What is going on. I finally have everything physically set up but when I got to the point of syncing my game pad with the system, this test screen appeared on the game pad screen.
Has anyone experienced this? I tried googling this problem but I wasn't able to find anything.
It's funny, this is what the temporary dashboard looked like it seems, before third-party received the real one (well, with other parameters than on this list). I assume the graphical dashboard is tied to certain of those functions displayed DOS-style, it's normally hidden, and you managed to make it appear

That only swaps the screens on the gamepad! it doesn't allow you to control content while looking at the tv screen.
No, says so right on the back of the controller box.
what?! only hard drives with its own power supply works on Wii U?! thats really disappointing...

There's a port setting option. You can choose HDMI or non HDMI. Choosing one turns off the other. Using HDMI I attempted to run audio from the component cable but my receiver wasn't receiving anything from the Wii U.
That's accurate. They support DVRs, but not receivers. Do they not run everything through receivers in Japan? It's stupid oversight imo.

I've been having numerous network problems with it thus far, including connection error messages when I tried to send messages to friends and do video chat. Got the video chat to work eventually, but seemingly no rhyme or reason to the errors.
Seem to be a lot of software bugs need to be worked out.
Also, on another note, Netflix does not seem to support 5.1. :/
Also, seems like the no receiver support with the gamepad is correct.
I'm certainly glad I'm not falling for the same mistake I made with the Wii.

Does Amazon Instant Video not work yet? It doesn't tell me coming soon or if I should do anything when I try to run it.

Audio forced down HDMI if you wish to use HDMI for video, yet no TV remote support for receivers?
Hahaha, jesus this company is clueless at times.

Do wii games look any better when playing through HDMI? I know there is no upscaling but I'm wanting to know if they look better at all. I was always disappointed with the Wii's video output through component. The Gamecube's component image was noticeably better so I'm hoping Wii games look better through HDMI.
It's Nintendo.
Half baked ideas and half executions...on EVERYTHING.
It's wild.
If Sony or MS launched something as poorly as this, they would never recover. But Nintendo is the lovable goof that doesn't do anything right.

The short answer is yes.
Wait if you arent sure yet, but i'm not really seeing any unhappy impressions.

Someone please see what product information says if they have this bug
Works the same as the 3DS then. Normal max bright, and then it goes one more step when plugged into a charger.

THe notifications app says they are still yet to come, they are just placeholder icons for now

If you go to the E Shop you'll see it says Coming Soon for the other apps.
Netflix takes forever to finally hit HD when connected to my TV, but looks fine on the Pad. Not sure why I'd ever use the Pad for Netflix though. I must have really good walls in my house because I lost connection to the Wii U when I was less than 10 feet away.

I guess the WiiU is more popular? The old Wii launch thread only has 76 pages.

That will never happen because cunts like 4chan would use it to organize users to spam other communities. This will still happen but I'm surennintendo doesn't want that shot happening on their own service.

I havent given it the update yet (No need for me yet) and I love it so far. Nintendo Land is fun so far and thats just trying games myself. Gonna get some friends together later and have some more fun. Im holding off on more games til I read plenty of reviews and find good BF deals.
Yeah but how many active users did GAF have 6 years ago compared to now? I bet it's a significant amount.

Just wondering if anyone has had issues with the loading screens freezing. I ended zombie-u so I could go to the Wii-U menu and it's just sitting on the Wii U Menu. It's been like this for 5 minutes. It's happened twice.

Thanks for the definitive answers for questions 1, 4, 5 and 7. Looks like I'll have to buy another external drive, but the system update stuff is good news.
It's weird that no one is reporting about whether Wii homebrew can be installed in Wii mode, but I read that homebrew won't be kept over from a system transfer, so that's question 2 half answered.
For question 6, about cross-game chat, I've read that there's a way to send private messages to specific friends on Miiverse, which could serve as a solution, albeit a very weak one. The lack of this feature, and of party chat entirely, is a bafflingly huge oversight.
Thanks for the impressions on eShop download speeds, and though I'd like hard data on them, it's not a pressing issue for me unless Wii ethernet adapters become hard to find.
The answers on screenshots seem contradictory; can anyone confirm whether you can post screenshots to Miiverse, and give an impression on how robust this feature is (whether you can do it at any time)?
I'm still confused about the last question, but this post makes one of the big reasons I was asking moot. Still, does this mean that the gamepad must remain on even if I'm playing a game using only a Wii Remote or Pro controller?
Question 3 is by far the most important of the lot for me. I don't understand how an account system exists, especially with another layer of "users" on top of it, but doesn't allow you to use that account on different pieces of hardware. Isn't that the entire purpose of an account? Seriously, I need some clarifcation on this.

Okay so now watching something else (netflix on ps3) and the wii u is off, but now for the first time ever the volume will go up on the tv for no reason every few minutes. The only thing that has changed obviously is that making the gamepad the universal remote... It's really annoying.
