It shows its not a priority. Might be other stuff missing day 1 too...
I thought he was referring to Dec. 30th. Which would make sense with Nintendo, as they tend to delay their updates and shit until the last possible second. Although it'd probs be Dec. 28th for real because of their standard Thursday update thing.

Bill Trinen listing Nintendo Services, explicitly including Nintendo TVii, and saying "connect to the Internet on Day One for a system update that will give you all of these." Posted 3 days ago.
So if this really changed, it sure fuckin changed recently.
that would be nice. it's also not realistic... not because such a thing is impossible to pull off, but because such a thing rarely happens. so it's not realistic to expect such a thing.Not really, my point here is it's a company quality control issue, not a bells and whistles issues. Remember: these companies are the ones asking you to pay $350-$500 hauls, day one for the system and game(s). Not the other way around.
If that's the case EVERY damn thing in the system, day one, should have been prepared for. Hell, not only prepared for, but double and triple prepared for. Not "oh shit we're not ready, we'll patch it up later on." That's not even counting the rush jobs because of the development kits that it looks like some of the ports have.
Lost in all of this is the people that aren't going to have the means to get the update, period. Lets not forget, Wii wasn't exactly an online friendly system, and many played it offline. I imagine a lot of kids will be getting this for Christmas, and things that have to be patched in through an online update like the TV and Wii BC things, some people just won't get them because they don't have a WiFi modem or maybe even the internet. That's a pretty shitty way to handle those types of consumers.
And we haven't even gotten to the launch to see if there are widespread issues, like the 3DS having scratch problems that still doesn't sell from Amazon by last check because of it.
Bottom line is, companies need to stop getting a free pass on shitty launches. Everything better be available day one that they've pushed for a year now as a feature. And things like the system actually being reliable and working DAMN sure better be there. They're the ones asking for money, not the other way around, and the games aren't going anywhere if you don't play them day one they're available. They'll be there a month, a year, 5 years from now on the shelf. Being new, shiny, and marketed out the ass isn't a replacement for delivering on promises, value, and making sure everything works. They shouldn't be rewarded day one if that's the case.

Maybe that's the cause for the delay? Anyway, I missed that rumor do you happen to have a link?
And a promised feature actually being delivered is just plain good business practice. I can't even get TViiiiiiii in my country but I stil think this sort "We'll patch it later" attitude sucks. Nintendo has finally followed suit with everyone else.A delayed feature will eventually be good, a bad feature will forever be bad.
It's just a few weeks anyway.
So do we still have no idea when/if the UK will get TVii?
Total bullshit Nintendo. Very unprofessional and disingenuous. Shit, in my country you'd get an arse kicking for advertising features that aren't going to be there. You've had years to sort this out.
I bet MiiVerse will be buggy or only partly done.
Looks like they're going to have to reprint all the boxes too then. Lol.Total bullshit Nintendo. Very unprofessional and disingenuous. Shit, in my country you'd get an arse kicking for advertising features that aren't going to be there. You've had years to sort this out.
But it's not a service, there is no sign up needed, it does two things: 1) it searches for content across three media content deliveries - Netflix, Amazon and you local tv guide.Had no interest in this feature but still laughable they couldn't launch the major service of this system on time

2) It's an IR blaster to change tv channels.
It's the same thing that's included with Sony or Samsung tablets.
I think people are still confused about what the TVii is.
Makes it sound like Netflix etc are apps that can be launched from within Nintendo TVii or maybe you have the option to launch them without using TVii. For example if you just wanted to go on Netflix to continue your queue or something.RichIGN: TVii ETA is "December" while all VOD apps are "coming weeks" (whatever that means). We know there's no Wii U VC (yet). eShop should be fine. ETA is "December" while all VOD apps are "coming weeks" (whatever that means). We know there's no Wii U VC (yet). eShop should be fine.
So let me get this straight, you complain about them delaying features (probably because they're buggy) AND you complain about features that weren't delayed (claiming they're probably buggy). Does anyone else see how this makes no sense? How it's one of those either way Nintendo loses things?
So do we still have no idea when/if the UK will get TVii?
Holy shit you guys , seriously , we have to wait 2 weeks for features that you can currently get on literally every other piece of technology you own ? I mean WTF do people think this is a gaming machine meant for playing videogames ?
.....
seriously you guys, has any system ever launched with 100% of it's features working 100% of the time from day 0 ? Especially from nintendo ? I'm fairly adamant that the only people who give a shit about this stuff not only weren't buying a console but are now merely looking for a way to troll the system for a couple of weeks.
They key difference is that when the PS3/Xbox 360 launched they were "feature complete" in relation to what customers were expecting and added services over time. The Wii U is launching in an incomplete state to what we were told would be there on day 1.
Oh well.
Let's play video games.

We didn't learn about TVii till the event on September 13th; so its hardly been a large priority and I think is definitely something they added later.
What does this have anything to do with the article above?
Because all of them deal with online? Nintendo seems to always be lagging when it comes to online services. I just don't get why.
Update: Netflix reps tell us the app will be available "when Wii U ships," but won't be part of Nintendo TVii "until Q1."
The little rage I had is gone now.Engadget has updated the article. Netflix support for TVii will come even later it seems.

So we'll have netflix... just not it integrated into TVii at first... because TVii isn't out at launch.
So not a big deal just got made into even less of a big deal.
