That happened to me at first too. Funnily, it turned out that the only problem was that I didn't plug in the sensor bar correctly. Have you tried unplugging and plugging back in the sensor bar?

My facecam on Nintendoland won't work. It just shows a still picture and doesn't like, move if you know what I mean. Has anyone had this problem?

Your probably right but as the age old saying goes, "If I can make a difference in at least one n00b's (Doesnt necessarily have to be a n00b for this quote to be accurate as you are probably aware of) life, then my mission is complete :3

@GamecubeMan don't fall into the trap of not differentiating n00b from newb.
Newbs need help.
n00bs are game trolls who spam/exploit and are generally beyond help...

Otherwise good thread...

Thank You very much..Thats exactly what it was..The console it self was trying to be the sensor bar cause it wasn't plugged in all the way..again MANY Thanks.

Can you directly reply to a comment someone left on a Miiverse post of yours?

Yeah in 'messages' just click on their post and press 'comment' in the lower right corner on the gamepad screen

Awesome! Thanks.

The only way this thread would be effective, is if NintendoLife had stickies.

I'm the only one making this thread effective It would have quickly sunk to the bottom of the pile if I wasn't around.

Totally agree with this. But that wouldn't really help since for some reason people dont look for threads on this site, they just make one without looking first. Look when this thread was created and now look how many question threads have been made.

Yeah we know because I already pointed that out to the OP at the start of the thread

Now can we get back to the questions please.

If people used a sole thread like this, there wouldn't even be all those other 'specific' questions being asked every hour or so. Haha. There's probably been 10 seperate threads for Wii to Wii U transfer, audio/headsets, and 'what should I get?'. There really only should be a thread for questions, ideas(complaints/shortcomings/improvement), each game, etc., but instead there's 10-20 total for each... You really can't blame the people who do look first, but can't find it. I've done that before.

Sorry @MadAussieBloke. I was typing that before you posted. Back to the questions...

@SCAR a woise guy ay... why I oughta (raises dukes)

But wouldn't that mean the WiiU forum would only consist of one thread? that is a legitimate question

Haha, no. There would be a thread for each game specifically, a Wii U questions thread, an idea thread, recommendations. That's it. There would be only around 20 seperate threads for Wii U if everyone stopped making a repetitive thread. Maybe Nintendo Life should stop letting people make new threads, and deal w/ the ones we have already. It's not like any Wii U questions would be out of place in the Wii U questions thread. Haha...

Jeez, glad you're not a mod here. You'd be ruling this place with an iron fist.

Haha. Well, if they just had the minimum amount of threads already set it stone, we wouldn't have 100s of 'unfindable' or 'irrelevant' ones, vs. 20.

Hey guys,

Tried using headphones with my gamepad for the first time last night, noticed that they didn't work, and sound was still coming from the gamepad's speakers. These headphones work with any other headphones input, and I also tried a few other pairs..

Is this problem common? Anyone else been experiencing it?

@Seancy hey mate first I need to gather some info that might help me help you

Does this problem occur on the main HOME screen?

have you tried using youtube in the web browser to check your headphones?

What games are you using headphones for?

I know mine work perfectly fine... Maybe the headphone jack in the gamepad is faulty bro.
