Yes quite a few retail games are available digitally. Honesty right now is the best time to buy an external HDD since you have the Black Firday/Cyber Monday deals going on and a few places have external HDDs on sale for that or this week.

I am enjoying having the 1 terabyte HDD that I got for $20, just in case I ever do need that much memory but for $20 why wait to get it later. Of course I do only have a 8gb system though.

Still available? Link? Did you mug someone? It's cool if you did, I won't tell. I don't know if I'd trust other people in this thread though.

Nah bought mine from a friend but Walmart does have a 1 terabyte HDD for $59 Black Friday. Target also has a 750 gigabyte for $39 this week.

The only thing that concerns me is Nintendo's rather steep prices when it comes to VC. If they're asking $8 for SNES games and $10 for N64 games, then they might be asking $15 or more for Gamecube games.
15$ isn't too much depending on the game. First party games for 15 $ might not be too bad when you look how much the price for them being inflated is. I am mostly talking about Mario and Fire Emblem.

Is the Target one a BF deal? I don't see any $39 USB HDDs of any size at Target.com right now.

The 64/cube controls were awesome, I just expected after 2 iterations of the classic controller that they shared the same design philosophy as Sony and Microsoft.

ZombiU even uses the upper-most face button for a lot of its actions, and I can't help but think its because of the layout.
Agreed completely, I assume that for FPS games that using the shoulder buttons for primary actions is call most devs will make and reserve the cluster for secondary actions.

I know the old Wiimotes with motion plus built in works with the Wii U, but I haven't really seen anyone talk about Wii-Motes with the Motion-Plus dongle, do those work as well? I have about 3 Wii-motes with the dongle, and just dropped $25 at TRU for my second FlingSmash box, but if the other ones work, I might save the $25 for something else..

The old-school Wii-Motes work without issue.

The only way this would change is if the VC games increase in size by a lot.
Damn good point. I did not play my Wii that much at all even though I got it at launch. I might have gotten 8 games for it total and I had a 2gb SD card in mine and it was more than enough. Good thinking bro as I was sure going to get a HDD on BF but I will wait as I have the system but no games as simply put I do not know which one game I would want to start with. I know everyone loves Nintendo for the exclusives, but I am a MP guy and I like to go online with my games so I was looking for something to play online with like maybe Madden or Fifa or something of that nature.

Home button -> Controller Settings

From there you can turn the screen off and put it in power saver mode. I don't know how to turn it off completely, but I usually just put the GamePad in its cradle when not in use.

This got lost yesterday- but I have a ton of wii points on my wii u (emulator) that I want to gift to friends that just have a wii. Is that still possible? It appears that you can't have friends in the emulator ($20 in gifted games to the first person that figures it out how to do it!)

Question

Anyone know if it's possible to install games to an external HD for faster loading times (ala 360/PS3)?

Anyone setup the WiiU with a TiVo? Supposedly DVR streaming is coming, and TiVo was named specifically so I know it's possible, I'm just not having any luck setting it up as the second screen tv feature.

Thanks! Used the "Display Off" option and your answer also helped me locate my Friend List. Didn't know where it went after it disappeared from the plaza when popular game icons took over.
