As annoying as it is that my download keeps getting interrupted, i love how everything is on the Gamepad so I can kick back, watch the avengers over lunch and keep my eye on the situation.

So were is our friend codes exchange gonna go down. My name is ShyGuy, give me you name if you add me. I added somebody named UncleBob.

UncleBob · « **Reply #4902 on:** November 18, 2012, 02:09:44 PM »

Assuming two folks can't have the same ID, then you added me.

Sadly, I'm stuck in Wii Mode, redownloading 90+ titles from the Wii Shop Channel.

Because Nintendo hates me.

Did you think that little purple pikmin wasn't going to make the rocket ship? I was so sad!

UncleBob · « **Reply #4904 on:** November 18, 2012, 02:19:55 PM »

I actually kinda expected him to get left behind, then a second, smaller ship land on the Wii U.

I just don't see why those damn lazy Pikmin couldn't transfer my SD Card titles. Fuckers. I even did the hard work of moving the SD Card itself.

Oh well, only ~60 titles to go...

I got back from BB and set everything up, but I'm mad because they told me the store opened @ 11am today, when it actually opened @10am.

They said I was smart to pre-order since it was crazy in the morning and people had camped out over night. I missed EVERYTHING!!!!
I showed up 30 minutes "early" (wearing my "I survived Zombi U" shirt from E3) to witness the madness and then casually walk out with my pre-ordered Wii U

but here is a pic, along with my new 47" 3D TV I just bought to go with my new Wii U

It's a dark photo because my room has poor lighting, but my 3DS is just below the monitor on the left and my Wii U is below the TV next to the Wii games in the middle.

Unfortunately, excitement is tempered by a rather long update process.....
good thing I have a 3rd screen (computer) & 4th screen (3DS) to keep me occupied in the meantime.

EasyCure · « **Reply #4909 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:24:58 PM »

Yeah same thing happened at my best buy except there didn't seem to be any madness at all.. i'm finally setting things up. Hope to get your Network ID soon.

Stogi · « **Reply #4910 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:29:45 PM »

So has anyone actually...you know...played a game?

EasyCure · « **Reply #4911 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:30:26 PM »

Nope hahaha trying to set-up mii verse and getting another error.. and here I thought i'd be halfway through zombie u by now..

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #4912 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:32:22 PM »

my games are coming from that newegg deal where every game was 20% off, so I won't see them until monday at the earliest, but most likely tuesday instead.

Looks like I'm stuck with just Nintendoland for now.

Mannypon · « **Reply #4913 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:39:16 PM »

I'm watching nfl games on tv while reading up on everyone's impressions here through the use of the gamepad

. Life doesn'tget much better than this lol. FYI the internet browser on the WiiU is lightning fast. I'm amazed, it puts my computer to shame.

Games? I thought all this machine did was download stuff and give error messages. How many hours in does that happen?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #4917 on:** November 18, 2012, 04:12:53 PM »

ok, now I'm pissed.

after an hour of download install, the system errored and then reset (my girl put the Nintendoland disc in with the install at 90%).

It restarted just fine, and I went through all the parental password stuff, realized that I was the only account and had no one to parental control yet, so I told it to delete the setting and then exited, so I could try to start up Netflix. It said I needed an internet connection, which I had already done, as it had previously downloaded and installed the system update.

as soon as I put the password in, it asked me to download a system update again... i figured it would recognize that I already have the newest one, then push me to the main menu. But here we are.... 20 minutes into the system update download again.

We should screenshot all the errors and collect them like stationery.

I've seen the swimming Mario/Luigi download screen three times today.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #4921 on:** November 18, 2012, 04:51:39 PM »

lol fun times, still waiting to get mine, have $93 left to pay at walmart layaway, unfortunately it may not be until the 30th when I have the money xD

Caterkiller · « **Reply #4922 on:** November 18, 2012, 05:14:01 PM »

For some reason I equated no midnight launches with no early line ups. To my surprise I saw tents and chairs at 2 different best buys today and people picking up their systems from toys R us and GameStop.

Saw about 5 white Wii U's that people kept passing on in favor of the delux black. About 85% into my system update and my complex is known for constant random power outages... I AM DYING HERE!!!!!

So with everyone trying to log on Miiverse, would that explain error messages?

Don't worry. You won't touch any of those games after this.

Probably. 51 of them are the free demos.
