It is. Full Safari/ Chrome developer tools, available remotely via PC.

Thought so.
Just thought it was worth an ask.
Playing DKC with a pro controller and the gamepad is pretty nice.
I hope we get gamepad support added in future updates or DLC.

Probably just preparing a survey about the update
A site going down to put up a single survey page? You know that's not how websites work...

Sure. Oni_Link
The wording makes it sound like it sent a straight up friend request and doesn't mention any of the friend code-like stuff.

The update is finally installed and all that good stuff. Loading games and apps is much snappier now; Even more so, returning to the Wii U Menu is a breeze. Settings still drags a bit, but it's not the snooze fest that it was previously.
I read people noticing new eShop music, but it sounds the same to me.

That would be Trine 2.
Finally. Manly tears.

I dont think so, it recognizes the input and flashes a message.
I gotta feeling it will be in a future update.
I wonder if the wiimode will eventually get phased out.

Trine 2. Also how is everyone posting those? I know it's somewhere in the thread, but the thread has gotten quite big quite fast.

Never seen past firmware threads for the other consoles or something?
Beautiful!
Post them here so I can find them later! http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=688391
In game, go to the browser, upload them on any image upload site. Post them here.

Yes. The Wii U Gamepad sends inputs over WiFi, Wii Mode only takes inputs from Wii Remotes (and Wii U Pro Controllers/PS3 Controllers with Homebrew) over Bluetooth.
You can post screens via the browser on Wii U now. Just need to go to an upload site, upload the screen, and share away.

Is anyone else noticing this as well?!?!? I hope it's true.

But it recognizes the inputs?
I sorta joked about how at least we'd get a roughly native resolution display albeit a very tiny one, but once you get over the "very tiny" part it probably IS preferable to playing on the TV for some people. Granted the Wii U upscaling events the field considerably but I imagine some would still prefer something that's actually roughly the Wii's resolution.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
wii games are upscaled you dont need a SD tv

Confirmed! The friend list does not require friend code-like registering of each other anymore and lets you send real friend requests.
i seen an option when i was logging in to have nintendo automatically download demos and software. that's brilliant. you know a lot of the casual players aren't going to want to fiddle with the eShop for stuff like Wii Sports Club. if it uninstalls those demos routinely and replaces them with fresh demos - genius.
Mii says Hi.
Pic from New Super Mario Bros. U (TV).
Why the fuck is there a Mii in a Mario game?
Ugh.

I'm working on it. Update is at 73% installed. We need to confirm this 100% since Vook is saying 1080p screens are go.

Worked! When I saw your post I went to the home menu, and the Friends List icon was pulsing. Got a notification saying I had a request, opened the list, it asked if I wanted to view it... Said Yes, tapped your name and accepted. Done.
Yeah, it downsamples them all to 720 sadly. Oh well. Better than it was by miles!

So the pricture thing is cool and all, but shouldn't it be abstracted a level or two higher? With its current implementation you have to leave game, open the browser, go to an image host site, sign in, and finally upload the picture if you don't want a low-quality miiverse pic. On PS4 and Steam, you hit one or two button and you're ready to share.
not the main game, just for challenges. calm down

Just played some Mario Kart Wii on the Gamepad in bed... worked great.

There probably is. The pad uses proprietary wifi instead of Wii remote-style bluetooth.
The Wii innards don't speak pad language, and even if they did, it's likely that the pad is different enough from a remote that you could get some erratic behavior if you faked it.

Yep. Much less confusing than having it work differently on the Miiverse and the Friends List.

Only usable in challenge mode. Other than that, you can't use your Mii in Story Mode.
A Wonderful 101 picture. I don't think I'll be posting images in Miiverse anymore.
Thats what i'm starting to think lol. We might see alot less images on miiverse.
Or at the very least, less images in that miiverse thread.

Imgur doesn't require a log in btw.
Again, for anyone having problems with Imgur on their Wii U, use the mobile site m.imgur.com
I'm more surprised so many people are just now discovering there's a sensor bar in the gamepad.

Do you mean the "You can't use the Gamepad to control Wii Games" message you get if you try? The Gamepad probably does that locally, like how it can display the universal remote stuff locally.
Edit: I don't know if that message comes up on the TV too though. If it does, then it's probably a reaction to having any WiFi input then, which is certainly less complicated than taking in a conrol input, figuring out what it is, and associating it with the proper Wii input while always emulating a Wii Remote + Classic Controller Pro Bluetooth connection.
