Stupid, I know.

Hm.  I see the one request I've sent so far in there - but no others...?

[BlackNMild2k1]

One update the Remote TV feature needs so far is Page Up/Page Down buttons for the Cable Box Guide. But that's the beauty of the new OS, Nintendo can update these things as time passes.

I am very curious as to what TVii is going to be all about. It might actually get me to use the cable box more often instead of the alternative method I've already grown accustomed to.


I'm also upset because I did my Wii transfer for my wiiShop account, and none of the games I own have transfered over.
No SuperMario RPG, Secret of Mana, MegaMan or the other 4-5 games that aren't immediately coming to mind are anywhere to be found (none of them were physically downloaded at the time).
I did link to my MyNintendo account, which should be all the proof I need that I own the titles, but I think I'm gonna have to contact Nintendo about this at some point.

Forget this.

Nintendo just needs to team up with Logitech (who makes officially licensed Nintendo accessories anyway) and create the software for the remote feature.  This thing should be able to control *my* entire entertainment center.  Instead, it turns the TV on and off. Whoo.

Are they on your "Titles I've Downloaded" list in the Wii Shop?  Anything that you don't have installed directly on the Wii (i.e.: on an SD card or not installed at all) won't go with the transfer and have to be redownloaded.

[BlackNMild2k1]

there is no record that it was purchased with the transferred account.

I never re-downloaded after Nintendo transferred the account from the old white Wii to the new Black Wii and now it doesn't show up on the Wii U.

It's also too late to check the black Wii as everything was deleted... I think.
Now I have to go check the old White Wii and see if that stuff is still on there, and if I can system transfer from there as well.

[MegaByte]

Well, I'm just glad it knew how to talk to this old Zenith TV I have it temporarily hooked up to (Zenith went out of business in 1999).

I haven't found a way to shut off Wii Remotes when they're not in use. They just power down after a while, but it seems like a waste of battery in the meantime.

My suggestion: just remove one of the batteries.

[Oblivion]

Use the controller options when you press the home button, just like with the Wii.

[Adrock]

Have you tried that? I didn't see a power off option when I checked and I was thinking I was missing something.

[Oblivion]

Yes, I actually tried it. It will come up with a prompt warning you that you're about to shut off the screen.

[Caterkiller]

Any one playing Black Ops 2? When I'm online sometimes I'm voice chatting and sometimes I'm not. It's enabled in options and on a player by player bases. I don't know what the heck the problem is.

updating my wii u as i post, download time for the update was around 35 mins, system update has gone by fairly quickly

You certainly missed the the onslaught of day 1 users.

Wait, screen? I was asking about shutting off Wii Remotes, not the GamePad. Or are you saying that that also shuts off the Wii Remotes? If so, that's a bizarre way of handling that, Nintendo.

Good news. Everyone can access the admin parts of miiverse.

Nintendo is now saying that was just a mock-up menu, so nobody had to worry about their personal info being compromised since it wasn't a real menu. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-11-19-nintendo-allays-wii-u-hacking-fears?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=us-daily

Are you using a headset to voice chat or the GamePad mic? Are you saying the chat dies midway through a match or that it works in some matches and not in others?

So with all the hardware issues people are experiencing, do you think Nintendo should have postponed the launch until things were properly tested? It's like we in the US are beta testers for the rest of the world.


With all the freezing, slow loading, glitches, slow downloads, etc. the Wii U is basically the next Xbox 360.

[TJ Spyke]

Not anywhere close, the problems seem to be really rare (and the slow downloads have been because of so many people downloading the updates at the same time, the same problem happens when Apple releases a iOS update).

What about all the other OS glitches, slow loading of apps and games, random freezing requiring a hard reset (unplug the system), etc.? I experienced those things with the original Wii. It seems Nintendo can't even get their own OS right.

[Oblivion]

I haven't had any OS problems. I've had issues with Netflix that one seems to able to fix, however.

[TJ Spyke]

Again, it seems these are pretty rare and that you are in the minority. Every electronic device will have a small percentage of users who experience problems. I never had those problems with my Wii.

[tendoboy1984]

I've been reading about all this stuff on GoNintendo and various other websites. I'm surprised NWR hasn't done much reporting on it.

Anyways, thank goodness we have patches and OS updates.


EDIT: I guess since this is the internet, people will blow things out of proportion just to get attention. I DID experience many cases of freezing on my original Wii. That's probably why we got so many minuscule system updates back then.


I haven't gotten a Wii U yet (bills and rent come first), but all the reports of freezing and slow loading are making me want to wait until all the kinks are ironed out.

[Oblivion]

You're bitching and you don't even have one?

[MrPhishfood]

There are so are so many games to play, I don't think we'll see anything solid for a few days.

Unless you have to get 6 Wii Us (edit: it said Xbox 360s before) to replace your Wii U because it and the replacements kept dying, then no, it is not "basically the next Xbox 360." Just giving some polite perspective here.

As for me, I'm going to use any money I was going to use on a Wii U to get some games for platforms I already own. What a mess.
