You've Got your Wii U - Talk about it/Show it off here

Recommended Posts

Well, my Wii U has arrived (yay! :yay:) got it all out of the box and setup, but haven't powered it up yet. Why?... Because it's absolutely freezing! :o

Seriously, the touch screen on the game pad was soaked with condensation! And the console itself feels like an ice cube.

 

Dunno if the delivery guy had it next to some frozen meat or something :heh: but it's ridiculously cold.

 

So yeah, I'm waiting for it to acclimatise a bit before powering it up, just to be on the safe side.

Really want to start the system update though! Arrgghh, this is worse than waiting for it to arrive in the first place. :laughing:

 

By the way, I never got my dispatch e-mail. :heh:

 

That is odd... is it cold outside? Maybe the delivery guy left a window opened and his van got frozen on the inside....or maybe it was a refridgerated van :heh:

Not really, no.

God knows. :blank:

Oh man what should I do? I really wanna turn her on, but she still feels cold. :heh:

NINTENDO ID GET!

Well happy I was able to nab that.

 

I have to say, the OS is REALLY slow. It takes ages to skip between programmes. I've yet to try a game out yet as I've been too busy playing around with all the other stuff. :D

They're said to be fixing that with the next firmware update in the middle of next month

Glad to see and hear many of you with a WiiU already, i'm waiting patiently. Got a tonne of 360 and 3DS games to clear before a purchase shall be made, and by then i should have the funds. Quicker if a certain company gives me a rebate (which i'm due one of around £250)

Still updating
What time did you start? I've been going for about 25 minutes now and it's only around 20% downloaded.

 

For those that have updated already, how long does the actual installation phase take?

Has anyone checked out the eShop yet? Eager to know what is currently available for us to download!

 

BTW my update wasn't that slow really. Took about 40mins all in all (or so I was told by those enjoying it home right now, while I'm here at work...)

 

And my boxes were all really cold too. Strange, but it's working fine and nothing's damaged so I don't care :)

 

Edit: Nevermind, found a partial list here http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/11/nintendo_download_30th_november_2012_europe_wii_u_edition

 

WTF!? Is Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed really £39.99!? That's £10 ABOVE the retail RRP and the DD price on all other platforms, WTF SEGA!?

 

Can someone check the price of that game on the eShop for me? That can't be right surely? The RRP is £29.99!
