[the_randomizer]

i am in tears of joy

Now that should have been there from day one .

Why do I have the feeling that this update was to be released after the Nintendo direct video...

Ooooor they did that on purpose and there's a hidden surprise that we don't know about. I mean, if you think about it, why would they release the update BEFORE the Direct unless it's related to it? They wouldn't want everyone to rush to the update or a lot of problems will happen from it, that's another thing that might relate to why they did that.

I just hope that it isn't the second update that was supposed to come out in the summer.

¹ Wii software displayed on the Wii U GamePad cannot be controlled by the GamePad. This feature only allows Wii software to be displayed on the GamePad. A Wii Remote Plus or Wii Remote is required to play Wii software titles.

what's the fucking point than?!

what's the fucking point than?!

so you dont need to use the TV if playing Wii games as well as WiiU

 

[Bladexdsl]

but you still need a mote to play you'll still need to sit in front of the tv

anyway did they fix the annoying fucking freezing problem that just pops up at random in any disc game?

Well, the GamePad has its own infrared bar right on that black space around the camera, so, you may point to either to your TV or your GamePad.

Of course, it seems that the AR is incorrect on my monitor when using HDMI->DVI and selecting any setting. My monitor fills and I can't select otherwise over DVI. 1080p stretches to 1200p. Not a huge problem, but enough to make things look weird. I guess back to 720p over component I go! (my monitor doesn't support 1080p over component...Dell 2407WFP)

I was just shipped a wiiu. I don't know anything about the Vwii stuff yet. If I update will it screw up that stuff? Do I need to stay on old firmware like with 3ds?

Finally playing Super Mario Bross 1 on the game pad !

But what is better: This can be reversed engineered to use it in Homebrew perhaps?

Huge step in the right direction. Don't see why some people are bitching about having to use a wiimote. Wii games would have to be reprogrammed to use the touch screen and controls for games that require the wiimote. However games that use the classic controller could be possible to use the gamepad. I'm sure Nintendo will be working on something like that for the future.

Touchscreen would be awesome!! Resident Evil with touch.... <3

But not everyone likes 4:3, that's the thing, but it can be bypassed, so no complaints. They shouldn't allow vWii mode to have both modes if both modes don't work, they might as well grey out the 16:9 TV option in the settings.

Maybe it's just something they missed and will rectify it in a future update and will add 16.9. Remember it couldn't have been easy to get Wii mode streaming to the gamepad and now they have bypassed that they can work on other nifty things for wii mode and gamepad. What we got it more than we got for gc mode on wii.

Could you imagine Umbrella or Darkside Chronicles using the touchscreen. Who knows we were led to believe Wii mode wasn't possible on the gamepad maybe it possible to use the gamepad buttons and touchscreen for all Wii games.

Side note when is this Nintendo direct scheduled for?

 

[BvanBart]

<3 lovely! Who said Wii U is dead... this makes the Wii U another cool musthave. Now something to take the Gamepad a little further away from the Wii U.

 

[BvanBart]

Side note when is this Nintendo direct scheduled for?

16:00 Amsterdam time

 

[Arras]

I highly doubt touchscreen support but buttons for some games would be nice. At least for Classic Controller supporting things. I highly doubt more than that will happen though.

where the fuck is flipnote 3ds!!!
