Nintendo Land in general has taken me by surprise. But perhaps its that art style and music that makes it MAGICAL~~Same here. Pikmin Adventure took me by surprise and I love how i can relax and play with it with the football game on.
Sucks for people who jumped on this but I'm kinda glad this is happening to Nintendo since they deserve it.
patch wasn't 5gb, was it?
I think some of these issues are making mountains from mole hills.
I mean lots of these issues plague all new hardware.
I don't see many of them as extremely endemic to the long term success or failure of the console.
Remember King Kong on the 360? Madden 2006 on the 360? Perfect Dark on the 360? Looking back, those games were fucking horrible.

The OS definitely seems very rushed.
This:

Did those games have an equivalent version that ran better on previous generation consoles?Remember King Kong on the 360? Madden 2006 on the 360? Perfect Dark on the 360? Looking back, those games were fucking horrible.
Doesn't mean it should be excused, especially when Ninty has historically held itself to higher standards. Both the WiiU and 3DS - its two most recent consoles - have been sloppy.

I didn't know Skyrim was a launch title for the PS3
The Xbox 360 and PS3 didn't have ports of games from 6 year old consoles that chugged badly and they didn't have ridiculous load times IN JUST THE OS. Compared to all of this, the 360 and PS3 launches were great. They don't even compare to this shitshow.
PSN and the Store were an absolute disaster when they came out. WiiU is not nearly that bad IMO.Wasn't Live or PSN pretty buggy? I'll give Nintendo some slack since this is new frontiers for them.
As if Nintendo has released any thing to wow us at launch. Fuckouttahere with this. The system is gimped to hell and back for a console in 2012.The OS being as sluggish as it looks is either a result of not having enough time to program everything, or just having poor programmers.
After watching the Zelda tech demo, the third party stuff is fucking embarrassing for third parties.
No. Madden 06 on the PS2 was not the same game and ran in SD. That's not equivalent to what is going on with AC3, Epic Mickey 2, BLOPS2, Arkham City, etc.Yes.
Madden 2006 on PS2 was the tits. They removed a ton of features on it and it was at half the framerate
That is my point Watson. They had time. There was no rushing to launch. It still went trough Sony´s gates.
Nope apparently it was 1-2 GB or so.

the software is six months early, the hardware is six years late.
Yes.

Well after all these issues I'm back on the fence. Not sure if I should wait til these problems get ironed out. Is Nintendo capable of fixing these issues? They seem lost.
Press again to go back, no?Why the fuck when I press the Home button does it kick me out of the eshop and every other one of those "apps" that was added with the update? Makes checking battery life or taking screenshots impossible doesn't it?
which is still fucking ridiculous

Now that was 6 years ago though too so...
Those. Were. Not. Equivalent. Versions.Off the top of my head, Madden for 360 was a disaster, and King Kong was so bad that Ubisoft recommended people buy the Xbox version.
Console launches are always terrible. NeoGAF just fails to realize this.

My system is plagued with this and it fucking sucks. Can't return and get a new one because it is literally sold out everywhere here.
Also that is over Wifi, no Ethernet...
My expectation was that a brand new console would at the very least be as good as the current gen consoles. I'm an idiot for expecting that. It's nowhere near the quality of the PS3/360 experience. NSMBU is in HD and plays great though. So there's that.
How many threads do we need bemoaning the day 1 patch?
Have you guys not used a video game system or PC in the last 5 years?

720/PS4 threads are going to be amazing.
Did some Googling and it looks like it was caused by the Wii U incorrectly identifying the network encryption type with some routers. I'm just going by what I've seen posted in the following thread on Nintendo's support forum:WIFI Configuration Problems (needs source!)
