Crunchy roll and comixology. Btw, I saw that WWE Network ppresentation. That's gotta be a joke. They had two of the most selfish wrestlers back in the day in HBK and HHH announce it. I bet the wrestlers that sacrificed mind, body and soul for McMahon won't be too happy since there's no way they're getting kickbacks, specifically the Dynamit Kid, Bret Hart, Curt Henning, etc. sorry for the tangent, but I hate McMahon and how he's treated a majority of his wrestlers like cattle. Otherwise, yeah, comixology would be a great way to use the Gamepad.

HBO Go. I hate having to pay XBox Live monthly fees to watch Game of Thrones. I so badly want this app on the U.

Also would like to have Netflix and Amazon Instant Video without constantly buffering (can't watch an HD movie on the U because it can't handle the throughput demands).

Zelda is the best game series in history.

Bring back some of the Mii channels, I really loved those. Like Everybody Votes channel and the Mii Competition one.

There's almost no Mii utility left but but Miiverse and in Wii Sports Club, Nintendo Land and Wii Party U. There's no reason to get creative with Mii's anymore. There's not even a Mii parade or plaza for all your Miis, only the static shelf in Mii maker..

I figured someone would claim that, and I probably would have said the same. But it turns out there's a known issue with the U playing Amazon Instant Video in HD (according to both Amazon and Nintendo). Also Nintendo admits that their LAN adapter doesn't perform to spec. All other devices on the same environment pull at 30 mbps while the U comes in <2 mbps (via testmy.net). HD movies can't stream at <2 mbps. Nintendo tech support knows about this but no solution is forthcoming. As much as I despite MS and Sony, their's stream HD in the same environment without a hitch. I hate saying it because I like Nintendo and want them to do well, and for the most part I really like their products, but this Wii U console did not live up to their claims as a media device or even as a "net gen" console and isn't getting the support from Nintendo that I would expect. I wonder if they're simply cutting their losses and let it whither on the vine.

I want a new WarioWare DIY and Petit Computer. Software to make and share your own programs and (mini)games.

I also want a mediaplayer that can read media files from SD Card and a port of the new KORG Synthesizer that was recently released on 3DS.

And an update to the Flash Player in the Wii U's Internetbrowser.

So its only with the Lan adapter then? I just did testmy.net with my Wii U and got 8 Mbps and im only using a G router.

WWE Network App, as it sounds like the greatest streaming service in the history of mankind!

I haven't even followed it closely since 2001, but for $9.99 a month to watch ALL the old shows I can't resist.

Ahh crap, not this again. I refer you to this thread where I discussed this in detail:
https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/wii-u/wii_u_should_have_ha...

specifically this post which I will now quote:

Same speed and definitely not limited to 10Mbps. If you don't to a simultaneous test the bandwidth on both pushes upto 90-95Mbps on both. And for the record the "server" in this case was running on a gigabit adapter and there was gigabit cabling/switches from point to point all the way upto the adapter.

BOOM, done. Now just link back to this page whenever someone makes a thread like this again.

I mostly just want the netflix app to be improved. You can't change profiles, or do much to take advantage of the two screens. And there's no options to conserve gamepad battery, either.
