There's no way of telling if I'm receiving a call from a friend or someone just simply got online. Do you guys think Nintendo can a release a firmware update to adjust different Light notifications? Like for example, the light blinks twice for a call or blink once for a friend notification.

I just realized that the Wii U's home button light is pretty useless... There's no way of telling if I'm receiving a call from a friend or someone just simply got online. Do you guys think Nintendo can a release a firmware update to adjust different Light notifications? Like for example, the light blinks twice for a call or blink once for a friend notification.

Uhhh, actually, you can easily tell if you're getting a call. The light blinks constantly without stopping. Did you try Wii U chat yet? Because I've tried it several times and I've noticed the light blinking for a while.

They need some sort of on screen notifications for when you get a notification, a friend request and someone logs on.

They do have login notifications, but you have to press home to see them. I just saw gaymer sign in.

They have to include an option for a notification to pop up on screen, like for when someone logs in and more importantly telling you what someone sent you through the Miiverse without having to open Miiverse itself.

This is still a new system - remember - microsoft had xbox live since the original xbox and had time to update it. Nintendo will have several updates in the future

I know but it seems like something so simple and something that should have quite obviously been there from the start, just because Microsoft might not have had some stuff in 2005, doesn't mean that the Wii U in 2012 shouldn't have it. Besides from a few things about the Wii U I'm pleasantly surprised with what the console can do.This is still a new system - remember - microsoft had xbox live since the original xbox and had time to update it.

I look at it this way - if we had to wait for every new piece of technology to pack every feature the developers want ..with the way technology changes..it would be in development forever. They have to make some concessions ya know?

It does show up on your TV as well, when you press home. >_> What you should've said (and what I think you mean) is notifications while a game is running.On your TV screen.

I agree, Nintendo really need to sort out these little issues.
A section in settings allowing you to personally select which notifications you want the home button to be used for would be best.
I am not sure about having on-screen pop-ups, but i would still enjoy it as i know i would miss someone signing on - But it should be optional unlike that other system.
Hopefully Nintendo somehow stumble across this suggestion.

Another thing i've noticed is that while i'm in Miiverse, notifications about responses to my posts or posts i've commented on, show up just fine...but when i'm outside of Miiverse it doesn't inform you of anything at all, even when you return to Miiverse. You have to manually go through your User Feed to see if there have been any replies/yeah's.

They go on your TV screen too, when you press Home. I just noticed it last night when I had my TV on for no reason before turning it off and going back to playing exclusively on the upad.On your TV screen.
I know what you mean though, like steam.

Like I said, when your in a session of video games. Its pretty pointless of me to say something that already happens.They go on your TV screen too, when you press Home. I just noticed it last night when I had my TV on for no reason before turning it off and going back to playing exclusively on the upad.
