Im 18, always been a Nintendo gamer since the first consoles i played were N64 and SNES. I skipped the gamecube and got the PS2 (which IMO nintendo have never made a console as good as). I never bought a PS3 or £60 and continued to play my PS2 with its massive catalogue of games until i got Wii and played that along with my PS2. My brother got a 360 and i played that too but now the Wii U is out im hoping it will be my main console and i wont need to play the 360 for many games apart from exclusives.
Luckily there are only like 4 exclusives on Xbox lol

My only complaint is lack of analog triggers. This should be a standard thing. it is crucial for some things like racing games. It's like dual analog sicks in fps games.

Digital triggers are either on or off. In other words they only have two settings and no increments in between. Analogue triggers have various degrees of response which is far better for controlling the level of braking and acceleration in racing games.
Exactly. Think of analog triggers as real gas and brake pedals that you can control the amount of force on them. Digital triggers are like a gas or break pedal that is either all the way of or putting it to the floor. I Suppose racing games could use the right analog stick as throttle and break like gran turismo but for me that never felt natural at all.

Yeah I haven't got to open my Wii U yet, but I was planning to use a LAN adapter to bypass all that wireless lag. But then I found on neogaf that the lan adapter is even SLOWER than the wireless in speed tests! But it IS worth noting that doing a speed test on a WIFI connected laptop vs WIFI connected Wii U showed the Wii U wireless adapter is also much slower than a PC or Mac connected to wireless. So I honestly think alot of this is that the network interfaces on the console are just kind of slow.

Correct. A headphone jack will always be two channel. Some devices will simulate surround sound over a head phone Jack but the wii u does not. Dolby pro logic is what the old wii used to simulate surround sound. This is why I am plugging my headset in to my surround sound. Because it will take the audio from the wii and with the correct option selected it will turn it into simulated surround sound and send it to the headset that's plugged in

You are on the right track it seems but the Mic situation is something I am still trying to ffigure out. Also seven plugging the headset into a proper receiver will not guarantee simulated surround. You will have to choose a receiver that can take the incoming surround sound and convert out to some form of simulated surround sound and feed that the the headset. Which I think my onkyo can do.I think out can covert the sound using neo 6 to simulated surround and then pad out to the headset but I may be wrong and will have to look into the manual more.
As for the Mic I have no clue. My headset can use either usb or out has its own mic cable.but I don't think the console supports usb chat. And I dont know if plugging the mic into the gamepad will force the console to output sound only to the gamepad or what.

Honestly there is no way to get true surround from a head at on the wii u. The built in Jack in the game pad will only offer two channel audio. One plan I have to use my existing turtle beach headset is to use the head phone Jack on my surround sound receiver where my wii u is hooked up with hdmi. Then I can set my receiver to neo 6 or another mode to simulate surround sound on my headset. Just still researching to see which mode will give the best results. Most headsets only have single speakers anyway so even on say ps3 or 360 are still getting simulated surround sound.

I don't think that's going to work. From my understanding and from my experience using three different surround sound amps when you connect headphones to the headphone jack on an amp it automatically goes into stereo sound mode disabling all digital sound processing including all the various surround modes. I would imagine this the case with all amps.
Should work fine if you plug a turtle beach DSS into the game pad and the plug in a headset. That's what it is designed to do right?

Yeah guess I was sounding confusing and over complicating the setup. But as the feed from gamepad is stereo only it should work with the DSS attached

Arc is spotty at best on my onkyo receiver. The only way I could get a dependable surround experience was to run the console HDMI right to the receiver

Moral of the story is yes buy and HDTV but spend a little more money on a quality one. Samsung currently makes some of the nicest sets. After tweaking settings to my liking my Samsung 46 inch 3d LCD is going on 3 years old and still books stunning in 1080p

I am almost 30 years old. I have been waiting on load screens all my life lol. My first 386 computer took forever to load its primitive graphics. But in this day and age of highly efficient processors and solid state storage, it's not acceptable. I am not going to go on youtube crying about it. HOWEVER, if Nintendo is able to update the software so that loading is down to a minimum, this means the software was never properly optimized to begin with. So are you telling me I should just accept the fact that Nintendo released a console with unfinished un-optimized software and sold it to me for $350 + tax? I think we have a right to be upset. But some people do take it too far. I would like to bring back up the day 1 update. That update was a direct result of shipping unfinished software. And almost everyone complained about that, yet this lack of optimization should just be kept quiet?

Glad to hear your results Boo Can;t wait till it gets here. It will be all set up waiting on the Wii u that the wife refuses to give me till Christmas lol. This is one 28 year old who will be doing some serious Wii u gaming in his Super Mario World PJs! Sadly I have to go to a Christmas dinner that day so I will let it update then haha.

Pretty solid reviews all around. Your always going to have people with D.O.A units and negative comments due to just be human in nature. Thanks for the link OP.
^^^ This
I always go off the overall review and have always had good luck doing so. My current system had some negative reviews but I knew with it being a Sony they would stand behind it and it has worked flawlessly for over 5 years My Dad also has an Onkyo system and has bene using it for about 12 years lol. Zero issues with it. The overall review is good and the freeshipping and tax free means it was 249 out the door The sub isn't as powerful as my current one but I am sure it will do lol.

Yeah we are all mad because there is no optical out for our old 5.1 surround systems. BUT I have ordered this and I think it's a great deal for any of you with a little extra money to spend to get a system with 4 HDMI inputs and be able to keep enjoying surround sound http://www.amazon.co...ils_o00_s00_i00 I was going to just buy a new receiver but almost every single one was the wrong ohm rating to work with my speakers and my subwoofer is passive so no upgrading

It needs to have hdmi input and also support lpcm surround sound. I pretty much any re end system with multiple hdmi inputs will provide what you need. I highly suggest going with the one I have linked to. I spent most the day researching and it is the best bang for the buck I could find myself at 249 shipped. I found multiple different systems but almost anything cheaper does not have hdmi inputs.

Like I responded to you in one of the other threads I don't think that's going to work.
According to Dolby's website since the turtle beach DSS supports pro logic llx and Dolby headphone if toy Holm the box up to the game pad and plug the head phones into that box it will use r the DSP to convert it to simulated 5.1 and pass it off to the Dolby headphone DSP which will play the simulated surround to the headphones.it may not be the best but its hard to say that it won't work when that is exactly what the technology is designed to do

Hello 9646gt,
Ahhh I see. Sometimes it takes that alternate explanation to finally get it haha. Thank you for your multiple explanations and patience!
So it seems like no matter what, I will need to purchase a receiver. Just which receiver is the question.
Take care!
Sincerely, NintendoFan
You are more than welcome! I am so OCD it isn't even funny lol. I would look at the Onkyo ht-s3500 receiver. I just bought it tax free and with free shipping on amazon. I got it for $249 shipped and it sounds amazing. It's actually a pretty advanced receiver so it was tricky to set up to my OCD liking lol. But 249 for a receiver and all speakers is not bad. Yeah the sub woofer is passive but it will be fine for the new few years for me. It also has 4 hdmi inputs and supports the wii perfectly! It is only like 660 watts and sounds night and day better than my sony 1000w it replaced
They will work but only in stereo if plugged in the wii u gamepad. To get surround sound simulation from them you would need to plug them into a receiver that will convert to Dolby Pro logic or similar. Turtle beach sells a box that I am pretty sure will turn the stereo into Dolby Pro Logic II as that is what mine came with.I wonder if my Turtle Beach X12's would work?
http://www.turtlebeach.com/product-detail/dolby-processor-accessories/ear-force-dss2/33 You SHOULD be able to plug this into the gamepad and get dolby surround headphone processing for pretty damn good simulated surround with any turtle beach headphones

There are a couple of good threads going on this. The only way to get surround is with simulated surround created by a receiver like a home theatre. This is mainly because the wii u only sports uncompressed audio and does not support and Dolby prologic or anything like that. So the receiver had to take the audio from the Wii u and then make its own simulated sound such as neo 6 and send that to the headphones.
