#135736 Suggestion: Is this a Good Deal on Wii U Console.

Posted by One_Jay on 21 November 2012 - 05:55 PM in Wii U Hardware

Hi everyone,
I am really intrested in picking up the Wii U when it goes on sale on Nov 30th in the UK. I am just trying to find-out the best deals on the Console, plus a couple of Games.
Also, I have not played a Mario game since the NES way back and the Wii U will be my first Nintendo since then.

I noticed Shopto seems to be doing a decent deal compared to the major retailers. Wii U Black 32gb Zombi U Pack + Super Mario Bros U £362.86?

I noticed somepeople talking about NintendoLand not being included in the ZombiU pack. Shopto adds it into the bundle for: £424.85
I know i have came late to the Party, after seeing so many people on the forum mentioning that they have got the console for cheaper due to retailiers honouring prices before they where offical.

ZombieU appears to be a decent game, due to the ways the game uses the Gamepad and You cannot have a Nintendo Console without having Mario! :P

I noticed that some of the reviewers like IGN don't faviour ZombieU very highly. But i am thinking they don't see the real attraction for the game. Mario on the other hand appears to be getting decent scores.
I am also guessing that playing COD could be real intresting on the Wii U system over some of the other consoles.

Thanks for advice.



#135781 Suggestion: Is this a Good Deal on Wii U Console.

Thanks for the adivce UnchainedGoku - Wow really, appears to be a major price hike between some retailers. Will Order it later today ;)

I also hope to god Nintendo can fix some of the issues which the US appear to be dealing with before it comes out here! Always nice to have the US beta test things, before it arrives across the pond. Although it should not be like that!

Cool thanks for the advice Noonanbites, Glad to hear you are not having many issues.
Have you guy's picked up many accessiories? - Can see me having to invest in something to cover the GamePad :P http://www.amazon.co...53561342&sr=1-1 - Do Hori make decent products?

I may also pick up Call of Duty Black Ops 2 at somepoint.not at launch, I think Zombi U and Super Mario U will keep me entertained enough untill more games get announced.
I have never played a COD game before, so that will be an intresting experiance - I hear so many people talking about the COD games. They have to be decent.



#137211 Picked up accessories for your Wii U.

Posted by One_Jay on 23 November 2012 - 11:04 PM in Wii U Hardware

Hi guy's

I am currently in the UK, so still waiting on my Wii U to arrive, but i was just wondering if you have picked up any accessories for the Wii U.
I ordered the Zombie U Pack which inculdes the Pro Controller, Is there anything you can reccomend like a Wii Remote/Nuchuck? Plus or not?

I was looking into getting a Shell to cover the gamepad to protect it more. Also was wondering is a screen protector reallty worth it ?
Do you really need a headset/mic, if the Gamepad has a built in Microphone ?
I also noticed Nintendo seem to be lacking in their advice for external harddrives. Obviously they are intending of launching their own ones at some stage hence the delay. maybe

If you have any recomnedations on accessories, drop a comment.

Thanks

Hopefully everything is working as it should with your Wii U's no freezing and no noisy disc drive :)
I am still waiting on TNT to deliver mine- I guess it will be tomorrow for me, although with that said i cannot get the tracking number to work.

Finally my TNT tracking code is working, although sadly the Status is Shipment in Transit.



#140344 shopto.net no longer show my package UK

Posted by One_Jay on 29 November 2012 - 09:08 AM in Wii U Hardware

Mine was showing Shipment in transit earlier, but now it has changed to Status Pending.
I am guessing that means the driver has arrived at the local depot or the driver has stopped on the motorway for a rest! :P



#140499 Virgin Broadband Problems?

Posted by One_Jay on 29 November 2012 - 01:15 PM in Wii U Hardware

I am also on Virgin Broadband, But i really find it strange why it cannot connect.
I will check this out when i get my Wii U hopefully tomorrow.

I wonder if Virgin Media will have a workaround for customers.

Have you tried asking VM on their support forum regarding the issue?

#140865 registering wii u with nintendo not working !

Posted by One_Jay on 30 November 2012 - 05:32 AM in Wii U Hardware

I am guessing the Zombie U Pack does not come with Club Nintendo Points?
Edit: Just found it after looking in the Game box, rather than all the manuals which came with the system. :P



#140911 Virgin Broadband Problems?

Posted by One_Jay on 30 November 2012 - 07:12 AM in Wii U Hardware

Currently downloading the Update. hopefully everything holds up with that :P

#140930 Wii U issues (the non-freeze kind)

Posted by One_Jay on 30 November 2012 - 08:56 AM in Wii U Hardware

dark_rabbid
Might be something todo with the signal type which is required for functioning the TV mode on the gamepad. But i personally have no idea.
I presume you setup the gamepad to control your TV.
I have so far not experianced that, contact Nintendo Support.



#140931 nintendo network premium connection issues

Posted by One_Jay on 30 November 2012 - 09:02 AM in Wii U Hardware

I am guessing you have to create a Network ID on the console then start the eshop on your Wii U Console and then your account will be linked.
But i personally have no idea, just looking at the leaflet now :P
EDIT - I created my ID online whilst the system was updating...



#141970 Hardware Freeze

Posted by One_Jay on 02 December 2012 - 06:02 AM in Wii U Hardware Help

As of right now i have not experianced any freezing, but i have not been playing a game and then decided to go into Miiverse whilst playing.Hopefully it is a issue with the Miiverse and not a Hardware issue. ;P
I fully expect the next update Nintendo make will be quite a major one (Maybe a bigger one than the 1.2GB day one patch) to try and solve most of the issues everyone has experianced over the past wee while.
Hopefully this will solve your issue.



#141973 Problem with updating

Posted by One_Jay on 02 December 2012 - 06:12 AM in Wii U Hardware

Hopefully you guy's with the Problem can find a work around.
The update went smoothly for myself on launch day, which is something i was not expecting after hearing some of the storys about it being 5GB and that it takes upto 3+ hours. Took Less than a hour for myself.



#141975 Wii u update still needed on uk machines?

Posted by One_Jay on 02 December 2012 - 06:16 AM in Wii U Hardware
