What's really weird about WII U launch is misinformation on nintendo's part? 

Nintendo stated the WII U doesn't have an scaler but it does. 

The Gamepad mic doesn't work in-game?

People are using the gamepad mic for CoD.  All they needed was a plain headset. 

SD cards can't be used for WII U Saves or Games?

SD cards are being used for saves and downloadable WII U games.

When your in game and press the home button the game screenshots where you were left off. You have up too two screenshots to share. Not the most elegant method but its better than nothing.

Went and put my name down on the "I want a Wii U" list at GameStop today...they said I'd most likely get the call tonight or tomorrow.

I didn't want to start another thread for a single question:

Does anyone know if you can access your countries eshop in another country?  I am sure this has come up with the 3DS...but I would love confirmation for the WiiU, because that might help make a decision to purchase or not.

SD cards are being used for saves and downloadable WII U games.

They specifically meant the Wii U can't use SD cards in the standard front-facing slot, which is true. That is only for accessing Wii content while in "Wii Mode".

When Nintendo said "USB devices", they were referring to USB hard drives.

Again I have had zero issues so far. Well my U didn't read black ops for a moment so I hat to reinsert it. Besides that My online sessions have been 100% lag free in both Black Ops and Tekken. I sware every match I am playing someone right next to me.
Could you please check if Wii Classic Controller is supported? I really don't want to buy Wii U Pro Controller just for this.

It should say so on the back of a case.

Really stoked to play some Tekken with my friends.

Yes the old Wii classic controller is supported with this! Shows the controller right on the back of the box!

Good job Namco for thinking of us!

I can't really afford it at the moment, but I've been severely tempted to make a poor life decision and get a WiiU off the bat. I've been tempered by some of the blowback, though. I hold that Gamespot is pretty fundamentally anti-Nintendo, but nonetheless their initial hardware review gave me quite a lot of pause:

And my mind has already been blown simply because it can control my cable box and TV (both Samsung). Now downloading the first update...

They should make the status bar like Mario taking a dump on a clock or something like that. Jesus.

lmfao, that would be classic.  Glad your getting a kick out of it already though.  Look forward to seeing you in the Miiverse.  Join the NWR fam lol.  By the way, did you pick up any games with it?

So I take it downloads are even slower than the PS3, even though the Wii U has more RAM and newer hardware?

Do you think we'll ever see real next-gen games on the Wii U? Games that can't be done on the Xbox 360 and PS3?

RAM has nothing to do with it. Download speed is basically dictated by the server, or your ISP, whichever is slower. I have 25MB cable, so updates should only take a few minutes...posting from my Wii U btw.

Though I do wonder if it mattered a little bit with the Wii. If your download speed exceeded the write speed of the SD card then the extra data would have to buffered in to the RAM, if the Wii even works that way.

It shouldn't matter with the Wii U. Unless maybe if you had Google Fiber at 700Mbps.

Is it just me or is anyone else disappointed that there's no wishlist/bookmark feature in the WiiU's eshop like the 3DS... :thumbsdown;

Why is it under "All Ratings" screen? The 3DS had a nicer big button for it on the main screen...

Yes there is, I've added at least Scribblenauts to my wishlist because I'm interested but probably won't pick it up until later on, unless someone wants to gift it to me..

Also, has anyone seen this comic?

Do it. Get one. You will be happy with it. Jump in now when it is fresh and exciting. Would you rather date a 22 year old co-ed or UncleBob's mom?  ;)  (In fairness, his mom is very cute and the co-ed is very busy with her studies, so...)


Also, consider your source. Gamespot is, shall we say, not a fan of Nintendo things.

Packing up and sending back all of the 360/PS3 dev kits. Hopefully they. Managed to get a wii U dev kit as well.

E3 2013: Microsoft and Sony to reveal their next-gen consoles confirmed? :)

I hated Just Cause. That game was a glitchy mess, the graphics were terrible, and the voice acting was atrocious.
