- 1GB day one firmware update via slow servers.
- Individual updates for every single game so they can access Miiverse.
- Slow, laggy operating system menus.
- Almost if not every 360/PS3 port has inferior visuals and/or performance to their current gen counterparts.
- GamePad and pro controllers unusable for character control in NSMBU multiplayer.
- Crashes/freezes.
- User accidentally accesses debug version of main menu.
- Another user accidentally access admin control of Miiverse, reading messages from one of the Miiverse creators/programmers.
- Nintendo IDs tied to systems, no option to transfer yet.
- Audio/video tied to HDMI or component, no option for one on either.
- TV remote control does not work with receivers. Therefore if you wish to use surround sound via HDMI, you have no TV GamePad control.
Most unbelievably mangled console launch in history.

Do they email you the code?
Had an insane weekend of live music. Saw some great break beats Friday night, just some local Brisbane guys, Saint Surley and Monster Monster. It's a shame because one guy is heading off to the UK for 2 years, but I'll be sure to head to more gigs from Monster Monster.
Sunday was Harvest festival. Despite the threat of rain, hail and lightning it was one of the best and well run festivals I've had the pleasure of attending. Highlights were Silversun Pickups, Mike Patton, Ben Folds Five and Sigur Ros. I sang "I have got to be a poncho maaaaan' all day and by the end the threat of torrential rain and hail wasn't enough to wipe the smile off my dumb music loving face. Live music, you guys!
Next up I'm seeing The Living End perform their self titled album in full, in December. So excite for 90's world!
Wow. They're not handling this HD thing real well, are they?
Accidentally accessing the debug version of the main menu... you can bet the jailbreakers and hackers will be onto that like a fat kid on cake.
Well that sucks... =\
I have Foxtel anyway, so I doubt it would work with that.
Also that debug stuff is hilarious, can't believe a random user was able to access it!
BEST CONSOLE LAUNCH EVER

And now the guy who has admin access or whatever is posting screens outing upcoming games? Yoshi and MGS?

That thread on the debug version is gold. Every single person is advising the OP to go nuts deleting things

I assume that thread is easy enough to find? I wonder if the guy who found it made just how he did it available.
Could be the quickest time for a console to be hacked *ever*.
lol... the best advice I can give is to watch youtube lets plays. There are some ok ones out there and that is the best way to learn by far.
Some advice though to get your started:
1) Begin a game as a King of a small country. I recommend Denmark.
2) Always make sure your council are doing things and are the best people from your court, it makes a difference.
3) Ensure you are both married and have a male heir. Super important. You never want to be without an heir for too long as bad things start to happen.
4) Make sure your heirs are married or have an appropriate betrothal in place. Look for people that give you alliances to powerful nations or give you a leg up in giving you a reason to go to war.
5) Fabricate claims and push your luck in battle.

Reggie - "Hey should we put more than 3 guys on this WiiU thingy we are making? I think it is meant to be out in a few months or something."
Shibata - "Nah just make sure there are only 3 guys at FoxConn producing them. I'm sure we will sort something out by the time Miyamoto wants to put out a game on it."
Iwata - (laughs)
Farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk youuuuuuuuuuu
Holy Shit!
Soul Hackers!
Bundle that shit Nintendo!
I will buy 2!
The RPS review of Hitman has led to me not grabbing it from GMG on special. Will buy on Steam Sale next Easter. Maybe. I'm a bit actioned out after BLOPS2 and 007 Legends (fuck you Eurocom).I was a little worried I might cave this week and order a Wii-U, after today's 'feature' announcements there is no way that's going to happen, wallet saved
Oh and Hitman and WD ep 5
I think every launch ever went better than this.
Beck, Sigur Ross and Mike patton were the highlights for me
found the silversun pickups to be a bit bland.
also saw cake who were ok, nothing too amazing (too much new stuff) and dandy warhols who were alright.
missed out on fuck buttons due to a long toilet lineup after beck
Dammit, now I feel like a doughnut.

Aw man the whole thread has gone to shit now. Thread of the year though.
5 gig patches and debug/admin access though?
5 gig patches and debug/admin access though?
Oh sure, it happens on PC and everyone is super happy about it. Nintendo does it and the world is doooooooooooooooomed!
That is quite the impressive list when laid out like that.

It's not even slightly the same issue though. You're comparing an open platform to a closed one. If it happened on an iPad or Windows RT it'd be the same issue.
Seems like Nintendo has fixed it, but still, not a great sign. I'd like to point out I'm still thinking about getting one. I'm not anti-Nintendo by any means, but to say this is anything less than a fuck up is pretty ridiculous

Oh shit, didn't take this one in properly, so games media can't use the same account at home or at the office unless they bring the physical console with them?
Can you chuck the saves onto a USB or SD card and use them on another account?
Seems fucking insane to be honest if you can't.
No one is ever super happy about it.
Also, never happens.
Yeah, that too.
I hate that trophies killed transferable saves on PS3.

Me and the missus are going to TLE for the same show! Which one are you going to?
You know markot. You should try harder.
Sometimes you take an all the fun out of an argument.
