Are classic titles up in the eshop? (Snes,nes,etc.)
Does the Wii U come with a Club Nintendo code? Because I can't find it.
Does anyone else's Wii U drive spin endlessly with a game in the drive? Even if you're not playing the game?
No code needed just link the system with your Club Nintendo account and you'll get the points.
for amusement's sake, i think i'll walk into some stores and see if i can get one day one.
right now it sounds like the worst thing nintendo's done in years:
-low cpu, slow ram
-games in 2013? maybe?
-lack of 2013/future titles and console innards make it hard for current ports, let alone games from more powerful consoles
-every showing of the console has been absolutely terrible
-launch titles that should be here are pushed back- notably pikmin 3 which has a big question mark above its head. tells me they made it a gap-filler in their release schedule
-online is weird
-launch games are polarizing or not very good... aside from nsmbu.
and it's weird because they were originally planning for a mid-2012 launch. you'd think with an extra six months, they could have gotten their shit together or future-proofed the system a little more.
if i do end up impulse-buying, it'll probably be so i could play the last story and other wii games i never got to finish (and didn't want to risk playing on my dying wii).
My Wii U spins obnoxiously too, although it isn't really noticeable once I'm playing a game with music. It is a little worrying though, seemed a bit louder than I expected.
Does anybody know if Gamestops got stock in beyond the preorders?

Haha that's funny, I just finally tossed my HD-DVD drive into storage to make room for the Wii U.
no, I'm pretty sure its just its' fan
You know it's not a great launch line-up when the cashier tells you there's a buy-two-get-one-free deal and you just can't find three games that make it worth it. I got NSMBU and I imagine that's all I'll be getting for a while.

how is it that I can find impressions of every game except for AC3...
I've got a few burning questions for you new Wii U owners. Sorry if any of them have already been answered; this thread is massive.
1. Can just a certain partition on an external drive be used, or does the entirety have to be formatted?
2. Can Wii homebrew be used in Wii mode? Is homebrew kept from a Wii system transfer?
3. Can users sign into an existing account on another system and download content linked to that account on that system, keep any stats tracked on that account, etc.?
4. Can non-motionplus equipped Wii Remotes be used in any Wii U games, especially New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendoland?
5. What, if anything, does the Gamepad display when it loses signal from the console?
6. Is there any sort of cross-game chat solution?
7. Can system updates be downloaded in the background?
8. What are download speeds for eShop games like? Are they throttled at a certain speed?
9. Is there a screenshot function?
10. Can the Gamepad be turned off independently of the console?
Thanks in advance.
i probably would have jumped on nsmbu, need for speed, and pikmin 3 if they were all available at launch. would have held me over until rayman.
but rayman is march and pikmin 3 is spring, and nfs is next year too. so... what gives.

1. Can just a certain partition on an external drive be used, or does the entirety have to be formatted? From my understanding the entire thing has to be formatted.
2. Can Wii homebrew be used in Wii mode? Is homebrew kept from a Wii system transfer? Don't know.
3. Can users sign into an existing account on another system and download content linked to that account on that system, keep any stats tracked on that account, etc.? I doubt the first one. Second one seems unlikely as well.
4. Can non-motionplus equipped Wii Remotes be used in any Wii U games, especially New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendoland? Depends on the game.
5. What, if anything, does the Gamepad display when it loses signal from the console? Haven't tried it.
6. Is there any sort of cross-game chat solution? Nope.
7. Can system updates be downloaded in the background? Yes.
8. What are download speeds for eShop games like? Are they throttled at a certain speed? My download for Nano Assault Neo took a couple minutes, but it's <100 MB.
9. Is there a screenshot function? Yes but it seems to ONLY be for Miiverse.
10. Can the Gamepad be turned off independently of the console? Don't believe so.
Thanks in advance.
Yup.
