Anybody else having with Nintendoland and freezing issues? It was playing fine, played quite a few games then started freezing for no apparent reason. =/

Everything is freezing. This machine doesnt have the reset button as the Wii did so I have to take the power cord out about once or twice a day during heavy playing. Sucks.

Have you completed the updates? I havent had a hang, but I also let everything update before I played any of the games in any depth.

Nintendoland has just started freezing for me, but I haven't played that much since I got BlOps2. That being said, there is some speculation that it has something to do with Internet connectivity, and that disabling some of the Miiverse features can help alleviate the freezing.

Yep. WHat I've specifically read was changing your language settings to "English only" in Miiverse. I haven't had an opportunity to test this out though. Sure do miss that reset button.

My only issue with Nintendoland freezing is when I start the DK game. Haven't had any other problems at all.

Outside of the F-Zero game, I haven't had any further issues with freezing on Nintendo Land. Still have one now and then when browsing apps on the main menu.

On the last level (14) of the Zelda Battle Quest (as the archer). It's the last one I need "Mastered" status on. Been very close a couple times. Hopefully I'm able to get it tonight!

For the Metroid attraction, how do you destroy a Metroid without the Ice Beam? Can't seem to figure it out.

Mine has frozen in the plaza, the coin game, DK, and the Zelda game. Doesn't seem to matter what game is involved. It does all seem to happen in the first few minutes of play- so it seems pretty clear that it's related to the game processing the external mii-verse data into your game.

I laid the system back down flat and haven't had any issues since. I'm 100% certain that it's unrelated to the system orientation, but whatever.

HI all, does anyone know anything about this controller? All I want to know is the controller works or not, I know 3rd party accessories can be a pain...

I'm wondering the same thing. My cousin has some 320 gigs he's selling for cheap but they are just the passport drives. Would they work without the power adapter?

I want to buy a set of those also. I wish I knew actual release date... I'd rather just walk in and pick some up. (Walmart has them online also.)

You Charge it . Just wait until try to beat level without using Charge Shots to Master it.

I thought I turned a corner with Razor's Edge. I thought all was well and good and the game was finally turning into something fun. And then came Theodore. Now the boss itself is a challenge, and more akin to Genshin in NG2 Vanilla, but that's only part of the problem. The big problem here is that there's NO SAVE POINT before this boss. So what does that mean exactly? You'll always fight him with about half health. Complete. Utter. BULLSHIT.

From experience, 3rd party controllers suck! However, what intrigues me the most (other than the cool retro designs) is the Wii compatibility. The first party Pro controllers don't work with the Wii. I officially decommissioned my Wii (there's only one place for the sensor bar, so the Wii U wins), but it's good to know that the 3rd party Wii U controllers actually work with the Wii as well.

Not only does that work with Wii games, but it works with NSMBU, because it acts as a Wii Remote. However what I wonder if that includes motion control? Like for tilting platforms and such. I don't know if that's in NSMBU, but it was in NSMBWii as I recall. But my experience with 3rd party controllers in the past has not been good, so I'm definitely taking a wait and see approach with this thing.

Gee, I suppose that now that I have the Internet working I should check out this Miiverse thing. I only ever saw it with "demo" comments when my wireless wasn't connecting properly. Also, I've had no freezing issues whatsoever except for once the first time I turned it on. But now if I start having problems I guess I can blame Internet connectivity/Miiverse for that.

Curious, are those of you having issues having them post OS and game updates?

I havent had any hard locks, but I have had the Amazon Video app bug out once and fail to respond on the Gamepad, yet still play video on the main screen.

So is the consensus now that the Wii U had a soft launch despite Nintendo claims that it "sold out everywhere"? I just checked Walmart inventories for various high population density areas around the country and most places have the 32GB in stock.

I recommend calling them and asking if they actually have it in store.
