Topic: Wii U launch discussion

Im still hoping to get one soon!

WaraWara Plaza and the Miiverse message board is definitely how I wanted it. At least I know when I get a Wii U those things in particular will be good.

Eh, I'm good then, mine should be here tomorrow. Coolz.

That's correct.

Can I still access my Wii saved data from an SD card? On the Wii mode, without using the transfer?

I don't want everything to leave my Wii, I just want to have my saved data on the Wii U should I ever want to play certain Wii games.

Isn't it an all or nothing proposition? Can you be selective on what you transfer?

^ Well that's for transferring. Am I able to just access save data from an SD through the Wii mode?

It's similar to how Gamecube memory cards work. I can have it in the Wii and access saved data from there if I were to play Gamecube games with backwards compatibility.Is it not that simple with the Wii U playing Wii games except with an SD instead of a memory card?

This is all a hassle. I don't want to format my Wii of all data just to occasionally play Wii games on my Wii U with saved data intact.

Well. Excuse my earlier upset.
I was able to pick up my Wii U today, but it's being held hostage until Christmas.

Ugghhhhh...

Sorry to hear that. I have to check back friday for it in this store

Will be the longest wait for me tomorrow...lol
Then even more wait when I get it and deal with the update. xD

You and me both. But it will be worth it.

I forget, does Wara Wara Plaza show everyone or just people you know? Because, if it gets to crowded, it would be cool if there were communities you could have on it, as in just showing NL users.

With my 1.5 or so MB per second internet speed it might update in 3 hours.
Ah well, I can wait a few additional hours, I've been waiting for like.. What, +2 years now?

So I wasn't planning on getting a Wii U anywhere near launch, but I went to Gamestop and put my name on their waiting list just for fun to see how long it would take them to get new shipments. I was like the 15th name on the list, all for the Deluxe edition. They just called me saying they have one for me. That was fast. Now I just have to decide if I actually want to go get it or not. They're only holding it for me until closing tomorrow, so I have to decide quickly.

Its just everyone, not sure if your friends show up especially or not.

ONLY 9 DAYS LEFT EUROPE!!!!

Hey guys, guess what I'm getting a Wii U!!! I've finally got an answer out of my parents and they're happy with me putting my money up for this machine. I'm not gonna be able to buy it on launch day here in NZ, but that's because it's just too complicated at the moment for me to preorder and pick up on the day.
Does anyone know the full Europe/Australasian launch list? I'm sure there's some titles not being released here, but I already know what I want. I'm hopefully gonna pick up a Premium Wii U bundle, ZombiU and New Super Mario Bros. U, plus maybe a Pro controller.
I'd love to hear from anyone who already has a Wii U to tell me their thoughts on the launch titles though, I'd like not to be suckered into buying something like Rabbids Land. Hmm... gonna need to read some reviews too.

Actually it's only a 1GB download apparently. People are reporting that it's taking about an hour and the average internet speed is around 9Mbps. So there are two possible ways to look at this.

If it's downloading it at full speed and then that means you're waiting for the console to verify stuffs so about 45mins of that hour doesn't involve downloading. In that case you'll be waiting for about 2hours 15mins on your what I'm going to assume is 1.5Mbps (not "1.5MB") 'nets. If however the server was loaded at the time and people were limited to ~2.2Mbps as a result it means you'd only have to wait 1hour 30mins.... while everyone is by then only waiting 15mins.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but has anyone else experienced loading problems? I experienced an infinity load on the e-shop the first time I got on it and I had to pull the plug on the system (it wasn't a lack a paitence I waited 40-50 minutes) and I had the problem again while playing arkham city which made me quit the game.

p.s the Wii U is awsome!

Those are the same two games I picked up (Buy 1 get one 40% of at Target when they price matched Toys R Us) and I've been happy with my purchase so far. I've got a coworker that picked up NSMBU and the Scribblenauts game and he's happy with his purchase so far too.
