  1. Remember that Nintendo stated that it was possible for 3rd parties to set their own pricing on the WiiU eShop, so is this a case of WB not sorting it out?
  2. Sold/Traded: N/A Discs: Nintendo Land Batman: Arkham City Tank, Tank, Tank! ZombiU eShop: Nano Assault Neo To Buy List: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Mass Effect 3: Special Edition (when incredibly cheap) The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD Bayonetta 2 Xenoblade 2 New Super Mario Bros. U Game & Wario Aliens: Colonial Marines LEGO City: Undercover and all New Nintendo Games in the future.
  3. Got to go for HD remakes of Goldeneye, Metroid Prime trilogy, Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, and Super Mario 64.
  4. I want on-line enabled missions, with leaderboards, like Mario Kart Wii, and they were sorely missed on MK7. Why don't they add them, I thought that was what the spot-pass would be used for.
  5. I do plan on getting this, but when it's really cheap, like 15 quid or under.
  6. Bought this from TheHut at launch (for 40 quid), and it was the only thing that didn't arrive, got stopped at customs. They just gave me a refund and re-bought through The Base for 18.99 pounds, when I went to the checkout it showed up as 17.63 (well happy just saved a small fortune, under half the price of what I was willing to pay for it). Now I wait for delivery.
  7. Available in Japan: Premium Set for the princely sum of 42,000 Yen (293 British Pounds).
  8. Genius!! I bow to your wisdom.
  9. Restarted the campaign mode, and was doing well, until...
  10. The more I think about it, the more I'd like to see Pilotwings on the WiiU, but it has to a massive version with skydiving, pararchuting, etc, making a comeback... Fuck it, put pilotwings into a game with Wii U Sports on Wuhu island together. WUhU island fun, bit of bowling, rowing and then onto gliding.
  11. Hi Beni,

    Went to add you to my WiiU, but through Miiverse as it allows frind request, and makes it easier, but I can't click the Friend request button. If I add you through the friend list, you have to add me manually also, which is counter-intuitive. So, it's easier to add friends through the Miiverse.

     

    Are you up and running on the friends list yet?

  12. Hi Beni,

     

    last message using this, send via Miiverse in the future.

    Yeah, I am up and running, just when I'd nearly given up they arrived on Friday morning.

     

    So far so cool, I have barely scratched the surface and feel I need to do a lot more to get to grips with it and fully set-up. The first download install took over 3 hours for me, so I'm not looking forward to all the game installs on top of that. Haven't even played a game yet, though.

    My NNID is : londragon

     

    Thanks for all your help, I'm off to add your NNID.

  13. Really hope this doesn't turn out a mess-up. Looking forward to it, and hopefully some time next year, F1 2013.
  14. Hi Beni,

     

    Been a while, but hope you are all set-up with the adapters you needed. How's the WiiU going for you- plugged in yet?

     

    My adapters still haven't arrived, and they have been stuck in Holland for quite a while, nearly 2 weeks. So, I'm losing a bit of hope, but will wait until Friday, which will make it 3 weeks, before I decide to do anything else. I found some sellers on ebay selling the US adapter for the WiiU console at about US$20 (not including postage).

     

    Love the idea of the Nyko triple charge battery for the Gamepad, I may well be tempted with that when I'm set-up. I have bought 4 games with the console, ZombiU, Batman AC, NintendoLand and Tank Tank Tank (for my son, who's more impatient than I am to fire it up).

     

    Will write if any news,

  15. What with MS providing subscription packages for their consoles late last year, I can see them pursuing this avenue more. Crazy idea, but does anyone think they'll go for a full subscription plan, so that you can't outright buy their console, but instead pay monthly which includes all online, etc.
  16. I loved this game, but actually preferred the Rare follow up. The one based on the Disney licence "Mickey's Speedway USA". I found the Karts too loose in Diddy Kong, whilst the karts in the Mickey game felt, at least in the fastest speeds, like a proper racing game. It had such a good feeling of tighter control, but unfortunately no adventure mode.
  17. Found the website and another that @Rick9999 is on about above, only for wholesale buyers, but as Rick said that means there should be a supply into the market soon. Here; http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=wii+u+ac+adapter and here; http://kailigame.gmc.globalmarket.com/products/details/ac-adapter-for-wii-u-gamepad-wii-u-game-accessories-r-1151116.html Also, found this website that are currently out of stock, but worth checking periodically as they supply for single purchases, here; http://store.richspsxparts.com/newwiiuacadw.html The above link is for the US version, just click through to find the European ones.
  18. Hi Beni,

     

    can see that you signed for yours. You set-up yet?

     

    What are your first impressions of the WiiU?

  19. Hi Beni

     

    just checked the tracking for your package from me, and it said they tried to deliver it twice on Monday 7th January, once before noon, and once after, but both times no answer. I don't know where they'll drop it off at now though.

  20. Also, if buying a voltage transformer, the Wii U runs at a maximum of 70 Watts, so don't buy a 50W transformer make sure it's 100W to be safe. Yeah, I had 3 emails from NoA and NoE saying that they just could not help me with my problem, that I needed to buy the adapters from Nintendo in the country I was living in, and they completely ignored the fact there is no Nintendo of Taiwan. It just kept going around and around and in the end they were no help and blamed me for buying a Wii U and moving/taking it to a different country saying that my warranty is now invalid, the on-line will not function as sold. I mean thanks, but no thanks. I am so pissed off at them, but still looking forward to when I can plug the machine in. Their extremely inane decision making over region control still doesn't deter me from their great products/games/etc.
  21. Well, I ended up exchanging my UK AC Adapters with a new member on the forums. He had exactly the reverse situation as I did. Having US adapters. A swap has been made and both sets of adapters are on-route, only another 2 weeks to go before I find out if my Wii U functions OK after its long journey. Nervous times Thanks @Beni for all your help.
  22. Hi Beni,

    Happy New Year.

     

    Good news and Bad news.

     

    Bad news first. When my wife and I went to get the delivery tracking number this morning, the parcel was still in the post office waiting for delivery because of the holidays.

    Now the good news. So, I re-scheduled the parcel as an express mail service which will arrive in Norway in a week. So, in 7 days you should get your adapters. They also apologised for the delay and gave me the express delivery cheaper than usual.

    A win-win situation.

     

    Here's the tracking number EE663363294TW

     

    I labelled it as gift for under $20 US, so all's OK there, too.

     

    I have been away for a couple of days visiting friends, so I hadn't read your messages until now. I'm glad the 10% discount looks as if it'll be OK, I'll have to join/sign up for the UK website/eShop.

     

    See you on the WiiU soon, hopefully,

  23. Apparently, if you don't finish the Strike-force missions you don't get the 'good' endings. Source ONM review.
  24. Does the Single-player campaign have as many glitches as some websites have suggested. And how are those Strike-force levels I've heard they are totally borked? What's your take on it Kav, as I might pick this up when it gets cheaper in a couple of months.
