I'm hating mine. Everytime I want to play a new game I have to update the console. What the fuck is wrong with you Nintendo?

Anyway, hope you enjoy.


Bullshit.  There are almost never any updates and when there are, they update in the background.

Bullshit is to call bullshit my personal experience. Every time I put a new game in the console (a new game never played before) I have to update. To play Hyrule Warriors I needed to wait 45 minutes before playing.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

It updates while you play.  Refuse the update and play for a minute.  It will download in the background.  Next time you play, the update will be installed.  And after that, every update is installed automatically, even if you don't play.

Send me a Wii U friend request.  I am d21lewis on Wii U.

Mr Lewis, you lucky man, you game on all 3 machines / funbags?

I wish I could get an x1 as well but the wife will kill me no questions asked. I'm surprised I was okay to get the WiiU.

I shall add you :)

I still don't understand how people think you can have a padless version? It's so much more than a Kinect equivalent. It's more like having a wii without motion controls.


It's not that hard to think about it, seriously, launch the "Wii Slim/orwhatever" and make the Pad a peripheral, have games like Nintendo Land, the new Kirby, the Bowser mode in Mario Party 10, and the probably 1st person mode on the new Star Fox being GamePad exclusive, that's enough incentive for people to buy one separately, well, some people, that doesn't include me as I detest the thing, and any useless gimmicks Nintendo and its fanboys try to pass out as innovative. 

Also, I would've fucking loved a Wii without motion controls. 


A Wii without motion controls would have been a terrible idea. Lets release a new console that is only slightly more powerful and offer no new innovation to offset the minimal update.


On topic:

The Wii U is a fantastic console and I hope that you enjoy what it has to offer. Other people have suggested some excellent titles already. I can't think of other titles over the top of my head that have not been mentioned.

Congrats, definitely a console you need to play with to appreciate its charms.

Still has work to be done but really not as bad as people make it out to be.

PS: Get Wonderful101, support the cause!

In retrospect, yeah, I over-exagerated, having the Wii being underpowered and without the only thing that made it unique would've just sucked. That said, I still can't use motion controls for shit, I can't stand the pointer n' stuff.

I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the Wii U once I get my hands on it, but I have pretty much decided that I won't support Nintendo until they learn to adapt to the times and at least attempt to reclaim the crown they once had.



I'm now filled with determination.
