Wow, I bought Just Dance 4 through the eShop, 15GB download and a 2 hour install after it downloaded. I wonder if they'll figure out a preload system like Steam does for future titles? Absolutely love that the Gamepad provides all the download/install statistics though, leaves the TV free for computer use. It'll be nice leaving Twitch streams up while playing games on the pad.

Really having fun with my Wii U lately. It's nice playing console games regularly again after so long (since Dreamcast/Gamecube). It wasn't like this with the original Wii.

That's all, folks!

I thought you could only return it for the same item? Or is that 30 days?

Thanks! I decided to ask my parents for

1) Super Mario U
2) ZombiU
3) Tekken Tag Tournament 2
4) Assassins Creed 3

I wanted to ask for Sonic Racing, or Scribblenauts, but I didn't enjoy scribblenauts on the DS. It's a good game, it's just not my type of genre. Sonic Racing looked great, but it's gotten some really mixed reviews. Shame. I'll pick it up used though, as I want a cart racer.

Is there a way to view the post you've Yeah'd in Miiverse? I don't see anything in my profile that lets you.

Viewing this site using the Wii U browser. Definitely much better than Wii's and 3DS's.

Back to playing Tekken...

So, what's the deal with external harddrives?

What's recommended? USB Powered external drive or one that plugs into the wall?

I can get a USB Powered Western Digital Passport 500GB drive for about $30. Real cheap, but I want to know if it'd work with the console or not.

Do USB powered ones need the Y Adapter?

Some do, some don't. I'd say it's worth the 5 bucks to get the cable if you can find an external on sale.

Well Tekken is awesome, except for the fact I can't play it worth of shit. I need a video tutorial series on how to play it, any ideas?

I'd suggest that you try out the Practice mode and get familiar with each character's moveset. Once you're in that mode, hit the + button to bring up options...there you can see Command List. It'll show you button combos for various moves.

Anyone looking for a spare Wii U gamepad? I stumbled upon this on eBay. It might not have total functionality though.

Oh, on a sidenote, does anyone know if the Wii U is compatible with the online features of old Wii games (i.e. playing Smash Bros. Brawl & Tatsunoko v. Capcom)? Thanks! I still have my Wii U in the box and I'm not 100% sure if I'm keeping it yet (only because my PS3 backlog is so long). Though the more I keep hearing about the it, I think I wanna keep it...

Noone, he just gonna get hit with fees and have to file a non-paying bidder with Ebay and fight to get it credited.


Still easily available around here 2 yesterday and 1 deluxe left tonight at Wal-mart. I'm still holding out and not biting though Youtube is a big help.

Florence KY Wal-mart if anyone wants it go gets it.

FYI, I ordered a copy of Scribblenauts Unlimited Wii U earlier from amazon (have to go to other new offers) for $39.99. There's a 2-3 week wait, but I just need it for Xmas. Isn't this a $59.99 retail game?

AFAIK there aren't any demo downloads on the eShop, just videos/screenshots.

Indeed it is, I believe they are price matching Target's ad for the week.

Prime Instant Video works fine, though. Briefly watched The Terminator.
