Wii-U thoughts so far

Miiverse is pretty cool. It's integrated into games really well.

Miiverse is essentially Wii-Twitter + some Facebook style functions like private messages.

Sounds horrible.

My vote is with GSZX. If all you're doing is playing games, you're doing it right.

Yup, just games then... just games.

On a side note my kids get a kick out of playing Wii games on the little gamepad screen, until they start pushing each other to get a better view of the game (Wii Sports).
I think it's silly to play a "waggle game" on the gamepad, but they like it so...

It's really not. It's heavily, heavily moderated and it's probably the quickest way to have your questions about a game answered. Also nice for sharing screenshots and other things.

I'll take it over real Facebook and Twitter integration any day.

I love the way Wind Waker HD integrates it. You can write notes and put them in bottles that wash up in other players' games.

You can also send in-game pictobox images this way too.

Screen Shots? Stupid Question: How?

Screen Shots? Stupid Question: How?

So, when you go to post in Miiverse, there should be a little TV on the screen which you can tap to include a screenshot. For some reason not every title uses it though (most do). For all games though, you can go to the web browser in game and use Imgur or Minus and upload full resolution, high quality screenshots. It's pretty nifty that it supports those.

Many have stated when the online component was down that it sucked since the MiiVerse is a huge plus for the console. I don't think I'm getting the idea of MiiVerse and haven't used it yet. That is what I was getting at when stating "other than playing games".

I probably should have used an emoticon since I was just messing around. I completely understand wanting to get acquainted with the system' s other features.

My vote is with GSZX. If all you're doing is playing games, you're doing it right.

Though this is more my way of thinking.

I love drawing cute little pictures on Miiverse, and I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT!

Picked up wonderful 101 from target, since it seems to have had a price drop to 29.99. Used some gift cards from xmas, so it was nothing out of pocket.

Does anyone know how much memory Wii U disc's have? I've been searching the web but found nothing. If there disc's don't have as much memory as a blu ray i can see why third parties aren't making games for it.
