Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.

Jeeze. Had this thing 2 days and I haven't used that button once. Why isnt Friend List an option from the main menu? So. Strange.

This is a systemwide issue. So, even if you adjust it in miiverse, you will need to do the same in all of the other apps. Games don't even give you the option, so they will be cut off somewhat unless you fiddle with your tv settings.WOA, to those that were discussing the screen not fitting on their TV yesterday...
there actually IS a screen size option hidden on the wii u. I found it under Miiverse, User, Settings/Other, Miiverse Settings, scroll to bottom, its Screen Size and for some reason mine was set larger than my TV so I just moved it down a bit and snap, perfectly fits my tv now without any overscan options.
so weird...
Are there any Sonic & All-Stars Racing reviews anywhere?
As we learned with the Lightning adapter debacle, there's no way to supply more than 5V safely using a micro USB adapter. I wouldn't be surprised if the tablet needs more juice than that to charge quickly.
Question:
If I plug headphones into the Gamepad, would headphones also play the sounds that come out of the TV? For example, I want to play Zombi U at night, but can't turn the TV volume on. If I mute the TV and plug headphones into the Gamepad, will I still hear everything? Or just Gamepad specific sound effects?
Yes. Also if you turn off the sound on the pad the pad exclusive sounds are routed through your TV (without headphones obviously).
Does the OS and Miiverse not completely fit on the TV screen for anyone else? It cuts off a little bit off the edges on the TV, but it fits completely on the GamePad.
Hmm, I turned it to just scan instead of 16:9 and it fit it all in.

So has anybody checked their router to see what http server Nintendo is accessing for Miiverse in order to maybe see if there's an alternate and homespun means of checking those messages before Nintendo themselves make an interface for other platforms?
Man the Miiverse is full of hyped and positive people, this is great.
The OS looks really less dumb as well, without the Nintendo reps and actual real people with some really awesome drawings.
This is actually something I'm finding very cool tonight. I'm just relaxing having it in the background and just enjoying seeing all the cool art people are doing.

EDIT: Browsing GAF on the Gamepad while listening to music/videos via youtube on the TV feels fucking good, this thing is smooth.
I wish I could post my screenshots on Twitter too.
One thing is that it needs to connect you better to your friends. The Friends List feels a bit too isolated and while I like that it has its own thing; the integration on many fronts needs to feel closer/quicker.
Picked it up on Wii U and never played the first one. Still not sure if I like it more than MK or not, but I definitely think it deserves a spot alongside it... really great game. The items are effective, easy to use, and pretty balanced. And the tracks are amazing. Put in about two hours or so with it so far.
My fiance can't get into it because she hates the flying sections; they came naturally to me though.
Question:
Does the browser accept Microsoft Silverlight?
How fast and usable is the system browser? I've seen some tests and they were not too favorable about it...
Any quirks I should know about for the Wii U's internet connection?
I have no problems connecting my computer, 360, ps3, wii, 3ds, ipad, and psp to the internet, but the Wii U keeps saying 'connection failed. Unable to find Wi-Fi connection'... and I've tried its recommended steps (uplugged & reconnected the router, double checked wep settings, moved it away from other electronics, etc)
Edit: I found the answer here, and its all good:

9. Now hit next, hit configure now for your DNS. When asked about DNS hit "Dont auto obtain".
10. For the first server put in 8.8.8.8
11. For the second server put in 8.8.4.4
Same.I honestly get used to it after awhile
but at first it was unbearable yeah
Same.
It'll be magical once the patch hits next week lol
No. Why would it?
Also Microsoft killed off Silverlight last year, it's no longer in active development.
Hoping that Grasshopper's chummy relationship with Nintendo will lead to Killer is Dead on the Wii U. And for it to be on par with the PS3 version.

This game is crazy good, almost too good to believe that it has a $40 price tag.
I don't think I would actually mind having something like the Kindle app on the Wii U, even if just for convenience's sake when I'm in bed or something.
I'd rather an exclusive No More Heroes 3. WiiU needs exclusive games to succeed I think.
Is anyone actually enjoying their Wii U? I was going to make a thread asking this question but the front page is so cluttered with Wii U threads already, most if them boiling down to how bad the system sucks.
Well i for one am really enjoying it along with my 8 yr old daughter. She prefers us playing together in Nintendo Land, but im more into NSMBU. She's just not very good at it and doesnt really know the Mario Universe that i grew up with.
I've already spent more time with it than i did the Wii during its entire life cycle. I hated the waggle controls from the beginning. I love the game pad and its nice to finally see some HD graphics on a Nintendo console.
Surely I am not on an island out here by myself.
