Screen rotates upside down when I put my "tablet" in portrait mode...

 

Also, this is not a bug, but I can't seem to find a windows 10 compatible driver for Splendid Utility, it stopped working properly in W 10, but supposedly Asus updated it with a fix but I didn't get anything...

Do you have a Book Flip? I have the TP500LN and have the rotation isue.

Not sure about Splendid, I did a clean reinstall and I did not put Splendid back on.

You can't if the keyboard is disabled

 

How long does the battery on yours last? And have you noticed the speakers being too quiet?

The batterry can last up to five or more hours at best case, but I usually keep it plugged in. I don't find the speakers that bad, but I had to get USB headphones because my audio jack is rainbow.

I have the same exact computer actually... i3 processor and 720p screen, correct?

 

EDIT: I lied... Mine is the TP500LA.

I have the i5 and Nvidia 840m, with 15" 1366x768 screen. I tried to get a version with the SSD cache but I couldn't find one, so I upgraded the drive to a 1TB Hybrid.

Aside from the rotation problem, Windows 10 works wonderfully on this laptop. It even replaced the Asus driver with an Elan version that gives me better control - though it means that FlipLock can't disable it anymore.

If you reinstall smart gesture it fixes that, I had that issue for a while.

 

But after you do that, you can still access your Elan settings.

I'll try that. I think I had uninstalled it as it overrode my custom Elan settings (tap disabled, right corner set to left click, two finger right click, three finger middle click)

EDIT: Yep. I'm stuck with the limited Asus settings. I'm uninistalling it again as I can easily hit fn+f9 if it bothers me.

Oh, if you set one of the settings to "live" in realtek audio settings it makes them a lot louder.

The problem is that the jack outputs 50% noise. Any attempts at fixing it just amps up the noise.

It comes with the digital version of Nintendo Land? The digital version has been removed from the eShop years ago.

I left my Wii U unplugged while I went home for New Years. Came back Saturday and it works fine now. I'm keeping my new adapter on hand though as it might stop working again.

I'm scratching my head on this.

When I got home from holidays I fired up my Wii U to download SMG, but it refused to connect to the internet.

Rebooting the Wii U and router multiple times did not help.

The Wii U can see all wifi networks and recognizes the encryption used, but attempting to connect to mine, my phone, and any other gets the error of "no WIfi networks found." despite being able to see all networks in the vicinity just two screens ago. I verified that I'm typing the correct password

Eventually I got it working, but only for twenty minutes after which it refused to connect again.

I reset my router to factory defaults and set up a completely different network, which made no difference.

I suspect my wifi card is gone. I'm away for a little longer but I left my Wii U unplugged and ordered a USB ethernet adapter.

Is there anything else I can do? I don't want to call Nintendo as I have a massive library on my hard drive and upgraded the Wii U's gamepad battery.

Didn't help. Still the "could not find wifi networks" error instead of any other error.

The reset button doesn't even work consistently on the Wii. The three or so times my Wii U locked up not even the power button did snything.

It makes sense on older consoles where the power and reset buttons physically cut power, but not on newer ones that rely on ACPI or something.

But honestly we really need a proper Zelda and Mario 3D game, and probably a Splatoon sequel. At launch. Not having a decent lineup at the launch of the Wii U had a pretty bad impact on it. It would also be great if Nintendo could work with some of the more famous indys to port their games over, like Undertale.

And Metroid.

Yeah I know, I keep on making these. But I keep on coming up with different ideas for it (and can't find the old threads).

I am convinced that Nintendo needs to focus on a lower-cost console that's more approachable to most people, kind of how many people bout a Wii alongside the PS3 or Xbox 360, making the Wii the most popular console. While having the most powerful console will always be demanded, I don't think that's an arms race that Nintendo is willing or able to compete in.

To me it seems that Nintendo wants to focus on making scaleable games, where you can pop the cartridge into the NX console and play it at full quality, or pop the game into a handheld and still get a decent experience. Developers would need to make sure their games work with this, so using x86 and catering to port developers would simply not work. The Cafe system is still a pretty efficient system, that we'll have to see how much it can flex.

I don't think the NX console will be more than 3x powerful then the Wii U, as Nintendo will mostly focus on improving anything that developers find limiting at that budget level. I'm guessing a price point of $250 or less, with the only controller being a Pro Controller (or an updated version). That would allow it to play the entire virtual console library (except DS) and can even play Gamecube games if analog (or trackwheel) triggers are used. Many Wii U games support off-screen mode, and so should be patchable to remove gamepad requirement. You can still buy a Gamepad or Wii remotes to play the rest of the games though, but they are not included - or at least not included in the base model.

There should be little to no similarity to the Wii an Wii U, either in style or branding. It caused too much confusion for the Wii U. The sole exception would be if the flexible NX architecture allows the Wii U to be upgraded to support NX games. But that's a level of complexity that I don't have enough information on.

After that, support for an HDD should be built in (either as an internal drive bay or an external attachment like the Xbox 360.

That's not a very viable take.

 

The 3DS is a MOBILE system. POWER is not what it's supposed t excel at. That's where the Vita whiffed - they focused on screen and power - while system support and battery life sucked.

 

a HOME CONSOLE must be based on power.

 

In case you missed it, the PS4 and Xbox One both easily outsold the Wii U - and gained much more third party enthusiasm BECAUSE THEY WERE MUCH MORE POWERFUL. 

 

And they did so at a reasonable price. 

 

I didn't say the time for a cheapie mobile is past. I said the time for a cheapie console is.

 

Big difference between what I said, the reality of the PS4/X1 vs wii u in the home space, and what your example was.

 

There may be room for weak mobile units. But there is no tolerance for a home based system that is weak. 

 

It makes no sense to have it weak since it doesn't need to be concerned about the compromises a mobile system does.

 

Watch. The NX will pack some muscle. Because if it doesn't, it will be a catastrophic failure.

The 3Ds sold more because it was cheaper and had a large library.

No matter what Nintendo does, they will not do what is needed to cater to the whims of the AAA developers - who don't even meet Nintendo's quality control and family safety preferences. Big developers want insanely powerful systems at low costs to make up for the poor optimizations of their bloated and buggy engines, and demand the manufacturers bend over backwards to meet their demands. Nintendo would effectively destroy itself attempting to meet that criteria. that pretty much rules out major third party support.

While the Wii's controllers were a major selling point, I also believe that the low cost of the system and the approachable games were also just as important. It wasn't proper competition to the PS3 and 360, but it was a step up from those lousy Vtech consoles (and more tween friendly). It worked great as a secondary console to play the Nintendo library, and as a cheap console for families that wanted an introduction to the latest console generation.

All Nintendo needs to do is to make sure it's affordable and have a decent library available at launch (and just before Christmas and summer break).

The 3DS outsells the Vita. Your argument is invalid.

Why are you throwing x86 into there?

Because that's the industry's standard architecture.

You really think Nintendo is "Industry Standard"?

And I can post now!

Really love playing this through again in HD. It's definitely pretty, not as stark of a contrast as Wind Waker to Wind Waker HD, but still something great.

 

And now thanks to those stamps you can find I'll be obsessively hunting for every last chest, which I normally don't do ._.

I know! I have to get that chest in the goron temple that you need a hookshot for, but otherwise I finished all the levels up to the sky city. Now I'm going to go through the entire map and try to get EVERYTHING.

Game unlocks March 4. Costs 65 Canadian Pesos :/

What are these "Canadian Pesos" you speak of?

They're worth about 0.73 USD at the moment.

To be fair I should be grateful Nintendo hasn't done another correction for the chance in currency value.

Well, about to see if the awful cart escort mission has been improved any.

It seems like they rejiggered the wallets. The initial wallet can hold 500 rupees as opposed to the original 300, and the first upgrade holds 1,000 as opposed to 600. It's nice because I just reached the 500 limit before the water temple so I upgraded to the 1,000, and I'll have it nearly full after I beat the Water temple boss. Then I can go pay for the new bridge right away.

I want a little Link Wolf plush. A cute chibi one like my avatar and not the scary one on etsy.

Has anyone else encountered a bug where the fused shadows do not render/are invisible after defeating a boss?

A game with both of them would be interesting but seems like a considerably more difficult concept to pull off so I'm not so sure they'd go that route.

...How? Literally nothing changes. All Nintendo has to do is allow you to pick your gender when you pick your name. Sure they could have a proper character customization thing, but having any changes to the story would be completely optional depending on how it is written (for example: in Twilight princess Telma's flirting will work though a little scandalous, but the scene where Link and Mayor Bo share knowing glances while Ilia yells at them would work better if the mayor and Ilia's genders were reversed). But literally 95% of all Zelda games' stories work just as well as is if you pretend Link was female.

Maybe you can have a story where Link and Linkle are fraternal twins and the one you choose becomes the hero while the other takes on NPC roles throughout the story. (Imagine a conversation between Link and Linkle)

Has anyone predownloaded it from the eShop yet?
