thanks. I might pick it up if I can find a copy for £35 or less. would prefer less, so might wait it out a few weeks to see if it drops in price as fast the xbox 360 / ps3 release did.
Gaffers, Lurkers, Playas, Pimps:
my NNID is Nibellum, just like my Twitter account - add and love me. I'll try to add some of you when I find the time later
BTW, this console?
Could become the new king in Local Gaming Land
You need to activate the Friendslist first, no request possible.
Would be wonderful, but seeing that it can struggle to run modern pcs (well, i3 budget systems at least...) with a steady framerate I doubt it would be a nice port. From Software is not really known for optimization which this game would definitely need (as the other consoles struggle with keeping 20>fps as well).
Went to my local Tesco superstore last night to get some new work shoes. Checked out the Wii U section.
The Wii U section consisted of NSMBU, Zombi U and Fifa, priced at £42, £45 and £45 respectively, muddled in with the Wii chart.
That was it. No consoles. No other games. No POS. No accessories. And this is a store with two aisles dedicated to games.
Well done Tesco, you bunch of incompetent plebs.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I still don't have a survey on my AU Club Nintendo :/. My Club Nintendo account is linked in the eStore, and Mario, ZombiU, and Nintendo Land are all registered, but no survey to confirm and register my system.
Lame.
Lame.
Oh God How Did This Get Here I Am Not Good With Wii U
Wait. How do you register Zombi U? I don't see a pin# insert in the case...

It really doesn't make much sense lobbing all of Europe together like they have. Almost half of all messages I see on my warawara plaza are in languages I do not speak. At least in In Miiverse i can change it to 'Americas'.
On that subject, it only just hit me yesterday just how much the Wii U is essentially a giant 3DS. Not just in terms of the two screen dynamic, but the OS too.
Yup. I originally suggested it may be called WiiDS (can you imagine the epicness of that crossover appeal?) although it could be read as "weeds".

Has anyone here got the turtle beach ear force NLa headset? Is so what do you think.
Zavvi are doing it for £20 now so tempted.

Silly question time.
On the home screen of the console, you can swap around the menu and your Mii from the gamepad... however the gamepad always controls what's on your pad, not the TV. Can't I use the menu on the TV?

I ask this as well! Why can't I navigate WaraWara plaza when it's on the TVscreen??Silly question time.

It's bizarre the dedicated app can be so much worse than just the browser.
Though I mean the app's biggest problem is just loading times - makes bothering to figure it out a chore.

I feel like Miiverse works half the time whenever I try to post something while pausing a game. It just perpetually loads when I try to post something and I have to hit home button and go back to the game. I hope they fix that.
Getting slightly wound up with the UK pricing. Everywhere I've looked has NSMB for over £40. Fucking hell.
I might just get a £50 Eshop voucher from GAME and use it to buy it digitally. I have £12 points on my reward card, so it'll only cost me £38.
I could get the retail copy, but I think that's £49.99 anyway. So yeah.

Heh.
Well, the support for the proper YouTube site is absolutely brilliant. So its a non issue, really.
I've hidden the YouTube and health warning apps far away on the last page of my OS.

You can with a wiimote
If you want, you can also delete the YouTube app in data management (you can re-download later on the eShop). Unfortunately, the same can't be done to the Health Warnings app - relegated to the last page by me as well

Seems it requires a Wii remote.
I'm interested in how standing on the GamePad to act as a balance board will work!

you might as well. mario games never drop in price until the next iteration is out and even then the drop isn't as deep as expected.
for example. you can't buy new super mario bros for the ds for less than £15 and there's a sequel out as well as another super mario game in super mario 3d.
it's insane how they keep their value.
£38 is a good price for the game. I'm just glad I got it for £25.

Why take a chance hoping the gamepad can hold your weight when you can just use the balance board?

How retarded.
Same with Sainsburys near me.
No consoles, Zombi U and NSMBU for £44.99 each.
No point of sale or advertising.

doesn't nintendo have to buy advertising space and stuff in the store? maybe they decided not to do it? or am I thinking of something entirely unrelated...

It means the person has played that game.
I wish we had websites we could stream things like that in the uk, just get not in your region when you click on sites like that. Ahh well, browser is indeed very good very impressed, also like it pops up if you have went in from playing a game so you can easy search for it.
I'm not sure. I know in some stores, mainly electrical stores or departments if you see say a Samsung 'Hub' with all their products on, they pay for that.
But there's not even a ticket which says anything remotely like 'there's a new home console out and it's called Wii U'. There is nothing there to stop a mum or dad unknowingly buying NSMBU and presuming it works on their Wii.
Nintendo probably have all sorts of point of sale stuff available. But it's poor on Sainsburys part.

By curiosity, I visited a large outlet here (FNAC), which is a popular place for shopping (books, CDs, DVDs, videogames, etc.), especially during holydays.
There was a huge pile of consoles (PS3 packs, 360, half a dozen different Wii packs) all mixed up, no Wii U inside.
Most (if not all) Wii U games were available, but in the Wii section. Not a single Wii U advertising, so I'm wondering how people will guess there's a new console and that half the game on display won't work with their Wii...
Many Wii U accessories (protections, Wiimote+Nunchuck+Sensor bar kits, Stands, etc.) but all lost in the Wii accessories shelves.
I have NEVER seen such a mess. That just plain stupid.

Sounds like Nintendo have learnt nothing from the 3DS. When that launched it was all just muddled in with DS stuff (it still is in some stores).

oh definitely. as supermarkets are now the biggest games retailers in the country, they need to be more aggressive with their console sections. both actively promoting new games and new consoles, not just advertising the latest call of duty or assassins creed.
if they don't, the uk market is going to a lot less stronger than it is now. we desperately need competition. hmv can't compete, they are struggling to stay afloat, the less said about game the better, that only leaves supermarkets and the very few indie stores that are available. cex is good, but not everyone wants to buy games used.

Best price I've seen thanks to the Amazon thread.
May have to bite since Mario is unlikely to go down in price anytime soon.
Only benefit I can see with the app is HD playback, unless I'm doing something wrong in the browser. But navigation and speed were rather terrible. The only reason I went to the manual because I was hoping there was an easy way to look at someone's channel. I'm guessing there isn't.
On a different subject, I was wondering... I've yet to experience a single freeze (fingers crossed).
- have european players also got freezes, or did they manage to include a fix in the first update?
- are US players still getting freezes now?
- is this problem limited to a small (?) percentage of users, maybe because of a hardware problem? I was under this impression by reading this topic, even if it's difficult to say because most of the time, people without problem won't say much about this...

I'm in the US and I haven't had a lock up yet. I'm waiting for one to happen since it seemed so wide spread. I've been watching YouTube, playing neo assault, and ng3.
