Nintendo Wii U

[Broken Hope]

Cheers for that, I've got it synced and can hear loads of bleeps but now there's nothing on the screen, just my luck to get a dodgy one.

I'll give Nintendo a call and see what they suggest.

Cheers,

Indy

That's a shame, I just synced mine and it displayed registered on the screen and appears to be working fine.

I wish you a good and happy life, friend.

It seems God has shown me that fattakin is at fault somehow by making him crash into a taxi. I don't know what to believe any more.

Had a quick go of Wii Fit U and the new stuff seems good - haven't got a Fit Meter yet. Weirdly, it seems the cheapest place to get them is the Nintendo online store.

[Super Craig]

It's the same price on Amazon.

[DC Lemon]

I hurt. That yoga pose where you lean back and stick your legs in the air is only any good for women anyway.

[Indy @ S.E.]

So I called Nintendo, have to take it to a collect+ place to be sent back for a replacement fit meter.

Surprisingly hassle free!

Deus Ex is only £17.99 at Play.com:

Dammit. I have no money

Yuss! New obstacle courses. That's competitive gaming sorted for a while

[utopastac]

Ahhh, I accidentally fell on Thursday and grabbed my Gamepad in the process of falling, now I've got a really irritating purple mark on the screen whenever it's showing something darkish. Not there at all on lighter backgrounds.

Can you buy another gamepad? Do any games require two?

No, no.

[Alex W.]

Is be surprised if Nintendo customer service didn't sell them though.

[JPickford]

Obviously they'll replace a broken one or let you pay for a replacement.

Got the kids WiiU that they're having for xmas out today and did the system update and downloaded Wind Waker ready to play. The whole process was fairly painless and took less than two hours. The hardware itself is really nice, very impressed. Have got them Pikmin 3 and will be getting Super Mario 3D World for them (and me!). Xmas Day is going to be very special this year I think.

If anyone wants a new balance board, HMV are doing a black one for £42.99, which is the cheapest I've seen a new one for.

They also do the white one preowned for £15, but they might be pretty gross.

is that pic from Nintendo Karaoke?

£19.99 for a white one at Shopto.

£19.99 for a white one at Shopto.

That one is unofficial (probably doesn't matter) and back ordered.

[JPickford]

Ah, thought it was a bit cheap.

Just got a Wii Fit meter in the post. Pretty decent value to get the full game + pedometer for £20. Even if huge chunks of the game are the same as the one I've already bought twice.

[SMD]

£20 for the equivalent of DLC with extra hardware support isn't that bad, I suppose. Is it a Fit Meter per user?

[JPickford]

Yeah you need one each as you're supposed to carry it around in real life.

[SMD]

Wait, you can't use your 3DS at all? I haven't read up on the Fit Meter.

[DC Lemon]

Wait, you can't use your 3DS at all?

Would have been a nice idea now you bring it up.

[SMD]

I'd use my 3DS to track my steps and stick it in Wii Fit. I have the original one so it fits in my pocket.

[Super Craig]

The Fit Meter tracks more than just steps apparently.

[SMD]

I guess I'll find out when I pick it up.

Yeah, it's decent value, particularly given the meter has more functionality than a pedometer. The community features and more tailored routines/workouts are pretty significant improvements, and the new activities are great. Dancing and rock climbing are fun, assuming you have two RemotePlus controllers, and the luge is excellent.

I'm still downloading the trial but how are the measurements and routine building? Can you ask it to make you a 'strength' list that lasts for a longe period of time, for example?

[JPickford]

It does stuff like altitude so it knows when you climb hills etc. It also tracks time so it can mark out periods of activity. Much more than a pedometer. It seems like it's a development of the "Walk With Mii" thing on DS which was pretty good and got me walking quite a lot for while.
