I have both the Wii U and a 3 DS.  I cuurently have a balance on my wii u e-shop, but am looking to purchase something on the 3 DS e-shop.  any way I can link the two together, so that I can use my balance from the U on the 3 DS shop?  Thanks!!

I hooked up a 500 GB external HD to the U, and downloaded super mario bros u t it. no issues there. I had it connected to the USB port in the back, and while playing mario, it would go to a blank screen during the game and say "the external hard drive has been removed, please turn off the console"

so I connected to the USB I the front, even though it is an eye sore, and everything worked fine, but now I just got the error message again. anyone seen this? any suggestions??

I jusy got the 3DS for my son yesterday. He has SMB 2, and I understand there is some DLC for it, but I cannot for the life of me find it on the e-store. am I missing something? anyone have any suggestions? I am used to the PS3 - demos in one area, DLC in another, etc. I don't see any DLC so far. Thanks!!

I just registered my kids' Wii U and 3 DS at club Nintendo and had enough coins to download a free game from the Wii virtual console. First time I got to the enter code screen, then it told me To check my Internet connection under settings on the Wii u menu. I did and everything was fine. I have since tried multiple times, and I cannot even get that far. when I go to the Wii menu and click on the Wii store, it just keeps giving me the Internet connection problem message. is something wrong with the Wii store tonight? anyone else having this problem? my firs interaction with Nintendo after purchasing two of their systems and needless to say, I am slightly displeased. Thanks!

Hey guys. I'm new to all this Wii stuff.

I am in my mid 30s, grew up on Nintendo (NES, Super NES, N64). It took me a while but I eventually got a Gamecube and was not impressed. I then did the impossible, and switched to a PS2 (don't kill me!) I never got the Wii until last year (Zelda Skyward Sword!). Just never thought of it as that good looking, plus the price and all. Long story short, even though I now consider myself a "Playstation guy" (I do own the PS3, and absolutely LOVE it!), I do have two kids, and just saw this wii U and felt some nostalgia for it. We are buying my son a 3DS for Christmas, and now the Wii U (if it ever ships to my house!) I don't really know much about the Wii U, so I joined here to try and get as much info as possible.

I am a sucker for sequels! I don't care how many Marios, Zeldas, Metroids, Castlevanias, etc there are, if there is one, I will get it!

Looking forward to the new Wii U, especially hopeful of a Zelda title somewhere down the line!!
