Have you tried flying the ship with the gamepad yet? I only played once but it was very unintuitive when the action picked up. I think it is going to have quite a curve for me.
I love Takamaru's Ninja Castle waaayyy more than I thought I would.

It's local play only.

That's the same thing they did with the 3DS eShop.
You sure? I tried that with no luck. Unless I have to edit all of my Miis...

One weird observation...each time I put the GamePad in the charge cradle while doing the system update, it would error out shortly thereafter. But when I skipped the cradle and just went straight from the power supply it didn't happen again. Probably just an odd coincidence though.
Local Only? That is fucking insane to me that it's local only, this kind of game seems perfect for online play.It begins
You know, I didnt expect to have so much fun with NintendoLand, but its pretty good stuff.
Local only. Only online interaction it has is when Mii's visit your plaza, and Miiverse posting.
EDIT: What is funny is that Metroid Blast seems like the way Metroid: Other M should have controlled. Same with the music.
Yeah flying the ship takes some practice, but once you play for awhile, it sorta works out. Dont know if its just something you'd want to pick up and play with just anyone though.

Same here, with my first external drive I got the helpful message "Cannot format USB device", and Nintendo reps didn't even know what that meant. But I got a Toshiba Canvio because that's the only hard drive sold in the US that Nintendo has tested in the Wii U, and that worked (I just got a 512GB)
As bad as this one? From reading here and watching quicklooks it seems the system is pretty badly baked. The load times are atrocious, not something I'd expect from a console these days.
I'm personally struggling to put this launch in perspective, but it's nice to read some positive stuff in this thread finally after all the bad news. I'm probably still going to get one when they launch here (30th) but every time I hear another negative thing I wonder if I really want to give Nintendo my money at all. I do think they have rushed this thing out a bit.....and that debug menu thing?! If true that's madness.
I don't know enough about the rest of the system to make a call on the terrible bandwidth that was revealed but it's just sad to see something slower than current systems in that area.
All I think I can hope for is that some things are resolved over the next few weeks and that we get info on the EDRAM etc to get an idea of realworld top performance.

Out of interest..do youtube videos that have ads play?

That's actually a great Mario pun. How could they? A lil harsh.
Shame. That means most tv shows on youtube won't play (lets hope Nintendo go full on with apps for various catch-up tv channels.)

Anyone know if I went the reformat memory route to try to fix my game launching issue, will the NNID I made be deleted as well. Would I be able to attach it to a new profile?
I don't want to lose the gaf members I added or my digital downloads.

I cant wait for more survival horror games to hit Wii U. The duo of the gamepad speakers supplementing the TV speakers is great.
If it works anything like the Wii, you'll only lose save files/downloaded games, but your account should remain the same. Of course i'd wait for more opinions on the matter since i'm just guessing from my Wii transfer troubles.

lol I cant wait to start up ZombiU now. How can anyone post protips if they instamod any "violent" sounding comment. Unless its community specific.
Well the 3DS an Wii U use the same cards. Now they have $20/$35/$50 cards. I just plugged external harddrive in an it say it needed to format. Boom. 2 seconds and I was using it.

Has anyone seen any actual games show up in the Mii WaraWara plaza? Mine still only had the default apps, definitely not what Nintendo has shown in their videos
Awesome to hear.
Is the Wii-U shop kind of empty now? Think i should go with 1 $50 or 2 $50 cards? I have about $200 in gift cards and rewards cards and as now the only thing i can think to buy is Mario which leaves me with about $135ish. Also on the external HDD, do you download games to them and play them off it? If so are they noticeably slower?
What would the actual game squares be though? Shortcuts to communities?
There are $70 worth of eShop titles and something. Like 18 retail games. I got a lot of digital games, but they are downloading slow. I need to call Verizon. They are downloading slow to both the External Harddrive and System Memory.
Weird, mine defaulted to it.
I was laying down on my sofa playing Assassin's Creed 3 using the Pro controller and TV off. Headphones worked really well!

Like, did someone report it? WTF? No cursing, no slurs, just a common phrase that implies violence. They'll have to change that policy.
It's fine. Modern batteries like the one in the gamepad are designed to be charged often. They can't overcharge so there's no harm in putting it in the charge cradle after every use. Same as a cellphone. It won't cause the battery to degrade any faster. The only harm would be to completely discharge the battery, but modern devices shut off before you can do that.

I would assume so, and Nintendo's videos showed what appeared to be community chat showing up in that plaza around the games.
I think either someone reported it or a miiverse moderator might have glanced at it without notification. I didnt get such a strong warning (just hiding my profile comment from public users), but my profile was flagged by a mod for having "Teknoman from NeoGAF" as my profile comment. I guess they though GAF was something else, so I just sent a message saying "I did not violate the terms".
They let you send automated messages to contest or confirm the moderator comments, so if you feel it was wrong, I guess you can contact them that way.

Called the nearby stores and so far only one has an available Wii U and it's still like 15-20 minutes away from me so I know for a fact it'll be gone before I get there. Shame they don't have layaway.
Did you ask if they could hold it?

So I have been waiting on my black Deluxe 32GB Wii U at Target now. I went there on Sunday, and though I was told nothing when I purchased the pre-order card, apparently you had to show up and wait in line and get a number even if you had the reservation card. The manager told me that sine I wasn't able to get mine on Sunday that another shipment would be in Monday. I called on Monday and was told that there weren't any now, but to call back at noon when the UPS delivery came. I called back later to be told that they were gone when the store first opened at 8am even though I called at 8am and was told they didn't get any in. The girl I spoke to on the phone said that the reservation cards were only for the first day, and that now they were first come first served basically. I knew according to the back of the reservation card that she was telling me BS and asked to speak to a manager.
I read him word for word on the back of the reservation card where it says "The reserved merchandise for this card will be held at the counter in the Electronics Department for seven days after the national release date, at the Target store where purchased." This obviously goes directly against what the other employee told me where they were first come first served and I asked what he could do to help me out. He said there is another shipment coming in on Wednesday and he would put one aside for me (like what should have been done in the first place).
End Rant.
