So it comes preloaded with Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon or did you have to download them?


  They're not functional without the update which isn't available yet. But they're on there right out of the box.


Ah nice.  I assume you probably have Netflix.  Hulu is okay but I struggle to keep my susbscription to Hulu+ sometimes.  They just don't have enough content that I prefer and a bunch of crap that I don't even care about.  The main shows I watch on it are Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Colbert Report, Family Guy, South Park, Bob's Burgers, Cleveland Show, and American Dad (Futurama and The Simpsons are web content only).  It would be nice if they had shows like Archer, Workaholics, The Walking Dead, etc.. Plus, the increase in commercials sucks too.

Show us the menu.

Here ya go:

 

Is that on the TV or controller?


The TV, you can switch from the TV to the controller at any time, the icon for that is in the lower right on the screen.

I wasn't sure because i could see that icon on the bottom right and it looked like a touch based interface anyway



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

I wonder if they are going to have a check Mii out channel again? I download a ton of Miis (filled up my system) that looked like Obama, Clinton, Darth Vader, Peter Griffin, Homer, etc... It was kind of cool to see them in some of the games (Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sports, etc in the stands/background). Can you port your Miis over from the Wii in the system transfer? Did you do a system transfer?

I'm still waiting for the update, it's not available yet.  I'm checking every half hour or so.

Well, I won't be playing until Monday. I have to work from 6am to 6pm tomorrow so Gamestop will be closed when I get off. My little sister is authorized to pick up pre-orders for me but she's going to be 300 miles away, tomorrow. It's the perfect storm of fucking up my plans. Unless my other sister can successfully imitate my youngest sister, I'm going to be shit outta luck. I was looking forward to playing when I got home from work, too.

Monday and Tuesday, I work 6pm to 6am so even when I get it on Monday, I won't be able to do much more than unbox it.

Cool! Not trying to be rude or anything but can you break it open -- a hammer would do, and tell me what is printed on the chips.

Thanks.

Only joking, but don't let me stop you if you thought I was serious.
