I'll be buying one when both Monster Hunter and Smash Bros. have been released in Europe. When can I expect that to be? Probably over a year away...

I like it so far. Got mine yesterday. So I have had a lot of time to use it. You will be looking at the controller a lot. Much of the wii u's menu will be on it and not the tv. So times it is on both, other times the main stuff is on the gamepad. And be ready for the day one update. It took me over a hour and a half to download but with out it you can only mess around with settings and play wii u games.

I have one game so far. I got the deluxe so it came with Nintendo Land. It is better than you would think. Most of the games I played used the controller well. And they are fun little games. I have not played them all but the ones I played were good especially the donkey one.

As as I updated I did the wii transfer. You have to download it to bothe the wii u and wii. It took a little while but the have a nice pikmin load screen we you wait. I was able to transfer all over expect the first lostwind. I luckily got it free on ipad so that did not hurt for me. The games look the same as wii so don't expect a bump in graphics.

And the eshop looks ok. It is full of games, indie games, trailers, and screenshots. No demos yet. I have not bought any thing yet but I will later today.

So far so good to me. When some of my games get shipped to me later this week I will have a little better picture. But so far nintendo just may have something good here.

Can you give impressions on the browser,that's the main thing I am looking forward to until I wait for game prices to drop.



Monster Hunter March/April 2013 If I remeber correct.

My guess for Smash Bros is end of 2014, but who knows...



More first impressions....



Just picked up the deluxe version (second one in line). I haven't played anything yet but the U-pad feels fine. I'm pissed at the place where I bought it because I asked for NSMB U and they told me they wouldn't have it until the 30th. Oh well, only a small set back.

Still waiting for the massive update to download. Had a slight issue where it did not like my very long wireless key as well, but after a change of that, everything is working fine. More impressions once this thing gets updated

Is it possible to transfer:
1) Wii save game files?
2) VC or WW games?
3) an entire SD card filled with Wii saves and games?



It is possible to transfer all of that, kind of a long process involving an SD card though

I believe everything which was on the Wii (games, saves etc.) can be transfered, so yes.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I'm downloading the update right now. It makes pretty sounds while the data is downloading. How big is the update?
