Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Hmm, when do we think the update will land? Surely today's planned maintenance will just prep the system for it, and then the update itself will land, what, Wednesday/Thursday? I'm betting that a Nintendo Direct will be announced either today or tomorrow (for either Tuesday or Wednesday), while the update itself will be delivered as soon as the maintenance is finished (the idea being that the console will just autodownload it overnight and then during the Nintendo Direct they can say "ooh lookie! As soon as you turn your Wii U on, you'll notice all these awesome new features from the update that downloaded itself to your Wii U!") Edit: AWWWW YEAHHHHH!!! I'm too good at this malarkey! :awesome: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=688069 Who needs Emily Rogers?

Posted September 30, 2013 Despite my general dislike for FIFA in recent years, I had a couple of games of FIFA 13 last night with @dazzybee The connection was pretty terrible at times but it kinda felt good to play something online on Wii U I didn't play particularly well.. but I never felt entirely comfortable either. I played the first game with the Wii U Pro Controller and the second with the Wii U Gamepad but neither option felt right when it came to playing a football game The ergonomics just felt a little off to the point where I was practically thinking about it constantly and taking me out of the game.. It may be that I've just become accustomed to playing traditional football games with the PlayStation pad over the years, but I genuinely feel like this sort of thing could be a problem in other Wii U games too. Does anyone else feel like there's something just not quite right..? Nintendo controllers used to always fit me like a [power] glove.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2013 I had similar issues with Zelda. Just seems the controller was made for short bursts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 1, 2013 I just finished the system update! I love that Nintendo can now push software onto my Wii U! I like the new 'world clock' when opening Miiverse. The friend list icon has finally been added onto the Wii U menu. The website itself is displayed as I write this reply. The latest version is called 4.0.0E.

Posted October 2, 2013 That Luigi WiiMote looks wonderful! I just wish they weren't always so expensive And I updated my Wii U today, I probably won't use many of the new features but they sound cool. One thing I did hear is that youtube is fixed on the internet browser which was music to my ears. Buuuuuut I seem to be getting 'video can't be played on this device' on like every other video I click on :S Is anyone else getting this? My internet is usually really weird though, so it could just be me. And I'm slightly disappointed that Nintendo TVii didn't spring to life after this update but i'll still keep the faith. ...I just hope it doesn't turn into another tab cube situation I'm still healing after that.

Posted October 2, 2013 Shit, if that's the case then YouTube is almost useless on the browser because at least half the videos I watch on YouTube seem to have adverts. It did almost seem too good to be true before though when the browser would let you just skip to the very last second of an advert and then move on to the proper video.

Posted October 2, 2013 Does anybody know how to actually set Wii Mode (and only Wii Mode!) to output in stereo? The change log for this update seemed to suggest that they'd fixed this but I'm still getting five channels being sent to my amp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 3, 2013 The fact that YouTube will only allow ad-free vids to play on the Wii U browser now is pretty damn shitty. I'm assuming this is just a way to try and force people use the app/watch annoying ads. All vids still play on that, right? Can't test it myself, deleted that thing ages ago!
