GAME just cancelled my premium w/ zombiu and pro controller
Fuck
The point i am making is you actually get rewards worth getting points for.OK, that explains why there's this weird twisted idea that NoE's Club Nintendo is so good. People see some images and assume they are rewards. Yes, we sometimes have good one of things like the Mario Kart 7 trophies but those cost points and often those good prizes come out after everyone's points have expired or sell out faster than you can say "Club Nintendo being good is a myth". We don't get a bonus reward for saving up a certain number of points by the end of the year.
Online?
Yeah
No idea why, maybe out of stock
Ordered it on the 16th
Anecdotal evidence here, but the GAME I went into earlier only had two Zombi U packs left available to preorder, one of which now has my name on it.
They had all but one of their premiums snapped up already, and only two Basics left. 9 people, now 10, confirmed coming to their midnight opening. And this isn't a big store either.
Anyway. The Zombi U pack is a brilliant deal for £349.99. Considering that the standard premium is £309.99 in store, paying an extra £40 for Zombi U AND a pro controller is great. Basically getting either the game or controller free, depending on which way you see it.
You don't get Nintendoland with the ZombieU pack.
Does anyone know whether the backwards compatibility of Wii U is region locked? I.e. can I play my PAL Wii games on a North American Wii U?
Same question for the 3DS too, can I play my PAL DS games on a 3DS bought in US?

I asked earlier in the thread, and it's still region locked apparently.
I probably won't bother doing the system transfer tbh. There doesn't seem to be any benefit to doing it, and I want to still be able to play my US games.
Edit: The 3DS plays different-region DS games just fine though. Most of my DS games are from the US (I like those slim cases) and they all work fine on my UK 3DS.
Both the Wii U and 3DS :S?

My Sonic Racing download finally finished while I was asleep. Now it's taking an hour five to install! Oh, Nintendo...
Where are you? My local store, Chichester, is tiny. I couldn't believe there'd be a midnight launch!Anecdotal evidence here, but the GAME I went into earlier only had two Zombi U packs left available to preorder, one of which now has my name on it.

Funny, I downloaded Sonic Racing as well and the download probably took a good 5 hours...big pain in the ass if you have to install them as well for over an hour each.
I was hoping to go disc-less with this system, but if this is the regular process it may not be so awesome.
Hopefully Sonic Racing is as boss a game as it looks to make up for the wait!
Looking for a little input from people who have had more time to mess around with the Gamepad TV remote functionality (not that there is too much to mess w/) I have an LG 2012 TV, and it uses one of those stupid Magic Remotes (the pointer one, it's stupid) and as of right now, my Gamepad is set up to control my DVR and my TV. But I can't switch inputs. When I hit input, it goes to the input menu on the TV, but I have no way of selecting the specific input, it just cycles between two.
Does anyone have a similar tv to mine and using the Gamepad? Are there any ways around this? Just curious!

Scrolling up and down with the analog sticks instead of only pressing the INPUT button should work. That's how I do it. I have a samsung that grays out ports not in use, but when I use the analog stick I can scroll through the whole list without any problems.
Luckily Sony got me used to shit like this, or else I'd be really annoyed by something like this.
Yeah, scrolling isnt a problem for me, it's selecting. Because when I press any of the face buttons, it controls the DVR and not the TV. So, I can switch inputs through the menu but not select them and therefore can't change between inputs.
Stupid LG TV input, it's a menu instead of just cycling through all the active inputs.

Yeah, I forgot that downloading and installing on the PS3 is also a huge pain in the ass. Still doesn't take as long, once you finally get it started, though.
Hrm. Yeah, I don't know, man. I misunderstood your original post. I didn't even think about having two separate devices run off of the same gamepad.
I returned my Deluxe Wii U, unopened. I may buy one again in 2013 when Platinum starts releasing their games for it, but for now there is nothing I HAVE to play.
Yea, It's all good. I could just keep using the DVR remote, and use this for TV functionality. When I had the TV and only the TV set up, the face buttons would let me switch between input, but the DVR added in disables the face buttons for TV support.
Could just wait for a hopeful update to add more functionality, in the future, I spose.
Only 4 days until Nintendo releases the Wii U in Germany *_*
And I have two questions:
1) Is it clear whether the Deluxe Pack will include Nintendo Land's case?
2) Is it possible to play NSMB U without a TV?
Thanks for answering my questions <3
1) The Deluxe in NA does come with a case, i assume it's the same everywhere else.Only 4 days until Nintendo releases the Wii U in Germany *_*

Imagine what the install of AC3 is like at 17 gig if Sonic Racing at 5 gig takes over an hour. Sony at least lets you download and install it and then shut itself off. Then you wake up and its all done. Only option on Wii U at the moment is to download and shut off.

I downloaded AC3
and NG3 the same night I did not notice the installs as much as the download taking forever and still had to wait until morning when I ordered at 7pm
I still think the digital copies are worth the download when you and the gamepad are away from the TV and Wii U and you don't have to get up and walk over to change disks.
You just have to plan you download and install times as no gaming times
as exciting as getting your hands on a game is, I think downloading Zelda HD and waiting for it will be hard but still.
One thing about AC3 when I was downloading I posted on Miiverse that this will be my first AC game experience. Somone replied "Too bad you digital copy will be lost in your system if your Wii U broke" <= that was the reply.
I had to scratch my head that someone is expecting a my Wii U to break and also for Nintendo to never update a way to transfer your games from old hardware to new.
3DS transfers have a 5 transfer limitation but I would expect as least the same type of option in the coming months.
I was just thinking man that dude cannot be happy for me and has to wish me some bad luck after waiting all this time downloading
I think a lot of people on Miiverse are worried that the frequent hardware lockups are being caused by hardware failures, when in fact it's poorly written netcode causing it to happen (Miiverse). They'd have more piece of mind if the account system wasn't so bad, though.
Is there a way to avoid that until a patch? Can you turn off Internet access for miiverse while still being able to access the store?

I've seen people saying that changing Miiverse posts to English Only or turning them off has stopped freezing.
Three moar dais.
Ordered an ethernet adapter since the Wii-U can't see/connect to my Wireless N 5ghz network and I have to connect to my guest network that's set up as G. I'd have a lot more peace of mind being wired anyways...although someone earlier was saying that things were actually slower with their ethernet adapter vs. WiFi?
...going to hope that's a 1-off and not the norm when it comes to the ethernet adapter.
My router is literally a foot away from the Wii-U so it's not so much about signal strength as it is about having a stable/solid connection. Basically I want to ensure that if anything is being slow, it's on Nintendo's end and not my Wireless G network speeds.
Also kind of annoyed that Black Ops 2 is basically the only launch game not up on the eShop, as I'd love to jump online and feel like a god considering I keep reading about the super small number of folks online. Would be really fun to one of the dominant few that play online regularly, and it sounds like the MP side of BOps is actually rock solid on the Wii-U.
Tonight's going to be my first extended play session with the console, and I suspect it will be a lot of Sonic Racing. Really looking forward to that game...and it wasn't even on my radar.
Why not connect through your guest network? As long as it doesn't need a web login to get out to the Internet you should be fine - it should be firealled away from your LAN so no security issues
