So I just got my Wii U and updated it and was all excited. But I keep getting "Invalid Disc" errors on both NSMBU and Nintendo Land. Anyone else get this and have a fix?

The Youtube app is really bad. Just stick to watching stuff in the web browser.

If it's happening with two discs... High-probability option: Bum disc drive, contact Nintendo Low-probability option: Two bum discs, you won some awful lottery Comedy option: If your console is standing upright, make sure you're inserting discs with the label facing to the right

I probably only use the Youtube app on HD videos for the tv, as I don't know how well the browser would handle playing those. I really don't get why the app version of Youtube always has the "hide restricted content" option. It so annoying going to your favorite video page and seeing holes because something can't be seen due to a flag.

I nearly had to strike his hand away. But yeah seems like I'll need to exchange it. I'll have to wait until Friday because of Thanksgiving and Gamestop being closed.

I can't believe Sonic Racing was only $40, I wish I'd known sooner. Pretty awesome game, reminds me of Diddy Kong Racing minus all the weird overworld wandering. Never expected the cool variety of non-Sonic characters and levels either. My only complaint is that you can't have two people playing as the same character online, apparently. I leveled Tails, damnit. Everyone stop picking Tails. Skunk Ape fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Nov 22, 2012 |

Eh, nevermind. The App is just so awful looking that I just deleted it. I don't like how the Hulu, Amazon, and Youtube app don't show any menus on the gamepad, forcing you to the tv. Oh well,.

absolutely anything posted:The Youtube app is really bad. Just stick to watching stuff in the web browser. Yeah, it's very dissapointing. I don't know why they didn't add any gamepad support other than using it to show video descriptions. It's such a convoluted mess right now.

Did the games themselves happen to have updates? It seems like every app or game I play for the first time has to download a small update first. Not sure if the updates are required for the games to work, or if those games even had updates (I don't remember).

My Sonic Racing said it couldn't be read the first time I tried it, then I popped it in and out, it started the update the next time, and then was fine. Maybe it has something to do with the updating process.

So far, things have been going relatively smoothly for the few hours I've been playing Nintendo Land. Only two notable issues: 1) I hit the Home button while playing Nintendo Land, and tried to return to the Wii U Menu. It got hung up when trying to load the menu, though, so after 5 or so minutes, I had to pull the plug (couldn't turn off console any other way). 2) I got that lovely freeze/buzz bug while playing Nintendo Land. So far as we can tell, these are just software/OS issues, correct? Also, I was able to fix the slight delay/slightly out of sync audio between my gamepad and T.V. Had to switch the A/V setting on my T.V. to "Game mode," and that made things nice and smooth. XOIC of Radishes fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Nov 22, 2012 |

The little details of the armored bug boss's shell cracking when you threw Rock Pikmin at him was basically what won me over on the Wii U. Nintendo does what other developers don't. It's why I love their games - each aspect of their games looks (and probably is) hand-placed. It gives it a lot of personality that a lot of other developers don't give their games. More excited than anything to see what Retro has been working on. If they could do the Prime trilogy on Gamecube/Wii technology, I think they'll blow us away with what they do on an HD system.

Yeah I'm really surprised with Miiverse. I just spent like half an hour making posts and replying to some. It's also great seeing what other people are saying about games I don't have right from the home screen and holy crap some people have talent drawing on the game pad. Miiverse integration with games is gonna be really awesome if devs do it right

Jim Dynasty Warriors Fan #1 Sterling posted his review of WO3 and it isn't pretty http://www.destructoid.com/review-warriors-orochi-3-hyper-239067.phtml Although comparing it to his DW Next vita review I think this man is smoking heavy crack. I never did play the 360/PS3 versions of WO3 but the Wii U game plays exponentially better than DW Next did on Vita. He gave the Vita game a 6/10.

I would imagine if you had played it previously this would be a big problem but for someone who never played WO3 the game runs just as good as DW Next Vita did. His review seemed to start out with praise and then he ripped it to shreds because it's not as good as PS3/360. I dunno, I like it I just wish I could understand how he rated it below DW Next that game was a pile of poo poo.

If the rewviewer wasn't Jim Sterling I'd say that it's because the Vita is unambiguously less powerful than the PS3 so it's more excusable that the game might not run as well as the console version, but because the review is Jim Sterling I'm gonna wager it's because Jim Sterling.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm only getting PCM 2.0 instead of 5.1 with my Wii U hooked up to my receiver via HDMI. In the system settings I made sure that Surround was selected, and when I do the chime test, it sounds like I get it from all speakers. While using Netflix, I only get sound coming out of my two front speakers, and I can't even switch to Dolby Pro Logic II since it's forcing 2.0. Same thing while playing Nintendoland and NSMBU. The only other place I can find any mention of this is on another forum where people are reporting the same thing. I'm sure it's not my receiver or the HDMI cable, because I can get DTS-HD Master Audio and uncompressed PCM 5.1 no problem with my Blu-ray player.

Got a deluxe from Target today. In complete love with this thing. The gamepad is outstanding and exceeds all of my expectations. It froze once for me though, but I'm hoping they iron that stuff out soon. Call me crazy, but this feels pretty "next gen."

Just to make sure, can you use an old Wiimote with the Motion+ dongle for multiplayer or does it have to be the newer model they released a while back? The OP doesn't state anything.
