So that one little bit of inconvenience makes it a HUGE deal?? Obviously I'm mostly talking to people in the US who are the ones being very vehement about it and saying "I'm never buying any games digitally, even ones I can't get any other way", but I still don't see that as a huge deal even in Europe. Most electronic devices don't die within a year (that's why stores in the US push extended 1 year warranties so hard, because it's almost free money for them, such a low percentage of the people who buy them actually need them).
People are talking as if this is the worst DRM ever, as if this is as bad as games forcing you to be online to play or giving themselves root access to your Windows Kernal, but there's almost no downsides to the way Nintendo is doing this.
When do you guys think Nintendo will bring the Virtual Console to the Wii U?
After hearing things like this and seeing their guidelines to not put identifying information in there I've been wondering how long it will be until they make an issue of my NNID being JoshuaJSlone.lol they told me to change my Miiverse profile because I had my Xbox Live, 3DS and PSN ID's on it.
It can, but whether it's actually supported is on a game by game basis.phloxy said:So a pro controller u doesn't work in Wii games, but will the Wii Classic controller pro work in Wii u games?
Not sure, but I think we're all relatively concerned about having to rebuy VC games just to have gamepad support.
Question time for the lucky ones that have a Wii.
If you plug in headphones to the gamepad will you get sound from the TV too?
If I plug in headphones to the TV will I get sound from the gamepad?
If I plug headphones in the TV and gampad will I get sound fom both?
I know stupid questions but the honey doesn't like to be disturbed with my video gaming skills while she is trying to sleep.
Thanks guys and gals ��
I am pretty sure there is a menu option in Settings for such a thing.Is it possible to wipe the WiiU back to factory fresh.
I'm getting the WiiU next friday and will need to check that it works but it's a Xmas prezzie for my kids so I'd like to be able to wipe the contents so that it looks like we're setting up the machine for the first time on Xmas day.
That reminds me, I need to add GAFers on to my friends list. My NNID is timaza, is there a list of other GAFers NNID's floating around anywhere?
Yeah i wanted to go back and play a bunch of Wii games i never played like Mario Galaxy 1+2 and grabbed a new copy of MG1 for $20 but Galaxy 2 is still going like $40 strong I almost caved in but bought the Kirby 20th instead.Really wanted to grab Mario Galaxy 2 and Skyward sword, still so expensive though!
I don't think they will but it'd be nice if sainsburys fucked this up and sent me the console early!

I had my personal website on my profile and had my profile blocked until I edited it out.
I didn't even know what the offense was at first since they didn't specify why they blocked my profile, just a simple messaged that my profile had been restricted for viewing for violating their Miiverse code of conduct. It wasn't until I went through their entire terms and conditions that I figured I most likely violated their "marketing or advertising" rule set.
Apparently for 'sexually explicit' content. Haha. I figure it must be for my crude drawing skills more than anything else.

Do yourself a favor and don't do that. Otherwise Christmas morning is going to be spent waiting for downloads to complete, and then waiting for updates to install. Get all that shit over with before they open it, and Xmas morning will be a lot more enjoyable for them. Just scrub the users/Miis, and unless they go into the memory section within settings, they'll never know you installed all the mandatory updates ahead of time.

It's obvious you're never going to consider another position. First it's about piracy, and now it's about not being a big deal. It's fine if it means nothing to you, nintendo changing it would literally have no impact on you while improving it for others.
I play with other people, and a lot of my enjoyment comes from local multiplayer or coop, and have done so for years. Being able to take my digital stuff like my xbla titles to a friends house is a big deal to me, and not being able to do it with a wiiu will only make them not want one and me not buy anything digital.
Every other competent digital service around today allows reasonable profile migration and content management. MS, Sony, Google, and Apple all do things the complete opposite way that Nintendo has chosen.
It's a big deal for me and others. I want freedom on the console to enjoy it more.
I had Scribblenauts ship, which I need to figure out what to do with now, gragh.Has anyone had anything ship from newegg that's WiiU related? I've been waiting for a Pro Controller and I've watched their site for the dates slowly slipping back. First it was a week, then 12/11, and then 12/18. Now it's 12/31. I go to Target and Walmart and I see a number of them on the racks. What gives?
Bs from Nintendo. Just got to opening my deluxe from last sun (had no time to open it during the week) and i cant connect to the internet.
$10 says my "EatChildren" account gets banned/blocked, just as it was with EA.

But I am in the same boat, waiting for a Pro Controller.
same problem many of us have probably, you can try the Google DNS "trick" that has been mentioned or go into your router settings and find your own DNS.
What trick is this?
So according to Gerstmann it's still easy to find Wii U in stock even after Black Friday. What IS going on?

Well, aside from spotty even non-existent marketing for the system and a mixed message about what it offers for such a relatively high price in a cash-strapped economy, it might be that Ninty's more aggressive shipments are helping to create a more negative impression that it's simply undesired.

I've seen a lot of Wii U's (both sets) in Toronto and Mississauga. I think its harder to find Deluxes in the US though.From what I've seen, getting Basics isn't a huge problem, but Deluxes are pretty tough to find. Not well allocated by Nintendo, I reckon.
