It finally updated, I stuck in Blops 2 and now it needs to update :( screw this HD gaming crap with all the updates and downloads, I'm going to plug my wii back in.

I'm not hardcore enough for this.


Ah, but just think after that update you can play for hours on end with no updates!

The game library doesn't really interest me at the moment. I'll probably pick one up when Rayman Legends comes out.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

More initial impressions:

Gamepad: I live in a townhouse that has 4 total stories (3 full stories and 1 loft). The game pad was functional in 90% of my house with the exception my second bedroom (the console is located off center from the room) and the upper most tier of the loft.


Train wreck, can you answer these two questions?

1) so I heard the U pad drains the battery very quickly...if I want to, can I turn off the image on the pad screen so only the TV is displaying the game?

2) if I´m not using Wii remotes, only the U pad, do I still need that sensor bar?

Thanks!

maybe it has already been answered, but how loud are the fans and the drive ?

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.


Look at the bright side. It's not as much as a set back as waiting for Pikmin 3.

Not certain but from videos I believe not much louder than the Wii...
