Well I got an email back from Nintendo a couple of hours after my first post. The repair number says it's shipped and will take 2-3 business days to get back. I shipped it through Purolator on the 24th. I'm impressed at the turnaround time. I've always had positive experiences when calling their contact center or dealing with Nintendo. Kudos to them.

It didn't give me details as to what was fixed other than Warranty = Yes, Cost = 175.00, Total = 0. So covered under warranty, but what would cost 175.00? The motherboard? I can't think of anything else in the console that cost that much, unless they are including labor?

Edit: On a side note, what does it take to become a member and to lose junior member? Post count?

I'll be getting Rayman Legends when it comes out. Demo is awesome and my wife is totally excited about it. Enjoyed what I played of it and I'll give Ubisoft my money since no one else seems to want it. :)

I will get Rayman Legends. My kids are on their way to exhausting the demo count for tries. And after playing the Demo also twice myself on the pad and with a remote, specially the last synchronized rock & roll level, this game will be pretty much epic.

So anyone picking up Rayman Legends at the end of Feb? Been seriously considering it, especially if I finish NSMBU in the next week or two. However with Monster Hunter, Lego City Undercover, Etrian Odyssey IV and Pandora's Tower coming around the same time I wonder if I should wait. Those last two I think need to be bought sooner rather then later as I expect them both to be limited runs. Also doesn't help that EOIV is out the same day as Rayman Legends.

I'm definitely buying Rayman Legends. Loved the demo.
 
Rayman is very good in co op especially. I loved playing the demo with my girlfriend. Definitely one of the high points of the WiiUs current line up.

This is why urls that don't actually hint at what they are should be banned here. I'm especially looking at YOU, youtube links!

I didn't love the demo, but I thought it was solid, and it's a sequel to perhaps my favourite game of last gen. Does it support remote/nunchuk? This is one of those games that I'd like to play with a relaxed, split-controller stance.

What's wrong with nintendo guys?

All these games not announced to Wii U:

Metal gear Rising
Bioshock 3
Crysis 3
Dead space 3
Metal gear phantom Pain
Tomb Raider
Dishonored
GTA V
Dark soul 2
DmC
Resident evil 6
Dead or alive 5
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
Far Cry 3
FFXIII:Lightning Returns

And there is so many.

Nintendo lost there Magic again and again to get 3rd party , i don't know why even Mr.reggi promises us to get many game and still nothings showed up.

That's mean start from now Wii U will be only 1st party supported for next generation or nintendo will do the magic very soon.

Nintendo bring all control type and good mid range GPU still we get nothings .

I think in the end this is nintendo mistake and 3rd party do there job very well , i remember when Ps3 coming even with hard development get so many support.

I wish my thinking wrong in the end and nintendo will solve this very soon.

Been trying to play BLOPS 2 online but I realized that all online services aren't working. Any scheduled maintenance time that i'm unaware of?
 
Uh..so has it been mentioned that Miiverse got updated? You can now chose between New Communities and Favourite Communities. When you enter a community, there are 3 buttons: Favourite, eShop, and Settings. Tap settings to chose whether you wish to see spoilered posts or not.

There's also New Posts, Popular Posts, and Other Communities..the latter of which seems to be greyed out.

Also, when you scroll down, a button appears that takes you back up to the top when you tap it.

The layout when posting is different now as well.

Seems better. Is it?
 
Also this has probably been asked before.

Can I play Wii games online on the Wii U with the Wii mode?

I can't seem to play, but as I said previously in this thread my Wii U has problems matchmaking online, so I don't know if it was that.

Never tried myself but AFAIK the only broken online feature is Wii Connect 24. So it should definitely work.

Only online game I tried was brawl and it worked fine.

First time I tried matchmaking it was taking a while so I quit. Tried it later on and found a group within 30 sec. Hit or miss.

It is really a downer that some people are having a tough time with online connectivity. Mine connected instantly and downloading updates and Miiverse updates have worked pretty well. I have yet to try online, guess I can only try S&S Racing.

I have had to restart my router 2 times though as my user turns orange and nothing internet related works.

Games: Nintendo Land, NSMBU, S&S Racing, ZombiU, Trine 2, Nano Assault Neo, Ballon Fight

I've concluded that my Wii U hates being stood upright. I was getting connection drops every few seconds last night. Normally, changing my router's channel fixes this but no luck.

So I put the console flat (which is how it was up until yesterday), and the drops immediately stopped. I also cleared some more room around it by moving my Wii and PS3 a little. Everything seems better so far. I notice Netflix shows in HD right from the start whereas a lot of the time before it would be stuck in SD.

Oh, and before I repositioned everything, my Plaza reset to the original one with the Nintendo Miis/icons. Again. -_-;
 
NeoGAF mobile is wicked fast on the gamepad. Faster than Chrome on my Galaxy Nexus.

BUT stuff like espn.com load quite slow. I'm assuming the Javascript engine is to blame??

Has anyone in the US bought and used the following headset?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...5089&skuId=6891368&st=Wii U Headset&cp=1&lp=1

I've found it in Best Buy a few times. For $20 I'm considering picking it up. It has a mic attached but it's on the cord not the headset itself so you don't see it in the picture. It was either this or the pair below which is between $35 and $50 depending on where you go.

I got the $20 headset. I have to say it has good quality for the price. Sounds quality is very good. I really like playing with the headset on even if the game doesnt have voice chat.

Edit: The stereo sound is very clear. I was playing Black Ops 2 today and I noticed gun fire sound was coming from different directions. Best $20 bucks headsets out I'd say.

It's good for the Price. I was considering getting it myself, since employee discount. But Then I was curious and plugged my P11 Turtle Beaches thinking "Hey, can't be much different than the N11's we sell" and they worked just fine. Though the split in the cable is too far down the line that causes me to have to be really close to the console, nothing a USB extension didnt fix.

On personal note: Now that I've got internet at my new place I've become quite addicted to just going to the Miiverse and posting and commenting on just about everything.

It stinks. I bought and tried all three of those, the rocketfish, the turtle beach, and the tritton, and the tritton kunai wins hands down. The rocketfish one was very disappointing, not particularly comfortable, and had a horrible slider mute instead of a switch. No boom mic either. I returned it immediately. The turtle beach ones are alright but the tritton felt much more comfortable and seemed to have better build quality.

Any headset with a 3.5mm jack will work but if you're determined to buy something specifically Wii U branded, I'd highly recommend the kunai.

Is this USB? I don't sit close enough to the Wii U to use a USB headset.
 
Will any headset (with mic) work with WiiU or will I have to buy a special one? Also, this is a dumb question but does the gamepad have two jacks (one for headphone, one for mic). I never bothered to check.

Any mic will work. A lot of people seem to be using the newer ipod headphones which have mics in them. There's only one jack for the headset/mic
 
Anyone know if I can copy saves over to the Wii U without transferring everything over? I moved the Wii into my younger brothers room, and want to continue playing Xenoblade specifically on the Wii U.
 
I am really starting to be impressed by the Miiverse and spending more and more time there. Some of the drawings there are top-notch.

Youtube app, on the other hand, is the single most disgusting thing I have ever seen. I took a shower after using it.

Can't say for certain, but I'm pretty sure you can only do it via homebrew.

What's so bad about it? I didn't even start it up because of the bad impressions I've heard. Youtube via the browser works just fine.

I used it to clean up my LED screen with 1080p video for crysis 3 :)
 
Why Wii u & 3DS still getting few demos?

Total Wii U games released more than 40 , Demo we get only 5 until now.

Any idea why nintendo very slow with Demos.
