      That's a good question , but I wouldn't have thought so .. Thats like saying does your next door neighbours wifi router interfere with yours ... Generally the answer to that is no, Wifi is designed to avoid those issues. You are more likely to get interference from a microwave oven.

          Can you still use a usb ethernet adapter on the WiiU? Would solve any WiFi issues.

                Got to admit this has taken over my gaming time, have,nt even taken far cry 3 and Lego LOR on the 360 out of the cellophane.

                  Me too.

                  My 360 is now officially the dvd player.

                  The whole family have had more fun on the Wii U these past couple of weeks then we have with the 360 the past couple of years.

                  I love my Xbox, but there is a unique charm to Nintendo's new toy that is completely absent from microsoft's box of tricks. NintendoLand is probably the most fun i've had with a game for a long long time - best couch co-op since the N64 days. Brilliant piece of kit overall - very much looking forward to the future.

                  Oh, and Raymand demo is amazing. Cannot wait for that to come out :-)

                      Loving COD and FIFA on the gamepad, proper handheld gaming at last, really one of the best launches for me since the N64 and Mario. Nintendo,s charm wins out again IMO.

                        What are you talking about, it was never intended to be a handheld hence why its range is only 30 meters or so? Yes gamepad play is a great feature but not everything will support it (look at Zombi U?) It's not like you can take it on holiday without the console and you need a television to set it up originally so calling it a handheld is a little disingenuous and misleading for prospective buyers. It's not a handheld but it does have optional gameplay wifi play

                          It's an interesting one...

                          For sheer comfort and size, the gamepad is for me the best potential handheld i've ever experienced. Its so comfortable I often choose to play the games i can using the pad only, not the TV. It isnt a handheld, but for games that support it, and while im in close range of the WiiU console, i treat the gamepad as one.

                          Having said that playing a game like Zombie U shows how much more intense the gameplay experience can be when done right, in this instance, more tension - more fear.

                          In NintendoLand, the gamepad has made the best ever type of couch play. And simply in the demo for Rayman i can see the potential for the best type of co-op play. In that regard, the gamepad offers something new and special to console gaming, as well as potential handheld gaming.

                          But i definitely prefer using the gamepad screen to my beautiful 38inch TV - and i will continue to use it instead as much as I can.

                            I'm not saying it isn't great to use as a screen I have been playing Mario on mine tonight but it was suggested it is a handheld, its not. It's nice to play if only it had the vita's oled though as you do get a little blur but nothing too bad. It's not as comfy in the hand as that but it shouldn't be the system (wiiu)costs the same as a vita (rrp anyways) really so Nintendo being Nintendo would have wanted like a grand for the Wii-U if they had built the gamepad to a vita spec Has anyone bought Funky Barn I kinda want it

                              I know it's not a proper handheld!, it's just like playing one though as long as you are in range of the main machine mind, and the no drop in quality here to the main game is superb it's just a monitor I know.
                              Sony could learn a thing or two here talking about resistance and COD on the vita, wanted them to be great but come on?.

                                Anyone else loving little Inferno? A beautifully disturbing game that is surprisingly deep! Not for everyone, but worth checking out. Totally unique
