@pswii60 Yeah the controllers limitation on NSMBU is ridiculous, seriously, just WHY?
The game is great, don't get me wrong, but when I realized that I couldn't play with a friend with me on the Gamepad and him on a Wiimote, that we both needed a Wiimote, Man I thought this shit was lame. Not making the Pro Controller compatible felt the same way. I mean, Nintendo released this controller for people who would prefer this over the Gamepad/Wiimote and doesn't make it compatible with their biggest selling launch title? ...ffs.

So since my premium bundle didnt come with Nintendo land - Amazon emailed me a code to download it free off the eshop.
I would have preferred this disk..
Oh well
i can trade you the game for the code if you want.
...nevermind, you're probably in europe.

I just got the email too and my Wii U hasn't been delivered yet. I was worried about potentially missing the disc, especially because it's supposed to be a Christmas present, but it's great to see them be so proactive about it.
Nah I think it was before that, it sat there for 2 hours before I thought let's pull the plug.
I was thinking about this last night when it comes to the Wii U UI. I went to organize some of my icons as its getting a bit messy on the main page and to my surprise Wii U doesn't have OS folders?
I mean this was huge when they added them into the 3DS. How could they have left them out of the Wii U OS since the OS's are so similar.
oh nintendo, you silly bastard! Give me feature parity between my OS's!
Because there is certain waggle features that must be used

Thanks but it didn't work for me. I'm at a loss. 103-2001 is haunting me. Everything works up until that point. The DNS is fucked up. I tried the one I got from my computer using ipconfig /all, didn't do much good. Crap...
(EDIT) Hahaha holy shit. I can connect using my phones hot spot. So I do the system updated and get a 105-4206. Worst fucking online experience ever. Wow.

OH NO YOU DINNIT!
Waggle? I thought we had seen the end of Waggle! I was really looking forward to NSMBU due the Mario World references :-(

Its still absolutely amazing and there isn't much motion reference in the game. It actually works fairly well with the pink yoshi's. Its not a deal breaker I would definitely still get it and play with the wiimote!
Of course you can. Big button in the Home menu under controller settings saying "Turn off gamepad display" or something like it. I used it several times today playing Mario U.

If you're refusing to get Mario U because of motion controls, you are so fundamentally against slightly moving your hands in two stages near the end that I am shocked you can pick up the controller at all.

Yeah, but the moment you press a button the display comes back on. This is a PITA for games like Assassin's Creed 3 which don't really require it's use at all (though the bigger map is nice at times). Would like to be able to just turn off the display and use it like a regular gamepad so I can get a few extra hours of out of it.
I'm at 25%, already 1h30... T_T
Definitively not my connexion, btw.
Anyone else experiencing VERY long downloading times ?

Update now installing. I ran into server problems so close to the end, bah. But all good now. First impressions: man the console is small. I was surprised, that the gamepad is almost as big as the console itself. Unboxing was pretty exciting, don't know exactly why. Somehow you feel like a little kid again. Other than the update and first Mii creation, I've seen nothing yet. A first qualm I have is that the setup was for right handers. That felt a little awkward.
We sold 10 out of 10 Premium Packs and 6 of 8 ZombiU Packs today. Not bad, but we could have sold a couple of Basic Packs as well if we had them. Everyone except two people bought NSMBU, and a third of the customers bought AC3. Also sold a few extra ZombiUs and a FIFA, along with a couple of Pro Controllers and Gamepad Accessory Packs. The other third-party titles haven't sold yet, but we still haven't got CoD and Tekken, which we have reservations for. A nice launch for a toystore in a small Norwegian town - now the hunt is on to get in more systems. Hope to get at least 10 more Premium Packs and a handful of Basic Packs next week.
I did the update 24 hours ago. It took exactly one hour to download, and exactly 10 more minutes to install. The servers are probably hit hard right now.
Right. I thought playing on the TV meant playing with the Wii remote. He's talking about NSMB U after all. I just use the remote and turn off the gamepad.
You can link your system to your club nintendo account when you go into the eshop, then you need to go to the club nintendo website & fill our the survey thing to get your stars
Eh? As soon as you press a button on the GamePad the display comes back on.
I haven't got a WiiMote. I sold my Wii donkeys ago. And why should I need to buy one? Why can't it support the Pro controller? Why can't it let me turn the display off while playing. Again, simple stuff. Not asking for much.
This probably isn't what you want to hear, but if you intend to be a Wii U owner, you're going to need to have at least one Wiimote. Pro controller has zero motion control, and there will inevitably be many games which require Wiimotes.
I'm not excusing the lack of Pro controller support for NSMBU, but this is advice you should heed.

Doesn't the game use tilt? I know NSMBWii did. I don't think the Pro Controller has a gyro inside.

I thought my gamepad was faulty. the rumble is so weak compared to the rumble in the 360 and ps3 controllers. I hope that can be adjusted in future.

Is there a way to cancel the system update? It's taking forever, I want to play my Wii U before it's time to go to bed

Dude, it's alright. You don't have to ask me all those questions. I don't have the answers. I didn't say you'd have to buy a Wii remote. I figured you were playing with one because you play alone and without needing the display of the gamepad. That was my situation. I didn't even consider that you might not have a Wii remote. But yes, you are right, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to just use the pad without the screen on. Even worse in my opinion is the fact that you can't play a two player game with one gamepad and one remote. You *need* to have two remotes. That's just fucking stupid. There's really no reason why it has to be like that and the gamepad suddenly becomes useless once you add another player.
From what I remember you have to have a TV to set up the first part.
After that you can just use the pad.

unfortunately, you can't. once you start the update, you can't cancel it.
If it's new, it'll be difficult.
To synchronize the U Pad and the Wii U, you need to type 4 symbols on the pad that are displayed on the TV screen.
Do you feel lucky? There's only 256 combinations
I don't remember the screen being really useful besides this, and once installation done, you can switch TV screen and U Pad screen.

What?! Oh wait, she took it from you?
Probably, indeed... Good news for Nintendo, I guess. But a bit frustrating...
Can you cut the sound ? After 2h (33%, yeah...), it's getting annoying ^_^
