My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Try "NibbleChildren".

that did not take long
I read that as "NippleChildren" and wondered how you thought that was any better!
If I send a friend request, does the other person get notified on their Wii U? Or do I have to PM them on gaf and let them know?
Also, do Miiverse posts get moderated after their visible or before? Because I just saw Yoshi saying "smoke weed erryday" and I doubt that got past censors, haha. Unless Australia is more relaxed

If you ask through Miiverse only one person has to send. I still think Miiverse and your friend list should just be one app.
Oh ok, we'll that's better than nothing. Still a bit odd though that it's more complicated through the actual friends list.

why can't we have a swapnote thing on Wii U so I can send a message to all my friends on my list?

A lot of this console's features were obviously undercooked to get the system out in time for launch. I'd be surprised if we don't see something similar in the next couple of months.

Thought you had to register the Wii U system serial number to get the 160 Club Nintendo points.

In just a few hours time, I'll have my Wi U Premium Pack. This shall be a glorious day!
The wah-wah's will be heard all throughout the building!
Any tips on increasing the range on the Gamepad? Mine is awful! I can't even go to the next room
It all depends on how your home is designed, wall material, etc.

Nope. You link your Club Nintendo account and it registers automatically.

Tried to add you, but I think you have your Friend Request's button blocked. With other users I am able to hit the Friends Request button, but it looks like you have yours set up to not accept FR requests.

That's not stuff I can change, lol.
For anyone who is wanting tips, I just tried moving the console away from the TV and got a few more metres out of it!

Yeah. I just found out from my wife that I needed to setup the friends list from the Home Menu. Got it done, so I should be able to be added now. Ugh.

Would you stop spewing this garbage? That 1.8 gig for Mario U took me 30 minutes to download and I have an internet with less than 1 mb/s, and it only took a couple of minutes to install.

remove as much wifi interference as possible

I was under the impression that the eShop was going to work for all devices.

Yep, it's just me having shitty download speeds from just Nintendo's servers. Only me. We'll just ignore every other post about the terrible download rates on this forum and others. Will that make you feel better? I guess I just imagined the long install time of the game and updates of other games. And why would I imagine that? Ohhhh right, according to you I have a "vendetta against Nintendo". You can't make this kind of paranoid shit up.
A simple google search turned up MANY experiences similar to my own. Perhaps you can go shake your cane at these people too:

I guess just like Miiverse going to Smartphones I remember reading you can buy stuff from there
okay all cleared up
wish it would update faster to get all these things.
hope they don't try that Yearly Fee thing
Thanks! On the GamePad side, the console side, or both? Would changing the wifi channel help?

Well, both. It's making a constant connection between the base unit and the pad. My router is in a closet just outside the room my console is in. If I walk next to that closet, which is a mere 10 feet away from the console, the connection dies. If I walk 10-20 feet from the console in a direction away from the router, the connection is pretty solid. If I go upstairs in a room directly above the console, connection is perfect. Just gotta avoid things that will cause interference. Routers, bridges, microwaves. Also dont bury your console in an entertainment center.

I am not having overscan issues at all, I've got a Panasonic Plasma and its always set to 1:1 (can't remember name of option).
Our main router is kinda far from the Wii U but in my room (where I'm trying to get good coverage) I have a bridge. I can easily switch it off to see if it works better though. Wouldn't be too bad to switch it off when I wanna gamez in my room
Thanks for the tips! I'll do some experiments.P.S. Your avatar always cracks me up.

Definitely mess around and test things. Simply putting the Wii U higher in my entertainment center increased the distance I could roam upstairs before it finally died. And Blue Yoshi likes a nice butt rubbing.

depends on the level on interference how many Wi-Fi / Waves around you, the more populated areas get less range

What kind of BS is this? It's impossible to download 1.8 gigs in 30 min with a 1 mb/s connection. Do the math.
Unless he means he's getting download speeds of an uninterrupted 1MB per second (60MB per min 1800MB in 30minutes), but judging by comments about Nintendo servers, I doubt this is possible.
Menu > setup > other settings> 16:9 overscan.

Speaking of overscan issues, when I'm in Wii mode it has a black border on my screen since I do 1:1 pixel mapping. Is there any way I can get the Wii mode to fill my screen?
It is almost comical at this point: Nintendo really has a myriad of issues to fix with the Wii U firmware.

You can use cheapo iPhone headphones w/ mic like I do. Just plug it into the GamePad.
Nice, thank you!

High speed internet connections are rated in megabits per second. So 1mb/s is actually 128 kbytes per second. That's only 230 megabytes in 30 minutes.
Connected my wiiU dirct to my TV as all my receiver inputs are full of more deserving surround choices. I have an ARC compatible TV and receiver so I can pipe audio back down the HDMI to the receiver - but unfortunately it only seems to support stereo PCM. When I do the surround test I only get a couple of notes through. Need to check later to make sure it's working ok, and to see if I can at least force PLII on it
