Finished with updating at last... Shorter than expected, but still 5h...

All set (nnid is Zakath, too bad that Koren is too short T_T )

The browser is great (especially with Neogaf mobile version!) and this is a proof it's working ^_^

don't ask me for codes
Trying to add my friend but Friend Request is greyed out. Any ideas?

Go to the Friends List section first. It'll give you the option to allow friend requests. (Why you have to do that first before MiiVerse I have no idea).

I'm also getting the broken profile pic; wonder if it's just my end and everybody else sees it fine.

On the other hand, posting a drawing on Miiverse and immediately getting 2 yeahs is nice.
 
Mighty Switch Force or Nano Assault Neo? After buying some games I still have around $15 left on the account and not sure which one to get.

Common GAF, which one is more fun (can't really decide from watching the videos lol)?

Maybe an odd question, but does anyone know how much you can get for trade-in value at Gamestop for non-M+ Wiimotes and M+ dongles? I'd like to trade them in and upgrade to all Wiimote+'s with the built-in M+.

Getting fed up with not being in the Nano Assault loop so i did something about it.

Downloading now :)

Cant decide if i want to just buy Sonic Racing through the E-Shop or go to a store tomorrow.. I kind of don't want to do anything tomorrow but lay around in my sweat pants.

Finally got to play with the controller.

Yeah no thanks. Hope Microsoft or Sony doesn't go this route.

Really? Hmm. I felt comfortable with it as soon as I used it.

But I doubt either of them will. Which is one more reason why I had to get a Wii U. Not going to be able to have multiplayer experiences like this on anything else. Even single player.

Hey, that premium membership thing that comes with the Deluxe console.
Is there something I need to do to activate it?
Like a code I need to redeem, or sumfink?

Good question, I did not find anything in the package, so it might be just the console?

I LOVE the 360 controller, but the Wii U Gamepad is also really comfortable, I like it. I guess it's the button layout that weirds you out? It got me a few times but I am getting used to it. Playing ZombiU has been a delight actually - puts the thing into perspective.

Register your Deluxe at Club Nintendo by linking your account to the eShop. I think that is all you need to do.

To be honest I don't like the 360 controller either.

I think what bothered me most outside of the size is the whole concept of 2 screen gaming. A controller should be something you forget about after a few days of use, not something that you need to constantly glance at.

I tried to find some cheap wii classics and some wiimotes today. The controls still cost like $40 and bestbuy already cut their wii section down to pre owned games and a small section of shit that doesn't sell.

I want to try the multiplayer NSMBU.

It's not active yet, but will retroactively count all purchases you make when it is.

That hasnt worked for me. Not sure what is going on. Dont see the points in our account

The 160 coins for registering your Wii U? If that's what you're talking about, you have to fill out the survey that shows up in your Club Nintendo account to complete the registration.

This is the biggest thing. Where can we find the cheapest Wiimotes? I really want to try out NSMBU, but I can only justify the game with MP.

It has to be one of the most comfortable controllers out there. Was it the button lay out?
Not an absolute fan of the buttons placement, but still confortable, and I like the screen.

Playing Mario in the bed is priceless!

Unfortunately, I have a reception problem within 1m of my radio beside my bed (I think that's it because it's using WiFi) so I have to investigate...
Good question, I did not find anything in the package, so it might be just the console?
I had a sheet explaining it in the box... You have to register a nnid and connect to p.nintendo.com after mid-december.

There's no number, though, so that's either console-based or using the serial number...

edit: still need some training with the browser!

flingsmash in bargain bins, if you can find one cheap (got one for around $8, and you can maybe even resell the game)

You'll have to search a bit, though...

Yeah I guess I'll have to look around. Been trying to look at Ebay and damn prices are kinda high there too.

Edit: Does having the motion plus matter?

Wii U pad, 360 pad and Dualshock 3 are all great controllers. I could only see someone not liking the Wii U pad if they've got some tiny feminine hands.
