Has anyone picked up anything from supermarkets in store. I have to get one games and I refuse to pay what game charge. I went to one asda and they didn't get anything at all.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

When it's cheaper. I've heard bad things.

The only bad reviews I've seen are from garbage reviewers

Did they have systems there?

There are certain aspects I'll love and certain aspects I'll hate, so it's a bit of a gamble.

Besides, three games is enough and they're all ones I can play with my missus! I will be getting it before Christmas.

 

[MadmanUK]

FFS amazon why do you use HDNL? It's been out for delivery since 7 this morning!

 

[disco]

Where do I find my Wii U system Club Nintendo code? I had a leaflet explaining what Club Nintendo is that came with the system but no code apart from a random code on the back that doesn't appear like the other codes I entered (Nintendoland and NSMBU). The random code has dashes in and when I enter it I get an error on the EU CN site...

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Should I get one guys?

I've been looking at the Amazon page for the last hour or so...

 

[MANGOD]

Waited till half 4 for delivery, connected everything switched it on and nothing. Tv is on, console is on nothing. Switch the gamepad on which actually works with the message turn on tv and console. First console i have bought doa, RAGING

No. All they could say was they expect deliveries between now and Xmas.

I'd say if you mad keen on it you would have pre-ordered one by now. Otherwise. Just wait until early next year. There should be more games available and the firmware updates would have fixed most of the bigger issue by then.

[Dark-Cloudz]

Need a relatively instant response if someone can give me one.


How much is NSMBU on the wii shop UK, got 40 mins to go out and buy from sainsburys while this thing is updating if it is expensive.


Thanks!

£49.99

 

[Dark-Cloudz]

Thanks bro. So if I get credit back for that with the deluxe, it makes it about £46.


are the supermarkets selling it cheaper?

Fair enough. I'll remove it from my basket...

You're just like me. I've had the tab open in Chrome for like a week now. It's torture.

Amazon have the premium back in stock, but I would honestly go for the basic. GAH this is terrible. I can't sleep easy at night with this torment.

 

[MicH]

£200, delivered on date. God bless Amazon. <3

Exact same stuff I got. Really enjoying Mario so far.

Join us......

 

[dc89]

All that for £200?! Or was the premium console £200?

 

[Ein Bear]

Kind of pissed off, have just phoned TNT to ask why my packaged hadn't arrived. Apparently their driver clocked off before getting to mine, so I have to arrange re-delivery. When I said I wanted it tomorrow, the guy told me that it would have to be next week some time, then suggested that I drive to their depot to pick it up - which is 30 miles away.

They're phoning me back in half an hour to let me know if a delivery tomorrow is possible. Lord help me GAF I'm actually tempted to drive over to sodding Rotherham tonight just to play this thing.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I am not UK GAF, so therefore I am inferior, but Zombi U I have played a lot of Zombi U, so I figured I'd throw my opinion in here that it's the best launch exclusive I've played since Mario 64.

If you can get past the slow nature of the game, the high difficulty and the purposely clunky battle system, it's absolutely fantastic. If you don't like that sort of thing, it's not for you.

SEE NOT ALL OF US PLAYS CALL OF DUTY, OORAH, 'MERICUH

 

[woodsey1982]

Console on!

Just downloading the update at the moment - surprised it controls my Sky box as well as my TV as I've had trouble in the past getting my sky remote to control my tv.

My three year old is itching to play sonic racing, he might make me buy Mario at the weekend too!

 

[kitsuneyo]

£200, delivered on date. God bless Amazon. <3

Got the same stuff too. Waiting for it to update, download keeps timing out.

I got a similar story with DPD on the phone but then tweeted them about it and now it's out for delivery tomorrow before 1pm. Good luck!

 

[Screenboy]

Got mine (Sainsburys) in the time they said they'll deliver, just powered on and im really impressed thus far. I opted to download the update to which im now rregretting as ive stared at the same screen for 10 mins with no progress, is there any way to cancel the update at all?

 

[JimboJones]

Well, shit. It actually arrived.


Downloading update D:

 

[woodsey1982]

30 mins later and the update has downloaded. A lot better than I had previously heard - was expecting at least an hour.

 

[mr_lakitu]

Just copying over the best way to adds friends from ign. It sends out a request, they'll accept, you're done:

One-Way Requests

The is by far the easier method, assuming you know where to go. Making a friend request cannot be done through the Friend List. It must be done through Miiverse with these steps:
- Load Miiverse
- Go to User Menu (upper-left corner, with a small picture of your Mii)
- The fourth option down says 'Search User'
- Type in the name you want. (Say 'RichIGN')
- The name must be specific (though case is not important)
- View the profile
- Towards the right side you'll see the Friend Request button, near 'Follow' and a drop-down arrow that allows you to Block or Report.
- Want to request another? Head back to your User Menu.

 

[Robin64]

My update is taking a lot longer than the 30 minutes people here are saying.

 

[Steph_E.]

I set up my Wii U, connected to the internet and said no to the update. After two hours on Nintendoland went to see what was happening and the download hadn't even started - what happened to it supposely automatically downloading in the background? Anyway, it is now downloading the update after I instructed it to do so - it has now been downloading for two and a half hours and is only halfway there. I originally setup a wired connection but the Wii U lost connection with the servers after an hour, so I decided to try the wireless connection and it is still appallingly slow. (I have a 6Mb/s internet connection)

You said no. No means no in rape cases and updates.

Anyway. The flap at the front of my WiiU is constantly slightly open Anyone else have this?

 

[DaSorcerer7]

finally got mine..updated ...nnid: DaSorcerer7 ..good times ahead.

 

[BGBW]

The courier hour begins!

Good thing I didn't take the day of work eh, otherwise it would have been a complete waste.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Why is there nothing to buy on the store ;_;

 

[Hagi]

Went in to GAME to get Far Cry 3 today and to have a look and see what they were doing for the Wii U release. Holy fuck at the prices for the games like ZombieU, did not expect to see games going for £50 plus. Glad i've not got enough money to buy the Wii U this year, hopefully the prices will even out by then.

Hope everyone who has one is enjoying it.

 

[Robin64]

There's load to buy! Try Nano Assault and Trine.

 

[MANGOD]

I've said it before. I couldn't be desperate enough for buy a game from GAME. Not at release at full price. Ha ha. No way.

Don't worry too much, that's just GAME, back to their money gouging ways. In Grainger Games (a games chain in the north-east) the highest priced game was £42.99.

 

[Milpool]

Well it's been out for delivery for 7 hours now, it'll be here any minute... yep...

edit: just got an email about the Wii U premium pack and missing copies of Nintendo Land, with an included code to download from the eShop.

 

[cyberheater]

I have the flashing blue light of death, REGGIE AM I GOING TO HAVE TO CHOKE A BITCH!

What?

What does that mean. What is the fix?

 

[panda21]

ppl who didn't get nintendoland, check your email

 

[Steph_E.]

You said no. No means no in rape cases and updates./QUOTE]

Not according to everyone else on here.

 

[MicH]

Holy shit way, did Amazon just send everyone who bought the Premium pack a free eShop download for Nintendo Land because some didn't get it in the pack? Damn! Not sure if I should use it, as I did get the game in my Premium pack...

 

[Hagi]

Yeah i'm the same i only ever use them to trade in games now.

I just thought it was pretty wild albeit not wholly surprising. We've only got that shop and a new Game Centre who didn't even have any shelf space. Prices on Amazon are really what i expected on the high street but i guess i forgot how backwards they were lol

Gimme some Zelda U and i'll jump on this straight away.

Yep. Just got the code too. Weird.

 

[Dextl]

Just had an email from Amazon saying that some premium packs were supplied without Nintendo Land, and to download it from the eshop using a code. Anyone else received the same email?

 

[Deband]

Is there a UK list of ID's? Need some friends

 

[kharma45]

Yay finally

 

[Nilaul]

If someone doesn't want the code, Ill gratefully take it.

(probably gonna be out of money for the whole Xmas)

Maybe I should say that my WiiU came without zombiU, then we can swap.
