Hmm. So I want to try out the Wii to Wii U transfer thing. All my Wii VC stuff is on my SD card. And I doubt all of it would fit in the Wii internal memory. So what I have to do is get a second SD card, put all the VC titles I possibly can on the internal memory, and start the transfer? And then the rest of the titles that weren't on the internal memory I have to re download them again through the Wii Shop channel, right.

That's pretty much it. I tried to fill up my Wii's internal memory with games by increasing order of size to minimize the number of download trips to the store.

I've noticed that if you have nothing else downloading on your network it downloads so much faster. I was downloading my digital game informer on my iPad and as soon as I stopped that download it went like 3x's as fast. Could just be my experience.
Gave up on Zombiu after my 6 hour survivor was killed then i died again while going to recover my satchel......started Darksiders 2. Feels different to DS1 but just done the couldron and enjoying it. Looks great on the gamepad, but noticed a lot of tearing on pad vs screen.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Didn't the game have an early issue with exiting to WiiU dashboard? Something about people having to shut down the console or somesuch? Speaking from memories of other people's accounts here.
Disappointing but comprehensible...
... Incomprehensible and disappointing. Alas, hoping this last point gets patched some day. Thanks for the help, you two!
If memory serves, we're due for the bi-monthly Nintendo Direct, aren't we?
EDIT: Wait, no. Didn't we have a full fledged ND on December 5th? Must have been my thirst for news speaking.

It's weird, as an account system is still in place, otherwise the Wii U premium points service wouldn't work. But, for whatever ludicrous reason, your account is also locked to hardware. I'm still confident that at the very least they'll patch in a transfer tool not unlike what the 3DS has, but I doubt we'll ever see true account level software management.

It will not take that long. I had files say 9 hours that took 30 minutes its just a wonky system right now.
I have to wait until the holidays are over so I can call my ISP and mess with my DNS so I can see if I can finally get Nintendo TVii working on my system. This damn thing as much as I love it has so many shitty quirks
not being able to load Nintendo TVii was just the last of my patience with this shit.
good thing is I've been able to play my games without lockups which has been fun

Well it's now on 6% and 58 hours 17 mins, so...progress.
It's being tested by Nintendo. Right now the holiday period doesn't help though - we were hoping to get it approved and released by Friday but alas, looks like it has to wait until early January now. (Pretty much the same goes for North America, although we did make one mistake with that build so it might be a couple of days later than Europe - but this isn't exact science so who knows.) Sorry!

If you're planning on patching again in the future, an option to turn rumble off would be nice. The Wii U gamepads rumble is roughly equally annoying as cell phone vibrate, makes low volume play time kinda rough.

why don't you just turn off rumble in the gamepad settings?

Is there a way to do that from system settings? If there is I haven't seen it. I generally avoid that particular menu regardless. Dog slow to load (by far the worst culprit) and not alter able in game.
Last I checked this particular game doesn't have it in the options menu, though other titles do.

I could be wrong, but I would imagine it's in the Home menu.

Yup. Home Button > Controller Settings > Gamepad > Rumble Off
I'm a bit surprised to hear this... I only spend 5-6h in Wii mode, playing Rythm Paradise, and was pretty surprised to see that everything were going smoothly. The fact that you can power-up the Wii U and launch the Wii mode with the wiimote and that putting the disc suggest the wii mode were quite nice.
It may be one of the reasons, but definitively not the only one. When I download my firmware, I switched off or unplugged everything in my house, I even disabled DHCP leasings in the router, for no benefit. Still over 5h of downloading.
But my friend list and settings and save files
Can you change your NNID country? I don't think you can.
The shop becomes unaccessible if NNID and Wii U countries don't match.

Wow 5 hr. I don't think it's on nintendo servers end, I believe the wiiu has trouble with certain routers or people's networks. It's like when I have my wireless turtle beach head set on, my Apple TV quits working. Just could be interference in general, Tvii didn't work for my brother until he unplugged the sprint cell booster that was hooked up.

you click home button it is on the botton left controller settings you click that and turn rumble off not a big deal for a developer to waste time on when you have 2 clicks to turn it off

To be fair, they haven't even made that game yet. So that download time is pretty sweet.

Havent been following the thread really, but have a quick question as I just set up my wiiu. Is anybody else having trouble downloading the system update due to not being able to connect to the server? I'm in Australia btw.

USA here, my update just failed. I shut down the console. Not interested in dealing with this now.
noo, works perfectly

Downloading the update seems to work now, but the server still drops out occasionally. At least the system retains the downloaded data every time it happens, so it could be worse.

Among the worst pop-in I've ever seen in a game. The game can be cheap fun but the pop-in is so bad I cannot recommend supporting this port with money.
Thanks. I wondered if it was something like that. Basically a load of bullshit.
I'm glad someone else said something about this. Man, it's hard to believe they released the game in that state.
Thanks for the help so far fellows, so far the list is this. I'd like some more info on what type of multiplayer these games have that I haven't added.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (VS)
Trine 2 (Co-Op)(Story)
Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper (Co-Op)(Story)(VS)
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (VS)
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (Co-Op?)(VS)
Assassin's Creed 3 ?
Ninja Gaiden 3 ?
Mass Effect 3 ?
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Co-Op)
What is "pop-in"?
Oh, and this game doesn't support Miiverse screenshots.

When objects/terrain "pops" into the scene. So you're walking around in the game world and a tree shows up from nowhere.

In video games assets are ideally only drawn/rendered when they're on the screen. Sometimes games are poorly optimised, or too demanding for hardware, and you get asset pop-in, where objects will appear out of thin air when you're in range of them rendering. Simple and common example: npcs in sandbox games. They only actually render when they're close enough to the player, even if you can see for miles. It's necessary to prevent the framerate tanking.
Warriors 3 has such atrocious pop-in optimisation that enemies will render in and out of existence even in the middle of a fight. You can be right in the thick of a big group and the edges will disappear/appear as you rotate the camera, even if they're still technically on screen and close. You can run towards a mob of X size, only to find them tripple in size when you're in fighting range. I've been trampled by horseback units in their charging animation because the game didn't render them until they were literally one foot in front of me. A battalion of horseback soldiers appearing out of thin air on top of you.
I'm pretty tolerant of framerate and graphical oddities as long as shit still works and is consistent. Warriors 3's pop-in is so bad it actively hurts the game's design. Low standards will tolerate it, but I think the port is horrible and not worth support.

BO2 has Zombie mode Co-Op
AC3 has VS and Co-Op
NG3 is Co-Op
ME3 is Co-Op like 360/PS3
Remember the Halo 2 "texture streaming"? That is pop-in
Hasn't this always been a problem with Musou games?
