Not sure why I didn't say it that way before.

It doesn't seem like Activisoin actually sent out review copies for BO2. So...

We don't know about receivers IIRC but on your TV, yes.
uh oh?
Hmmm... K.
Would like to move my Harmony 880 up to the bedroom, but doesn't seem I'll be able to.

I'm still keeping my pre-order. But it'll stay in the shrink wrap while I play NSMBU. That way I can just return it if it is a mess.

Why does everyone always assume the Wii U cannot control receivers, when they are told we don't know if it can?
Nintendo hasn't really gone into detail about the TVii remote at all, and they embargoed review sites from talking about the details until the 18th. Right now all we really know is the thing uses IR, can turn on your TV and the Wii U, change the channel and volume, change the Input, and control cable and satellite receivers. We don't know the specifics of how you tell it what type of TV you have (cable box you tell it where you live and what cable company you have), or what other various equipment it might control.
Yeah sounds like a good plan, especially after what happened with Ninja Gaiden and Mass Effect ports.

Pretty sure there are no embargoes on the games. But many sites (like IGN) are refusing to review any game with a serious online component until they can test that component out, and online won't be enabled until the patch on the 18th, even for reviewers.

I microwave steaks.
Same situation as you, nothing. I guess they're either shipping them tomorrow or early monday, I hope it's the former!
Is there any link to an online version of it?
Really wish there was a detailed breakdown of games on the e shop at midnight. I really don't get why reviewers aren't allowed to get the update and see some of the online features. Hopefully the servers are actually working, I'd prefer to jut have nsmbu on the hard drive but I don't want to wait all night with ridiculous dl speeds that aren't my fault.

Yell at me if this is old, but I just noticed NoA updated the Built-in Software section on the website. It has detailed pages like the JP site for Miiverse, Internet Browser and more.

So I'm torn between what game to buy. I'm getting ZombieU and NintendoLand for sure but I don't know what other game to choose. I haven't played any of the ports, I would get COD but I won't have online for awhile so that's why I want to choose something else. I really enjoy the Scribblenauts games but I want Tekken as well. Is Tekken worth it if I can't battle online?

Right after I decided I would rather pay the full price and have Mario digitally, newegg processed my order. I still may just buy the digital and return the physical for another one. That game will get heavy rotation, so it needs to be immediately accessible at all times for me.
That's at odds with what we've been told. Specifically the Nintendo TVii part being here.
Hmmm, in the chat section it says you can pause your game and take a call...I thought iwata said we couldnt do that?
Sooooo keep it next to your system?

First we've seen of the non-mockup/placeholder eShop I think?
This shop is so much better looking than any of the others they've had.

I like this
*You can adjust the setting so that your online status is invisible to friends from the Friends List settings.
Does anyone actually use a feature like that?

Yeah I like the invis option. There are times I just want to be left alone to my gaming. I like the mention of a missed call list to so when you are out or whatever.

That's more informative than most of the stuff I've read so far. Good catch.
Best part about it is that it's clean and consistent with the rest of the UI.
I reckon the ability to pause the game without quitting was their initial design goal, though they probably encountered some issues which led them to delay that specific feature. Hopefully it's added in at a later date.

so woke up at 2am been watching this dude http://www.own3d.tv/messaffect/live/400562
wish he was playing something else
wish he was playing something else
Yep. I'd love for him to put some Mario on. I turned it off when he did the Donkey Kong level for the hundredth time; put on some C-SPAN instead.
Realistic thinking: That's wrong and the game does close, as Iwata implied.
Positive thinking: Iwata was regretful that you couldn't take a call while continuing to play, in a true multitasking sense.
(I'm aware that the Iwata Asks said "終了/shuuryou/end")

Some person here said Toys R Us will have extra units.

He has 556$ in balance. No Nintendo Points? Great!
Oh and is the day 1 update already live? Is there material from the eshop or miiverse floating around?

Faster and more convenient to keep in digitally, plus I'll get a little bit back with the rewards programs and have less clutter.

Should definitely have a Nintendo Network ID exchange thread. Who wants to make it?
lol if true.
Game looks so unspeaking. Glad Rich isn't doing the IGN review, cause he's in full fanboy mode
Either this is very much a unique, acquired taste, or it really IS Red Steel all over again afterall.
There were even oohs and aahs when they started doing the pink baby Yoshi balloon thing (after taking a bit to coordinate just to pick them up in the first place), and Fallon was geeking out over Mario in HD...which did look pretty nice seeing full screen on TV at 60fps.
I think the biggest thing Fallon said was pointing out that along with Mario and stuff you can also get others like Black Ops 2 and Zombi U (the camera thing shown last time Reggie was on).
Unless someone uploads it themselves it'll be up on the show site some time in the morning I guess:

IF that does happen, Ubisoft launch titles will officially be a part of the sonic cycle.

Is anyone else getting Warriors Orochi? I havent heard much about it but im still looking forward to it.
I just like the fact you're just going "yeah" to any comment. It's like the most half hearted endorsement you could make.making up new words for that Webster Dictionary
Honestly, they really should be. Ubi LOVES to rush a lot of stuff only to improve it in future iterations later on. Even if GameSpot's ZombiU review is an outlier or it's one of those acquired tastes (... or their equivalent to IGN's God Hand review?) Rabbids definitely seems like it's something using a familiar IP to get on Wii U day 1, and going by the other multiplatform releases I'll be surprised if AC3 can even hold its own relative to the other platforms. Really wish Nintendo went for an inarguably stronger CPU to compliment the GPU whether or not it stood up to the next Sony/MS platforms, but then that may not have done anything to stop these poor ports.
