getting used to too. Having no problems with touching/swiping with stylus either. It seems to respond well and really no complaints with that.
Initial set-up was painless. Found my router right away and got a stable connection to it. I was a bit concerned after reading some people here saying they had trouble with that but I lucked out. It didn't drop out at all during the update download either. That update took about 2 1/2 hours to download though-only bad part about the set-up. It takes 1 hour to download 500 MB on my current connection, so with it taking 2 1/2 hours I'd say the download size is 1.2 to 1.3 GB. NO where near the 5 GB size that was being reported. Actual installation of the update went smooth but took closer to 10 mins. some of it went very quickly, other parts where it's moving stuff into place it seemed to drag.
The creation of the Mii/System account-painless. Very easy to understand and get through. Very good music for the Mii creation stuff too! The Mii it made with my picture looks a lot like me, I'm happy with the Mii I got!
Nintendo Network account sign up was again painless. Make sure if you have a Club Nintendo account to go straight to the EShop after all the setup stuff to link that to your Nintendo Network account. That's how you register your Wii U with Club Nintendo and honestly I wish the Wii and 3DS did it this way-simple and fast.
After all the setup stuff was done, that inital load into the Wii U Menu/Wara Wara Plaza was EXTREMELY slow, probably a good 20 seconds. EShop load up was pretty quick. Wara Wara/Wii U Menu loaded MUCH quicker though when I left the EShop. Wara Wara Plaza had no messages or pictures last night. This afternoon it really came to life though!
I will say this after this afternoon. I'm not seeing the complaints over the loading at all. My Wii U boots fast and so does my Wii U Menu and Plaza. Jumping between stuff is very smooth and snappy on mine. Though I use it on my iPad, Netflix did load very very slowly however. The rest of it is honestly very fast on my end. My first thought was the extremely slow load times people are experiencing has GOT to be Nintendo Network/internet connection related. It's gotta be, I can't think of what else it could be for those having trouble. They will improve it over time I'm sure. But so far all I'm getting is a very fast snappy experience. I must have gotten very lucky with that.
I will really sit down and play at least Nintendo Land and Mario tonight, but just from the Gamepad/UI stuff I can say I'm incredibly impressed. All the integration just works, period. MiiVerse sounds really neat and I am MUCH much more likely to use that over Facebook or Twitter. I'll definitely go through that some tonight too and Yeah some posts and some of those drawings-some have incredible artistic talent and I wish I could draw like that! On a good day I can kinda sorta draw Yoshi-well as close as I can get, haha and I can draw the Mario World logo when I try. Other than that stick people pretty much!
I'm very pleased with the purchase so far. The sadness over the 320 bucks of damage I did yesterday will probably disappear very fast.
I have just one question: How do I access Off-TV Play in the games that support it? I'm asking because there was NO sound coming from the Gamepad when I started up Epic Mickey 2, Darksiders 2, and Mass Effect 3 when I checked to make sure they work. Just not seeing how to do it with those games.
Will definitely add my NN ID in the other thread right now, please feel free to add me, the more the merrier! I do like seeing all the different Miis people come up with!
P.S. Sorry for the long post, I'm trying to get better with condensing my thoughts but wanted to make sure I wrote all I wanted to!

Functioning as designed. You only get the top brightness if it's plugged in.
