No hardlocks in two days of heavy usage *knocks on wood*.
Been enjoying it very much so far. Browser is great too.

ok, my wii u just crashed for the first time. I was downloading Nano Assault Neo and using the browser. Looks like the system decided to download directly to my usb drive, and there was something wrong with that, as the download failed and the drive can't be found again. I guess I'll have to get one of those y cables for the usb-drive...

It's amazing how a bit of an internet issue can cause the Wii U to go absolutely haywire.
In two weeks and 40 hours of gameplay I had two lockups. This morning, my internet connection started acting wonky (I screwed up the entry of my static DNS) and all sorts of issues popped up. The Wii U told me it failed to download a new system update. It hard locked three times in the Wii U menu as well. Absolutely insane. All within an hour or two.

If you still have that Wii, yes. You go through the Wii-to-WiiU transfer process (there is an app on the Wii U menu that begins this). Anything that's not on the Wii's internal memory (like titles stored on an SD card) you'll have to redownload from the Wii Shop, but your saves will transfer since they could only be stored on internal memory anyway.
Not surprising... I've seen how successful Pac-man Vs could be with friends. One of the people I played Pac-man Vs with decided to buy a Wii U (first console since PS2), and I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with this memory. He asked my why they hadn't tried asymetric gameplay since (I couldn't find any reason).
You have quite a lot of control (well hidden) in Wii Tennis, but since it's timing-based and there's a "default" behavior, it's really difficult for most people to use it, resulting in a very basic game.

Where is the club nintedo code for the wii u deluxe? I have a little card but no code in there. Don't see one in nintendo land either
Link your eShop with CN and the survey shows up sometime after. Nintendo Land 50-coin survey shows up a week after.

there isn't one. go into the eshop and you'll be asked to sync your club account. then check the club account page a few days later to complete the survey and get the points.
When you link your Club Nintendo account to your NNID/system, the coins and surveys whould show up on your Club Nintendo page.

Holy shit.
3 days it's taken. THREE DAYS.
I used the free trial of Connectify which is here.
I tried a bunch of different hot spot programs as well as doing it manually and this was the only way that worked. It's simple as hell to set up too.
Now I just have to wait another two hours before I can do anything with my Wii U ._.

thanks for the answers! shoulda known. I never registered any of my games and just now started. I'm at 530 now without the wii u and nintendo land in.
edit: anyone experiencing problems connecting to the eshop?

I haven't played Wii Sports long enough to notice that. If it came to motion games, we always played tournaments of Wii Play Table Tennis.
Always ment to try Pac-Man Vs, I even owned it for a while, but neither I nor anybody I know had a GBA to get a round going. Hopefully there will be a Championship edition with this mode integrated for the Wii U.
I've never got to try Pac-Man VS but Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles and Four Swords Adventures are some of my favourite multiplayer experiences.
They were a pain in the ass to set up but I had some amazing nights with friends fighting over rupees and combining fira spells.
Those games are basically why I bought a Wii U.
And now I really want Nintendo Land.

There's a monolith soft project in the jp launch window, I wonder what it is
I hope it's Xenoblade 2

The more I play it, the more I like it.
I hope E-shop will get third-party love it deserves. That, coupled with first-party efforts and, hopefully, expanding functionality of OS/Miiverse/pad will make me one happy owner. All other third-party stuff I'll play on 720 or PS4 and that's my gaming covered.

About the same I plan to do except I'll do with the PC. I get the majority of those third party on there for cheaper. Have to look at the ps4 and 720 to see if it's worth it.
You need to use the transfer software which you can download from the Wii shop and an SD card - it's explained in the Wii U manual.
I have just used it to tranfer data and game downloads from both my Wiis - its really easy to use.

Would you guys recommend Nano Assault or Mighty Switch Force? I like both types of games just not sure which one would be the better bang for the buck.

Has anyone had the Wii front end day they've been playing Mario? It works for other games but not Mario. My friend reports the same.
Bug maybe?

Not sure what you're asking.
Random access time is the main problem, not throughput - and this is an equal problem on all platforms, that's why many games are better when installed or even explicitly offer an optional install package on 360.
Apparently, developers can't cache to disk on the Wii U at the moment, which is a bit of a problem (although the fact that much more RAM is available probably doesn't make this as problematic as it could be).
Did anyone noticed the color temperature on the gamepad is pretty different from the TV?
On Mario, the greens on my TV are really colorfull, like in #00FF00 green.
On the gamepad, it's much darker, and personnaly, I think it's better on the gamepad. Is that only my TV fault? I know about the option for the gamepad and yes I turned it on, but still, the difference is very noticable, for the Miiverse logo for example too.

It all depends on how your TV is calibrated versus how the GamePad is calibrated - in all likelihood, your TV is off

Yeah that's it. I know it's nothing really, but it's kinda weird that it never shows Mario. Shrug.
Yes, it is quite noticeable. I thought about changing my TV to match the GamePad, but I think I prefer the temperature on my TV, so whatever. I'll live with it.

Hmm. Yeah, mine only says I've been playing Black Ops 2, even when I'd played Sonic Racing, Mario, or NL more recently.
I bought both.
Oh, I moved my router so it was closer to my console. Fixed the problem :/
Still, my 360, PS3, PC and one don't ever have the same issues as my Wii U

Same here, I thought it possibly might go by what you've played the most though.

Maybe there is a delay or its down to total time spent (although it doesn't say that).
I have tons of games on the SD-card, but can't play them after transferring. Do I have to delete them all one by one and then redownload them one by one? Will my saves be deleted too, or can I keep the old saves?
Is it possible to delete the games from the SD-card from my pc, perhaps, so that I don't have to delete all of them one by one from the Wii settings? I have well over a hundred games on it, so doing it game by game will take many hours.
What is this option on the gamepad about and where is it?
Can I set the gamepad so the colors look more like the TV?

There we go... first hard lock. Motherfucker, I thought I'd gotten off lucky.
Was in the middle of Black Ops 2 when it froze up on me.

I'm sure this has been asked lots of times before but I'll be damned if I can find it. Basically the Wii U is for my daughter (and me!) for Christmas. While she is not here I am installing the update so that we can avoid all of this time wasting on Christmas Day. Anyway once the update is done I may have to just check that a few of the games work before I w rap it back up.
So my question is, after I have 'tested' that its all working okay, can I factory reset the console wiping out any personal data and game saves etc?
Also by doing this it won't remove the huge update will it?
Enlighten my fragile mind!

I believe there is an option to do this in settings. the very last option, I didn't pay much attention to it, but it did say something about deleting data.
I'd be shocked if any reset deleted the system update though.

Okay, after three days with the system I'm starting to get annoyed by the WiiU menu's slowness and the seemingly random freezes.
Miiverse doesn't start when I boot it by using the "Show Profile" action; I have to use the Home-Button menu to get back.
But at least these are my only concerns.
I just bought Assassin's Creed III on the eShop and will download it over night. Nintendo be blessed for the "Shut down console after finishing downloads" function.
Also Miiverse is the best gaming oriented social network out there. I really love how it's similar to Facebook but without the stuff that makes it bad.
I had a drawing removed because it apparently violated the Miiverse terms of whatever. It didn't, but I think they are just being over protective right now. Whatever though, could be worse.
So yeah, I love Wii U. Don't care if it's underpowered or not. Time will tell what this console is really able to produce.

I haven't tested it yet, but it would be very strange if you can reverse the whole firmware with a simple factory reset. That would be heaven for hackers
You'll probably lose all data, but the firmware will stay

Damn. Nano Assault is really good-- if not a bit too unforgiving not far into the game.
It also feels great with the game pad.
