Just checked Gaf. It's a world wide issue. Trinen tweeted about it. Of all the games to fuck up the launch of, it had to be this one.

Midnight downloaders are playing it now before people who preloaded.

I'm absolutely livid.

The game doesn't have full headphone support with the gamepad. What a carnal fucking sin.

Gamexplain actually talked about that. Bummed as well since I like gaming on my PC monitor when the main TV is used. Hopefully they fix this whenever I get the game unlike Donkey Kong :-/

Preload issue is really weird and unfortunate. Have a hard time feeling sympathy when I have to wait 21 days :P

However, the headphones is understandable since the pad has its own sounds and such tied to the menus there. I can also understand though that people are upset.

I wonder, if when you make the game show on the gamepad if the TV still displays the game. If it does, then that will be an option.

TELL ME YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME?! Nooooooooooo! I just bought a new monitor and I don't have the speakers yet......

Decisions... decisions... I'll spend too much time with the character creator, lol. But I heard that you can change it at a later point.

It's capped by the servers and slower than usual (less than 2 MB/s). Splatoon was 2-3 MB/s, I remember that I had my fist online match at 0:32 am.

So everyone playing X ? This holliday season will be hard for me X( I really hope to get Pokémon Z sometime in spring...

It does, but with a game that so heavily uses the gamepad for UI functions, doing that is more than an inconvenience.

Also, there are other games on the system that recognize when a headphone jack is docked in and transfer the TV audio to the gamepad when the situation arises, so this is not an excuse. It's legitimately infuriating.

Wait explain this to me?? I only game using headphones so I aint buying shit if theres a serious issue.
