GAF is delivering like Dominos in this Wii U launch period.
terrible threads and posts delivered by surly gen-y punks?
that's actually a great analogy!

LOL, the hits keep on coming. Next time release a fucking finished system Nintendo.
The 360 burned and the Ps3 have a 1x Bluray reader. Every console have problems. Its not really a Company thing.
Call me when the Wii U's start catching fire like the 360 power bricks did. Till then, it's hardly a disaster... just a little disappointing.

I thought PS3 had a 2x BR drive that was 1x when watching movies...or is it the other way.
damn good pointNintendo were wise to launch now, this is as close to the holiday as they can push it. As for waiting until next year, their hardware is gonna look old-hat when the other systems get announced. Their hands were forced, I don't think anyone can blame them.

The power brick thing was actually an original Xbox problem.Wait, when did power bricks catch fire?
Have the people experiencing lock up issues downloaded the update? I haven't done the update or seen a lock yet, wondering if I might be better off waiting for the next update.
I recall several issues back a few generations.Dreamcast launch was particularly gnarly (lots of game discs were duds).
I never heard of this before, I had a DC at launch and 7 of the launch games. All of them fine.
The first big problem with Dreamcast began when several games released upon launch were faulty. Clearly, this was because of a strict 9-9-99 launch date leading to shoddy manufacturing of many of the game discs. Some estimates claim that as many as one out of four versions of Sonic Adventure and Ready to Rumble – two of the jewels in Dreamcast’s crown– was totally unplayable. The official explanation was that one of their game copiers had gone out of calibration, though this means little to a gamer who can't play his favorite game on his brand new game system! The bigger problem: some of the discs affected were Web Browser discs. Quite a few initial buyers were unable to use their system's modem at all. It didn't help that the Web Browser was a packaged-with-system item; getting a new disc was very complicated.
Had every console at launch besides the WiiU. The hard lock thing sounds like the worst launch of modern ara. Though I think the N64 was the worst only for there only being two games. I mean I like Mario and Pilotwings too but that was crazy.
That's a good launch feature right there.
I thought PS3 had a 2x BR drive that was 1x when watching movies...or is it the other way.
Dev accounts I've read imply the WiiU drive is merely 2x also, if true it's a far bigger travesty than PS3 being 2012 and it has a tiny hdd. Haven't seen any hard facts tho

Same for me . I played on and off for about 6 hours...everything was smooth for me. I jumped around with 4 different games.Haven't locked up once.
But they could also have waited I think. "Just" spend more money and use stronger hardware and launch later.
This has now happened to me:
-Every time I try to play Nintendo Land. 5 times now. So...I just can't play Nintendo Land.
-Once on Netflix.
-Just now while playing BLOPS 2 multiplayer.
I'm stunned.

Had 3 -- THREE freezes that required me to manually reset the whole console by unplugging it from the wall.
what is a hard lock? Is it system freezing/crashing?
Do you think the powerful GPU is overheating?
I think it's likely (because I'm an expert in Japanese culture etc.), that they rushed the patch job out of the door to meet launch day (probably an allnighter too, given how no review outlet had it the day before). This seems like a classical no time for QA.Nintendo must have known this problem was there.
