Wii U Release Day Thread

Not open for further replies.
I had the same problem for a long time. Finally got it going by manually entering everything, and make sure the numbers in the IP after the last period aren't already occupied by another device. You could +10 or whatever to the last digit to be safe. For example if it's 1, make it 11. Or 12 or 13 or whatever until it works.

You mean changing it on the PC or ,,make up'' these numbers on the WiiU? Last period already is 11, going by the data from my cmd so I guess I should try out the 20s or something until it works?
 
Probably something something convertion rate. Either way we get screwed on the eshop

classic nintendo. sigh. oh well, it's not like I was going to use the store anyway. well, not until they allow for account migration.

Are different stores running different offers/prices or something? All Games barring ZombiU were £50 or less, nearly every title was "Get me for £25 when bought with a console" and the initial bundle for me was £350 for Deluxe, any game and start protector pack.

I think they must be. I was taken aback when I saw it listed for £54.99. maybe it's a launch day thing with the prices dropping after the weekend?

that's the deal I took advantage of, £350 for the zombiu bundle and then £25 each for assassins creed and super mario.

don't EU sales charts come one per week?

will we know sales numbers next week?

Yep, charts will be out on monday, unsure if they cover Saturday and Sunday, can someone advise?

I expect Nintendo PR beforehand on monday morning.

Update is at about 70% after half hour for me, not as painful as I feared.

Something about taxes maybe?

Played some NSMBU today and well, first world is nothing special but challenge mode seems so so so so great. Played only few courses but this has immense potential.

I mainly bought WiiU for ZombiU but launch in Poland seems to be even more botched than usually, the shop I ordered from said it's a miracle they even managed to get a couple of consoles. Sigh.

I need to play some more with Miiverse later on.

Yep, that's right. If it's the same as the comp it won't work. Just keep changing the numbers on the Wii U until it works.

Your router sets a range (usually 50 or so) that devices can connect to. It's likely a few spots are already occupied by other devices you have, so you just have to find an empty one, within your routers range, to connect to.

Leave the gateway as is, however. Only change IP
 
After Christmas I'm planning on getting a hard drive. Does the WiiU let me move my current things over or do I have to re download everything?

What the hell with the gamepad camera controls in Nintendoland? I like the up/down, but the twisting is just weird.

The gamepad is very comfortable to hold, but if I hold it so my fingers are resting on the triggers and my thumb is comfortable on the right stick, it's difficult to reach the main buttons.
 
okay, I lied. I want trine 2. how much is it and has anyone bought it yet? how is the performance? any issues? can you play it on the gamepad?

speaking of which, how amazing and clear is the gamepad screen? I was blown away when I first turned it on. I can't wait to see what mario looks like it on.

Trine 2 is currently £10.99 but will go up in a few weeks. I'm buying it as Mighty Switch Force isn't available.

I've heard good things about it, and how it looks epic on the gamepad. I'll add you on my friends list and perhaps we can get some Trine 2 multiplayer on some time!!

is the pro controller essential for games like dynasty warriors and ninja gaiden? i read that the big time controller can be unformfortable for those, but i'm not too keen on buying one just yet.

Quick question: I just bought trine 2 , downloaded for a couple of minutes, paused it and closed wiiu because I had to
Leave. When I open my wiiu again and unpause it, will it continue the download where I left it?

thanks. that's just above the price I'd be willing to pay for digital games, on the wii u, but I think I'll take the hit this time.

oh definitely. I'll post my id as soon as the update finishes and installs. it;s currently at 35% or thereabouts. bloody hell, it feels like an eternity. I want to play zomibu and mario dammit, hurry up.

I really don't understand the disparity in download times. I'm on a 10mb/s connection and it just finished after 40 minutes, just installing now.....

The twisting bit is really cool IMO
 
I want a digital copy of Nintendo Land but since I already have the disc I need a sale come on Nintendo Drop it to $5

I'm really liking the YouTube app. Maybe because of HD twins I only had 360 that insisted on dying every few months so I have barely any comparison, but it's pretty neat.

You can move everything from the Wii U to the HDD and vice versa anytime. No need to redownload your games

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Woot! My console has arrived.
Waiting for it to warm up as the box is extremely ice-cold.

YEEEESSSSSSS!!! I FINALLY got it to connect to the Internet! THANK GOD! Phew... Updating now!
What'd you do in the end? Just curious if it aligned with what I did.

Wait miiversie is region locked? most of the games communities are tiny on my uk wii u?.
Pretty sure you can switch regions easily? I haven't done it, but I've heard. The Aus/Oceanic one is pretty good.

some games have merged data while others keep separate counts you can jump from different regions the tab has EU Japan Americas just jump between them

make sure your settings are not blocking regions as well

I'm on a 16mb connection with bt. I wish I understood why there's such a disparity. a friend who bought his at midnight downloaded the patch in just over an hour and was gaming most of the night, while I'm stuck on just over 40% now.

gah. >.<

I was at the midnight launch yesterday. Pretty fun stuff. Mario was there.

Anyway. Got a nice goodie-bag with a hat, gold coin, etc. But most importantly my Wii U. Came home sometime past midnight, and started playing around with it. Didn't try a game before I updated. Then I fell asleep. Now I'm at work. 2 more hours. GAH

I didnt look at the clock yesterday but i set up the update ate dinmer watched a bit of ipl and everything was dandy

Download and install took maybe 1 hour
 
Mine finally arrived at 10:15 this morning!

I'm such a big kid, I spent the first half hour putting it next to all of the other Nintendo consoles, putting all the controllers I have for every console together and putting it next to my two 360s and ps3 for photos! Then because i thought why not ended up whipping out my handhelds and Psone etc. This despite having already seen people do most of that already on the internet!

I'm so happy it controls both my Sky HD box and my LG TV! It'd be nice if I could control my LG receiver (which controls my LG TV too) but I'm not too bothered.. amazingly easy setup!

just doing the update now. I'd booked the whole day off work but I might go in for the afternoon while this does its thing.

My brother moves back after a year or so of living away tonight so I'll be able to have a proper play session with the family
tonight! :D

full disclosure: I am 29 years old. Don't feel it. Love console launches!

I.. I don't really know. I restarted it a couple of times to no avail. Then I decided to set up a different setting and that.. somehow worked even though it had IDENTICAL data to the first one.. Weird.. but yay!

Do you have to wait for the pad to charge before switching on for the first time?

Sweden here. Got my premium bundle earlier. Gamestop had this amazing offer where I got ZombiU and Darksiders 2 both for only 30 extra euros.
