What's the launch day title look like? Too lazy to look through the entire thread, curious if I should hold off a month or two

Too lazy to pick and choose the good stuff, but this is apparently what the lineup will look like:

ZombiU & NSMBU for me. Would have gotten Scribblenauts too, but I got that on Steam.

Was it being delivered by HDNL as well? My last activity was 2am until it suddenly was "on the van" and "delivered" within a minute of each other.

Yeah I've had that with stuff delivered by them before. Was all set to have a little cry over not receiving a delivery because it was still sitting in some depot down south and then it magically appeared on my doorstep.

Usually hate HDNL though. They failed to deliver my 360 joypad 3 times in a row. The reason on the tracking website? "Flat". Like it's some mythical type of fucking abode they'd never come across before.

It's being handled by Hermes, which I thought was a company but, if that's all the distance it's made in almost 12 hours, it must be just one guy called Hermes transporting it. On foot. |

Gotta wait for security to come in so I can pick it up. In the meantime, had to give Nintendo a call as a lot of my VC purchases are missing on the Wii. Probably lost them mucking about with modding it, but it's worth seeing if I can get them back. |

Did you get the premium pack Drakul? If so, don't expect Nintendo Land. The Amazon orders are missing it from the box. Pretty peeved. On the phone with them now.

Yeah it should be, it says so on the box. It's apparently just limited to Amazon so fuck knows what they did.
The system update is as slow as everybody says too... |

One of Amazon's big distribution centres is around here. I'll shimmy over the fence and steal you one.

The slow update can be done in the background if you decline the update or something weird. You decline but it still updates as you do other stuff. Cant remember the exact details. It's online, somewhere. Kotaku, probably. |

No point without the update though. I have no games until I get on the eShop.

My Mii is dancing on the screen like a pillock as I use the browser.
He's in the bottom corner of the gamepad too. |

Oh, the bottom left pillock is for bookmarks. The dancing Mii vanishes if you go TV Screen browsing.

HTML5 video sites are teriffic. You can send the video to the tv and carry on browsing on the pad.

Finally, some good news:
Was in GAME this morning before work, bought Smash Bros Brawl (Because it's Smash Bros AND because it enables Wii mode homebrew) and after talking some about how I had the Wii U and nothing to play on it yet because of the Nintendo Land farce, the manager let me have Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for £25. It's £25 when bought with a console usually or £45 normally, so happy with that. |

There does seem to be an odd rattle to the gamepad, though. I thought it was the stylus so I took it out and it still rattled. I held down buttons and it still rattles. Not sure if it's supposed to.

Just found out what the rattling was. The speaker on the right side of the pad has just gone. If I rattle it, it comes back for a second but its gone again. Not sure if I contact Amazon or Nintendo about it. I'm thinking Amazon.

I'd say Amazon in the first instance, because it was probably damaged in transit. Was going to say I didn't remember mine rattling last night, but as I don't have it to hand in work...

I went to Amazon and the FAQ said to contact the manufacturer, so that's what I did.
The Wii U takes a while to set up. I can't seem to get it to connect to the internet, even though the Wii has no problem with it wirelessly. Also not sure how to stop "overscanning", I think it's called when the tv cuts off the end of the image. It's just the edge, but it still cuts off half of the button in the bottom right of the main menu screen. |

You can't stop overscanning if your TV doesn't support it. There's not an option in the Wii. Mine does it too.
Nintendo are still "investigating" getting my Wii VC purchases back. They're not quick. |

Everyone is just acting like overscanning is this normal thing. I've never heard anyone talk about it as a problem before the Wii U, unless you're connecting a PC through DVI to some weird cheap TV or something.

360 and PS3 can correct this via settings although it wasn't present in the 360 at launch (which isn't surprising, it doesn't seem to be an issue via component and HDMI wasn't available at launch). |

It's an issue for me with the Wii U and the 360. Wii U is much worse, though. It's down to me using an old school tv. If I hadn't gotten a Wii U, I could have caught up with everyone else and gotten an HDTV. Wishing I had.
Feeling let down by the Wii U right now, to be honest. It wont detect a wi-fi connection, even though there is one, the overscan is bad enough that, playing Balloon Fight Breeze, I can actually fly right off the screen, my pad speaker broke and Nintendoland is actually pretty crappy in general. Using the stylus for the Yoshi game, it feels weird, as if I'm scratching the screen too hard, when I'm really not putting much force on the screen at all. Holding the pad like an iPad and using it as a steering wheel feels awkward. I'm also finding it a bit hard to go between the TV and the gamepad. I instinctively want to look at the pad the entire time because that's where the controls are and my brain tells me "Screen and controls in your hand = handheld = look at that screen the entire time." Massive Nintendo fan and even I feel blah about the console right now. I wasn't expecting to be in tears of joy or anything but I did expect to enjoy myself. |

I enjoyed myself just on the web browser.
Cannot wait for tonight now. Play some Tekken, think I should go warm up in bed so I should stop playing... BUT I DON'T HAVE TO! BAM, it's in my hands while I lie down too. Bored of playing games now though... KERPOW, TV remote and YouTube where I navigate the sky guide or choose between watching YouTube videos on the pad or TV. All while NSMBU downloads in the background. Then it all begins again. |

Could never see me being a massive fan of Nintendo Land to be honest. Might get rid while it has some trade-in value and get one of the sexy headsets I saw in GAME this morning.
