I like how people complain about Nintendo specifically when Steam has been absolute hell yesterday.
I don't (and won't) use steam, so had no clue as to its status, thats why (for me anyhoo).
I'm only (futilely) trying to use the eshop because they didn't pack the actual Zelda game in with the WiiU system. After this I'm only even more cemented in my view that I will never E-E-EEEEEVER be buying my games as digital downloads. I will stop gaming before that.
It seems like the op is a spoiled kid who can't wait a couple of days to be able to receive his gift.
Am I the only one who cares more about spending time with my family than playing video games on christmas? By the way, I didn't receive the Zelda albw game I pre-ordered in time for xmas and I'm not crying or whining about it..
I can't speak for him, but I've been waiting for this WiiU for weeks already (and even passed on going out and buying one for myself when someone hinted I should wait til after Christmas), to finally get it and not be able to use it, that's like a knife to the gut.
I already spend plenty of time with immediate family, and extended family is now all spread out in different parts of the country and no one comes home for Christmas anymore anyway. The ones that do come around come later in the week, so it's not like actually being able to play my game on Christmas would have impacted family time at all. But I hope your high horse is in good health.
I expect people to work on Christmas so I can access the eShop.
I expect the eShop to work on Christmas if you need to access the eShop to play the game that "came" with the system.
BTW, it's no longer Christmas, and I still don't have a way to play the game that came with the system. Oh man, I expect people to work on Dec 26th so I can access the eShop, I'm such a bastard.
