Some suspect Miiverse to be behind the bugs, and have experienced zero glitches after turning that off. So that may be one temporary solution until a patch is released to stabilize the system.

OH [parasitic bomb] IM USING LINK AND I ACCIDENTALLY FINAL SMASHED A CUCCO OH GOD HELP
Just enjoy yourself, don't complain about everything

That actually wouldn't surprise me; Miiverse was EXTREMELY error-ridden on launch day, to the point of being downright unusable at times.  Obviously it's gotten better since then.

.....I'm sorry but how does eBay allow this?  $25,000 for a piece of [tornado fang]ing cardboard, and why are people that stupid? I just want to flip a table or something. -AC

EDIT: Actually I have another question the bidder names look unusual, is it possible they're bots or something similar?

I am glad you're able to tell it's just a joke, and not take it seriously.

Owait.

I'm afraid I'm not following that last part.

People have sold nothing on ebay before so a piece of cardboard isn't that much of a big deal.

Also some Ubuntu related things.

I like how the article writer assumes that Ubuntu means a PC is running, not that Wii U just happens to run on a platform that is Ubuntu friendly.

Yoshi's Land? Not Island?

Color me curious.

If they use Island as the ideal standard instead of Yoshi's Story the results could be... good.

Yoshi's Island may be the best, but Yoshi's Story kicked the ever loving crap out of that YI-inspired DS game.  Looking at something great and making something great are two different things.

To those of you with soft-modded Wiis who are too nervous to find out what happens if you transfer to a WiiU:

All reports that I've seen say that the WiiU transfer tool not touch anything unlicensed, so HBC, Riivolution, BootMii etc. will remain functional on your old Wii system (you can install them on a WiiU through game-based hacks like Smash Stack, as Vixy brought up earlier).

Thinking that a NAND restore for your old Wii will let you keep VC/WiiWare on both systems (not to mention system-locked game saves)?  Well, it will...until you connect your old Wii to the Shop Channel.  Doing so will "reset" the licenses on your old Wii, removing your ability to play the old games.  So while you CAN maintain a functional copy of all of your stuff on both systems, all new purchases from that point on, whether Shop Channel or eShop, must be on the WiiU system only.

So, headsets.  I got the Ear Force N11, works great on 3DS, no response on WiiU's mic test.

Did some searching, and it seems that even though headsets may only be plugged into the game pad, and earphones naturally replace the pad's speakers, the system does not consider the headset mic a replacement for the pad mic.  So, games that use a headset may not use the pad mic (Nintendo's stated no online voice chatting through the pad mic), and it seems, vice versa.

Did anyone ever ask...why?  The only thing I can imagine is fear of the pad's speakers interfering.  Otherwise, it just seems bat crap crazy.

Well, here's hoping these things will work with Monster Hunter...

Japan's playing it now.  Supposedly the U.S. will get it by the end of March (a specific date was not set, IIRC).

Hopefully I'll see some fellow RPMers in that one.  For a while I was debating whether or not I should be supporting Capcom in an "update old game" tactic, but honestly it is the WiiU game that I'm most excited for between now and then, so yeah.

I'm still wondering when the crap we're getting Dragon Quest...

So I'm hearing the Wii U isn't selling that great? Maybe it's a games thing?

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

One week of failure, in a traditionally slow month on a console facing a traditional post-launch lull, and the system is DOOMED!!!

One week ago, IGN dubbed WiiU a "moderate success", launching with greater momentum than the PS3 and 360 did (neither of which did all that great out of the gate, if you recall), but a far cry from the insane numbers that Nintendo managed with all of the grannies who instantly bought every spare original Wii ever made for the first two years of its life.

Why anyone finds that surprising, I have no idea.  This is what happened to pretty much every home console in history BUT the original Wii.

Pure black and white on a touch-panel with no undo button?
Yeah, there are some freaks of nature out there.  I USED to think I was artistic, before I got a WiiU. >U<

I thought you could choose a single color to use. On that note, when you download it for yourself, can you change the color?

That's Swapnote.

Miiverse is only B&W.

I only reposted stuff, so naturally if there is something I didn't mention its because nothing was posted about it.

Wind Waker HD? Bought instantly!  <3

That last game with the mech looks interesting as well. Plus Yoshi! XD
