I forgot to mention last night that requiring a charge to my credit card of 50 cents to prove that I'm an adult in order to set up parental controls is silly as hell.

its nintendos way to prove that a parent gave a child permission to set up an account... however it is stupid... its possible to confirm age using a credit card without actually charging anything...
just by running a check to see if the credit card is valid

I'm under 18, and was honest with my signing up. I was never asked for the 50 cents. Did I do something wrong?

@Wavey, I don't have NSMBU yet! Its unfortunate, but I'm getting it for Christmas this year as I only had enough to get my Deluxe yesterday. Nintendo Land should do just fine for another month, so much fun.

My Wii U should be arriving tomorrow. And the next day after that I'll finally have my 60" HDTV. Now My excitement level has sky rocketed into solar mega pixels. er?

@emaany'
So how are you liking NSMB.U so far? It's dissapointing that they reused a lot of the familar music from the previous NSMB titles. Hell, even the Koopas and Goomba's still twist and bounce to the "Bah! Bah Bah!" beats. I guess we can all look at this as the final entry for the series and can now look forward to something entirely new for our old pal' mario. As for Nintendo Land... I'm probably the most excited to play that Ninja Castle Shuriken based mini game. Being able fling Shurikens off the Wii U touch screen would even make Ryo Haybusa foam at the mouth.

What TV did you get? You had to beat me out by an inch, didn't you?

So I should be picking up my Wii U tonight, I had to much stuff going on yesterday. I am just going play NintendoLand until after I finish Skyward Sword though.

To blessed to be stressed.
80's music makes me feel fabulous.

When will people learn NEVER TO BUY CONSOLES DAY 1. Wait a couple months then get it because things always screw up day 1. Miiverse already got hacked, thousands of peoples consoles are now bricked, and there are so many hardware issues with people's Wii Us right now, including yours.

lol it wasn't hacked.
And thousands of consoles bricked?
Source please.

Anyways, about the Disc Issue, contact Nintendo Support. They'll be more helpful than us at this point.

As no one answered my last question im probably wasting my breath (or text) Question is can you only create a Nintendo I.D on the Wii U or is there a Nintendo Website you can do it on

That's why you keep your receipt... If it craps out day one at least you can return it, or sign it up on CN before 90 days and they'll fix it

Charming is the pefect word. This system has personality!

It's no wonder, that the Wii U software director is the same director for the Animal Crossing games. Everything from the music to the visuals, even in the menus, is full of charm.

How do online preorders work anyway? Does it ship on release day, or do they ship, like, before so you get it on or a day after release or something? o.o
Ah well, hopefully I'll get it this week, since it shipped today.
So what's up with that major problem with the huge update?

Depends on how the house was built. My house has REALLY hollow walls, so chances are I'll be able to do this too.

Are you serious?!

Does the Wii U have that big of a signal range?

I don't know how the US laws work on this but here in Australia there are federal laws that protect consumers from product faults. Stores aren't allowed to blame the manufacturer or send you to another if a product is faulty and they aren't allowed to have a "no returns" policy. They have to give a full refund or replacement.

MiiVerse wasn't hacked. It's a web browser and someone accidentally found their way to a test page. The test page has now been removed. Peoples consoles have been bricked but that's always going to happen when you give 100,000+ people a 1hour update. Some idiots are going to turn their console off half way.

It uses 5Ghz WiFi so yeah it can. Problem with that frequency though is that while it gives you pretty awesome bandwidth it's range really sucks. Which is good because there is never much interference but bad because it can't handle walls too well.
