So how are the screen resolutions of the games? I know Nintendo's 1st party titles are supposedly in 720p, but what about the 3rd party stuff? Some time ago there was a lot of talk about 3rd party ports running in higher res than their PS360 counterparts, but not a single one of all the reviews I've read -anywhere- mention anything about it at all. What gives? Seeing as how a LOT of 'HD twins' games run in sub-HD resolutions, I'd be a nice bonus if WiiU games ran in higher res. Y'know, as in, actual HD... Anyone know anything?

I know BLOPS2 runs in HD, and higher than that of the PS360. I'd imagine other games (AC, Darksiders etc.) to be the same.

I know there seems to be some sort of resolution incompatibility with my TV. This is, of course, entirely possibly my TV's problem, as its an older HDTV (2006) which doesn't have an ATSC tuner or an HDMI port, so i'm using Component and it seems like at any HD resolution i put the console in that it's too big for my screen (the edges of everything are cut off)

Fortunately i have two other HDTVs sitting around, one that i took to college and another that i took to Japan, so i'll have to see if i can't get it to work better with one of the other sets.

Gamepad: Browsing the internet is like any other full service phone or tablet. Sites like this one work fine. Gamepad is light so I can see long sessions with the pad but the real estate is sees lacking to tablets bigger (obvious)

Miiverse: Nintendo flags you (might not be the right term) for games you do not have but try to comment on. Make you distinct from the others who do have the game.


sweet,Browsing is proboly the thing I am going to use it 90% of the time.Can you check if Crunchyroll works on it?


From what I recall, Flash doesn't work on the Wii U browser. Unless Crunchyroll is HTML5 optimized, it won't work :/ 

Well crunchyroll works on Ios devices and those dont run flash (I think) so it should technically work I suppose

If it works on IOS it's more than likely to work on WiiU. Though I can't be certain.

Hmm...again something I haven't heard of before. Does the picture actually appear using the HDMI cable or is it all distorted? 

May just be a one-off thing, like the remote synching earlier in the thread with Paul.

I don't know what to think of this system any more... A lot of good and positive feeling here, in this forum, but reviewers aren't as happy...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Yep, just tried out the browser myself.  It loaded VGC pretty damn fast and the thread pages too.  Right now I am using my desktop computer but it seems to be just a little slower than it which is pretty good to my standards.  It blows the 3DS browser out of the water.

Anyone outside of the U.S has already download a full retail game? I want to make sure it works fine before buying the system.

I can't test it with HDMI, my current TV doesn't support it.

First i want to see how NSMBU looks on it. If i can see everything, i'll just let it lie for now.
