I have had a Wii U for roughly three weeks and I realize now that this system has no middle ground. Things are either really good or really bad. Here is a list of things that need to change. Note, I'm not talking about the lack of third party games. I'm keeping this list, console features focused. Feel free to add in your pet peeves as well.
1- The inability to auto switch internet connections >> I ran into this last night and it pissed me off. Why have the ability to store network settings if a damn piece of 200+ dollar hardware can't be smart enough to scan all of your network options and pick the appropriate connection without having to do it manually???
2- Preset over scan ssettings >> Not every TV acts the same way. I really hate that I can't accurately modify my over scan settings. I hate that when I have my component cables in, I can't change my aspect ratio.
3- The inability for the console to recognize your SD cables in a emergency >> This one makes me go WTF?! On the original Wii, if you screwed up your video settings with your component cables, connecting with your composite cables will automatically reset the video settings to 480i. That was a great fail safe and the Wii U has nothing like it. -Really?!
4-
Having to go to the Miiverse to send a message to a friend but not being able to send a message directly from the friends list >> Are you shitting me? Who came up with this ass backwards way of communication?!
5- The lack of proper Wii Remote support >> If I want to startup my console with my Wii Remote, I shouldn't have to worry about not being able to call up a URL bar in the browser due to the lack of a gamepad. I shouldn't be blocked off from the eShop even thou the damn shop shows the SAME thing on BOTH screens. I can understand forcing gamepad usage for the system settings menu BUT the Wii remote and Pro Controller should be properly supported in all other aspects of the console.
6- Netflix's lack of profiles support >> Its been nearly THREE years and you're telling me that Netflix STILL does not have profile support?! Even the Wii has profiles support.
OK, I'm done ranting. Join me people and let's rant together
