And who was the guy, yes the guy that brought the homebrew channel hack to the Wii.

No the hole im refering to is on the reverse of the gamepad but underneath if u get me, it looks like a screw hole that u would mount it on something and its not the battary compartment or anything.Comment

Can't, my super slim PS3 and my PC network card doesn't support it. However my phone does. :/ Tempted to get a new router and just run the super hub in modem mode. Does the Wii U support 5ghz for the internet too or just the gamepad?Originally posted by EvilBoris View PostComment

Re: Nintendo Wii U (Thread 2!)
Nintendo have really ballsed this up. No ootion for hdmi video and analog audio. Also no 60hz mode for wii games if you use hdmi. Seriously.Comment

Yes but its gaming in HD. ( sarcasm removed if it wasn't so funny, & its 350 quid kerching $$$ ), but your all foaming at the mouth to purchase one too.Comment

Well I'm loving the machine
personally I think the gamepad is classic Nintendo and thank them for trying something new in today's stagnant gaming market.
All this talk about cpu speed is the same as when the super famicom launched and the press started criticizing the processor for being too slow at 21MHz but it's effective speed was 3.58MHz early games such as gradius 3 had some horrific slow down at first but we all know how many classics came out in its life span

Yeah, but still immensely poor. The only plus side I can say is... All these problems can be ironed out with a firmware update, and to an extent as early adopters we should perhaps expect teething problems...Originally posted by originalbadboy View Post
Issue list
WiFi Connectivity
Lack of 60Hz via HDMI (Wii Mode)
Limited Rage RGB via HDMI
Lack of Audio configurations
Gamepad colour reproduction
Menu/System speed

The lack of audio options (i.e. only supporting 5.1 via Linear PCM) is because Nintendo didn't want to pay the licensing fees required to offer Dolby Digital or DTS and similar standards. I wouldn't expect this is something that will come from a firmware update. Obviously, LPCM is lossless and uncompressed so is a great option, but it's only available via HDMI so if you have an oldish receiver you won't be able to support it.
The Wii 50hz only via HDMI thing is absolutely shocking if true.Comment

Re: Nintendo Wii U (Thread 2!)
Well at least Nintendo have passed the dts, Dolby and blu ray license savings on to the customer. Oh, wait...
So stereo through my tv is my only audio option. Fabulous. Still toying with getting one like an idiot.Comment

Trouble is this is Nintendo we are talking about ... System Updates are hardly their forte ...Originally posted by Shozuki View Post
I had Youtube crash on me when I tried it this morning .. In fact it doesn't seem to work at all at the moment.
I haven't had any signifcant WiFi issues so far.
To me the gamepad screen looks great, not noticing any colour issues mself, but then I haven't tried it with games etc yet.
The menu system speeed is a little on the slow side, depending on where you are gonig to and from, but its not as bad as being made out.
Limited range RGB is a pisser, and I really hope that isn't a hardware limitation, otherwise Nintendo will have shot themselves in the foot.
I do love the fact I can just turn the console on without having to fire up the PJ in order to check / download things, that is the one thing that annoys me about the 360 and PS3. The fact that yuo can do it all from the sofa, and control your TV as well if you like is a master stroke from Nintendo, in its execution as least.Comment
