Nintendo Wii U (Thread 2!)

[CrispyXUK]

Mines here from shop to, doing this massive firmware update

Couldn't get an answer on the phone or through support so
I pointed out on twitter , why are they sending orders in the wrong order , and that i thought it was unfair the way they are handling this. I even said i understand that they are swamped with orders but should still treat people fairly , got 1 robotic reply just saying the release is tomorrow and they have now blocked me , shows they don't give a monkeys I find that rude to boot.

You know, you may well have convinced me, had you not been buying one yourself:-)

ZombiU is fantastic mate, but your spot on about everything else!

I can guarantee I will have one in my hands by the weekend. I have tried to hold out, but never missed a Nintendo launch since the Super Famicom was released, the NES got me well and truly hooked.

Although, for the same money I could have a nice consolodized MVS with a 161 cart and a couple of aes sticks sat under the tv, and I am missing Pulstar far more than I am craving a Wii U. It just seems wrong to not buy a Nintendo machine at launch.

I buckled:-( Ahh, what the hell, I'd only spend it on other stuff I don't need anyway.

Plus, I understand the wii side of it can be softmodded already, so it'll be great to get my N64, SNES, Megadrive and NES etc Emu's and ROMs up and running on the system

Irony of ironies* I have tomorrow off work but I haven't ordered a WiiU lol.






*In the Alanis Morrisette sense of the word i.e not ironic at all.

Mine has turned up at my wife's office. Stuck at home feeling lousy, tempted to dope myself on painkillers and go and get it. If I start the update now I might be better by the time it has finished.

for anyone downloading the update, remember to put the wiiU into DMZ, will really help speed!!

I'm having loads of fun trying to get it to connect to my access point.

[CrispyXUK]

I just cancelled it and it downloaded in the background whilst I played Mario

Tell me about it, what an absolute nightmare, even though it could see my hub it just would not connect, had to get the help sticky off Gamefaqs. Is it just me or is everyone else having connection errors?

[djtickle]

Does anyone know if Generic usb network adapters work?

[gambit6613]

Seriously, i have every internet device i have, including the Wii set up fine in the bedroom and using the downstairs Hub but for some reason the Wii U just doesnt play ball?

[MrMarbles]

Ahh, the joy of the 9am-6pm delivery window.

->Open Spoiler<-

Not sure whether it's safe to poo or not.

Giant bomb dudes have had the issue more than once on more than one WiiU with more than 1 access point.
