Any update when the December update is suppose to hit?
Same, I'm not at home right now but I'm sure I saw it post-update.

24MB/s is impressive. Which vendor and model is that? My 32GB Kingston DataTraveler 100 G2 does only 3.3MB/s, not even a class-4 SDHC equivalent (and I have a bunch of class-10 here which all do 14-16MB/s).
So I got my Game Pad in, Nintendo said they replaced it, except with this replacement I'm noticing the sticks are little bit looser and the right stick has an issue where it isn't smooth like the left stick. It's grindy when moving it on the edges. Bleh. It's probably not worth the time and effort to do this again so I guess I'll just deal with it. =/
If it's just loose or misaligned sticks, could be a pretty easy DIY fix
I hope it is. I have waiting to DL it.
What's a DIY fix? *edit* Nevermind. Do It Yourself.
Wouldn't know how to do it, though.
It's not. They have retail games not sold on the eshop listed on the store and they're in a section called wii u retail games.
Dammit....oh well they wont get a sale from me until they do.

Yeah it's pretty bad. After unpacking the console, I saw some fingerprints I had made and decided to try to remove them gently with a very soft cloth. Ended up with a bunch of scratches :-/

Those aren't scratches, they're character. They let the other electronics know its not to be trifled with. It's seen some shit in its day.
Just finished Trine 2 (excliding dc stuff). Amazing game, everyone should have this on their Wii U. Probably gonna take a break from it and go back to the DC stuff later.
Barring Bit.Trip are there any other good eshop games being released that we know of? The Cave could be interesting....

The Deluxe is available online at Target.com now.

If this is new feel free to make a new thread, but I wasn't sure it was justified. Still those that can't find it locally might appreciate it.

Puddle is a cool game, uses gyro but if you like DK crash course then you should like this as it is similar.
NG is nice man. I played a bunch of off-screen play and enjoyed my time with it much more than I thought I would. Pacing is pretty damn good now. Combat is quite satisfying, too.

I'm interested in Mutant Mudds Deluxe and 1001 Spikes. Two Brothers could be pretty good, but I'm not a fan of RPGs.

TV Overscan settings are your best bet.
Back in the 30's and 40's when TV was being developed the best way to make a straight edge was to put a hole with straight edges in front of the tube. This was the bezel. You lost 10% off of the top, bottom, and sides to this. Smart game makers would not bother to render anything to this - hence black bars.
Early HDTV sets had and overscan area as well, but in the last couple of years most of them default to no overscan, or at least have a no overscan option.
It's really something that should have been covered in the ATSC spec, but it wasn't.
EDIT: My day isn't complete without a rant about overscan and the shortsightedness of the ATSC.

Well there is already a U Play app so it doesn't seem totally out of the question.
There is already Netflix, lovefilm and YouTube. I'm sure there will be more

I want to see more Japanese gamers Wii U launch pics!

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Yes, there are those but will it end up like iOS where anyone can make Apps for it?

I apologize in advance, as I'm sure this has been covered before. I just have a question concerning the Wii U and the Virtual Console.
What is the expectation for Virtual Console availability on the Wii U going forward? Can we expect to play our games straight from the Wii U menu or will they forever be locked away in the Wii mode?

Thank you very much. May you receive the love of 100 puppies.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
I'm actually enjoying AC3 even with its shortcomings. The world is absolutely gorgeous, and the techinical problems haven't been as bad as advertised for me (yet). It does have some weird ass control issues though, and something about the game just feels a bit clumsy. But overall I am enjoying it much more then AC1 or AC2.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It is expected that they will release a Wii U VC, but we have no idea on the release date.
My guess is that they wait until E3.

thanks. I'll pop back to the shop tomorrow and hope someone hasn't bought it already.

That's good to hear.
Hang on, who brought a Wii U to a queue for the Wii U? Was it Xzibit?
Pics are priceless, love mario riding Yoshi, and pikmin paying for pizza. No Luigi?

I wondered about that too.
We expect, at some point, Virtual Console games will be released on Wii U and will be playable normally, and on the GamePad. The question is if whether Nintendo will gradually migrate all or most of the Wii VC, or make the Wii U have entirely its own thing (with some crossover) like on 3DS. It also remains to be seen whether or not the games we already purchased on Wii will be made available at no additional charge if released on Wii U.

Its already been hinted we'll see a Wii U VC in the near future. As others said, maybe upcoming E3 will cover it.
How it will handle your Wii VC content is the question. If it does not carry over your current content... I'll never again buy digital from Nintendo... in fact, I haven't bought digital yet as I'm waiting to see what they do with my Wii VC stuff.
I'll understand of WiiWare stays put. (no different from Wii disc games) But VC should move along as that's the point to VC.
I have 24VC titles and play to buy quite a bit more from N64 era (now that we have pro controller) and hopefully GC era.

More pictures from Yodobashi Akiba: http://jin115.com/lite/archives/51916608.html
Good morning and good luck, J-GAF!
I visited Yodobashi Akiba and Shibuya Crossing Tsutaya last night to see their Wii U displays, and there were LOTS of people surrounding them and pre-ordering games, despite the (obviously) halted console pre-sales.
Will be picking up my Wii U from Shibuya Crossing Tsutaya at 10AM (the earliest) this morning.

Yes, I know how SDHC cards are rated. As a rule their read speeds exceed their write speeds, though - such is the nature of flash. Re that 3.3MB/s USB flashdrive - that is indeed quite slow. I also have a bunch of older Kingstons here (also Data Traveler, just the older series) and they don't have much issue reaching 16+MB/s at reading, alas none of them is 32GB big.

27 minutes left on ChesseM's countdown clock
Not as interesting as the pictures being linked to by Cheesemeister, but here are some I took at Yodobashi Akiba last night:
There was absolutely no mention of the MonHun Premium bundle anywhere. I did not take any pictures of the (actually quite large) Wii U aisle, but there was a lot of activity surrounding it.
Of note, there are still no playable demo units.
Stopped taking pre-orders on screen protectors?!
Animal Crossing still sold out!
A huge Vita display grabs lots of attention as you enter the games floor.
