Wii U Friend List Names!

If you just got a Wii U like we did here, post your Wii U Friend Names!

Mine's Kajimaru. Feel free to add me anytime.

How is it?

Id add you if I could update my damn system, lol.

I think my wireless is just ***and ill have to get a LAN adapter tomorrow.

Lots of launch problems is what I am hearing.

Only launch problem is the update because its 5 gigs and everyone was trying to download it at once. Other then that,nothing else has really been reported.

The launch was fine. Being used to 2-4 hour updates due to FFXI, I knew the Wii download wouldn't be to bad if I waited. At first my internet wouldn’t keep connection, but the 3rd time it stuck pretty good. AT&T sucks out where I live. I started the update at around 5:30 and it was done in about an hour.

After the boot up, it's a pretty quick to register your TV, Cable or Satellite Provider (Wii GamePad is also a universal remote), and the rest of your settings.

I've only played one game, Nintendo Land, and it's kind of like Mario Party without the board. The Metriod Mini-game is probably the best thing on that disc. I'm looking forward to family and friend’s time with Mario U and some serious survival horror with Zombie U.

Online community seems very friendly. Alot of people seem to think it will end up like Xbox Live without the dark underbelly. If you are under 18 you need to have your parent pay .50 to create an online account. It's a one-time fee that is probably just to make the parent aware that their child is playing online.

Looks like it'll have alot of potential on it's own and with third party games.

The couple of bad things I've noticed so far is that some programs load instantly where others (such as settings) takes a little while to load. I have heard complaints about Mass Effect 3 being a crappy port, but that is most likely EA game's fault. Another thing is that it looks like most of the games that will use the original Wii controllers required you to have Wii Motion Plus. I own one but now I need to replace the other 3 if I want to use the full potential of the system.

One of the best things I have discovered is that some Wii games look better in 1080p. Skyward Sword & Mario Kart Wii look fantastic. *.*


I need to quick talking to much, alot of this I want to save for a review for the ol' blog. Now, where is everyone's names?! I need friends for Zombies, Animal Crossing, and Mario highscores. XD

Only problems I'm hearing so far are idiots that are turning the system off mid system update and are bricking the system.

You know, that thing is says to NOT DO before it starts downloading, and says while it's updating, and anyone with common knowledge of electronics knows not to do?

Probably parents bought it for their kid, the kid did it cause they are impatient, and they go to their parents asking them to fix it. The parents don't know what to do because they never really dealt with that stuff, so they have to spend hours stressing over it trying to fix the system that they now regret even more buying for their child when they have enough games already >_>

just a guess

yeah probably, but then again, life lesson learned :P

one thing they should have done, was give a size count and a 'Estimated Time' so people would know to cancel it if they were impatient /shrug

and my Nintendo ID wtf ever it is... is... Gib? or TheGiB or The_GiB

I dunno, one of those 3

Finally got it all updated. Name is Deader2818.

I think I got an ulcer just reading this.

if i set it up right mine should be MoonlightEspada

Got the Wii U Deluxe Set 30 minutes ago. Was calling around after the GameStop's Wait List thing didn't work out. A Wal-Mart had one left because some lady never came to pick hers up. I'm glad I got it in time. Now doing the system update.

Target near home got another shipment this morning and I snagged one X.x still doing update here too

Everytime you post something I read it in Roger's voice. >.>;

could be worse. could be steves

Indeed...

Don't give me ideas

Need some more friends.

so do i lol list is empty
sent ya a friend thingie kajimaru
may of showed as Ohji idk lol

I sent you one last night as well. Hoping ZombieU comes in the mail this week so I have something other than NintendoLand to play. ^^

I find systems not worth getting at launch because no games I like I would rather wait abit untill I see a game I like and for systems to drop in price abit. If I see a new zelda and sonic game that is worth getting then I will pick up a WII U

I dont think there has been a sonic game worth getting for a long time, lol.

Anyone have their system crash yet? I was streaming Hulu today, show froze midstream, gamepad unresponsive, power button didn't even work (not even on the console). I had to unplug the system and when I plugged it back in, it wouldn't power back on until I unplugged/replugged it again...

Kind of bothers me that it should crap out doing something as trivial as video streaming, but it's the only problem I've had so I don't know what I should do

There is suppose to be a patch coming soon to fix those issues.

Well I just hope it's software and not hardware..

happend when i was on youtube, hasnt done it since.


they need a way to link the nintendo network names online like psn/xbox does so we can have em listed under our avis ;3
