Add Your Wii U User Name

[E-Day]

There are finally no Friends Codes with the Wii U. However, the problem is that if you send a request to someone to add you to their friends list, they do not get a notification.

So for those of you who have a Wii U, why not add yours here, and then people can let you know when they've sent you a request?

Mine is Ferkner.

I can't be the only one on this site with a Wii U...

I have one but like the 3DS it won't let me online unless I update. Something I don't really care for after dealing with so much PS3 nonsense. And because I only have 2 games it hasn't been on since I finished Skyward Sword and Nin Land. Oh wait, I might have played Kirby too. In any case if I can add friends the next time I use it I'll try to remember this post.

The latest update speeds up the time it takes to start and close apps. I think it also adds the Virtual Console (that might been an earlier update). It was only the initial update when the system launched that was a hassle.

[DPsx7]

Enh, when I boot a console I'm ready to play a game, not sit through an hour long DL. Sony started removing things, I couldn't care much less about new features since I only use the gaming part of a console (and not even the VC as I still have all my old carts and platforms), and there's always the outside chance of something bricking. I don't think I've ever updated the U, maybe the 3DS once, was offline on PS3 for about a year when they messed with the Linux models, my PSP is still on 1.50 and hasn't been used since games stopped working, and the Vita also maybe once.

I wish they would limit those useless things to once or twice a year. It would give them time to offer an actual change instead of nothing and call it a stability update.

just got a WiiU a couple weeks ago. love NintendoLand, Mario Bros U, and Mario 3d World.

i'm pretty sure my user name is "twiztor"

[E-Day]

I'll add you the next time I'm on the Wii U.

[DPsx7]

Heh, I just started playing Mario U and I still haven't bothered to update. Actually the game refused to start until I updated so instead I deleted my connection and the game let me start without it. My Vita is offline too because of damned updates. Why can't they just stop...

[E-Day]

Because they add features and fix other things.

[DPsx7]

That's what they both say, but I've yet to see anything good. PS3 has actually gotten a bit worse because of it. The 'new' PSN shop sucks and everyone knows about the lost features. These need to be made optional. I mean the 3DS never asks me to update when the wifi is off.

[twiztor]

well this latest update for the Wii-U gets you a quick start menu if nothing else.

I just got my Wii U the other day as a Birthday present. :-) I got the Black 32GB, Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land Bundle. Pretty sweet, those games are so much fun. Super Mario 3D World is like a combination of Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) and Super Mario World (SNES). Think I'll pick up The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD soon.

I don't mind going online. It was a bummer downloading the big update when I first hooked up my system. But I need my game demos and Virtual Console games! My Nintendo Network ID is ctophil555.

[E-Day]

That big update is still something that needs to be downloaded? I figured they would have included that update in consoles they manufactured after the launch date.

[ctophil]

Yeah, for some reason the Wii U I got had like Software Version 1 on there, and they are up to Version 5 now. So I had to update in order to do anything. I assume that Nintendo keeps the same protocols (such as software versions) when manufacturing new consoles since launch date. From what I understand, hardware manufacturers only change software versions when they do a revision of the console's hardware (like when introducing a new model #). I'm familiar with this due to repairing consoles for the past 15 years.

[RetroDefense]

Just sayin'

[E-Day]

That's back when they could do "updates" by adding extra chips in the cartridges on a per game basis

[RetroDefense]

And charge us extra per game.

On the Wii U, I am TheGreatMarcello with my Ben Mini as my Mii. Does that answer your question guv?

[Sean697]

Sean697 If if anyone cares. I haven't played much online lately but always up for some Splatoon.

[DPsx7]

Lol. I still haven't updated anything. I've since finished a couple more games including Kart 8, not going online once. What I occasionally wonder is when I get around to playing Smash or Splatoon how much content will I end up skipping because it wasn't on the original disc.

Of course someone will wonder why and it's because I don't like to pay for DLC. Oh it's free? Then I probably don't have the extra time. Fact is I have a stack of unplayed games for PS3, PS4, Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS, and Vita. DLC has been keeping my completion percentage a lot lower than it should be. When given the choice of paying for DLC to stick with a game for a few more days, or going to choose something new, I tend to go with option B.

Sorry for adding to an old topic, but my Wii U ID is Centauri. I'll add the ones above next time I get a chance to play on it. Kids keep it pretty occupied.

[urko948]

The wii u is fine. My username is urko948. Nobody I know has one so I have zero friends on there. I hate how it has virtually no storage space though

[AtarisBSBH98]

If anyone wants to add me, feel free. I play smash, mario kart, and splatoon online but not too often.

U can use an external 2.5" Harddisk to add storage space though. But then it at extra cost, which sucks.

BTW, my NNID is either sir.qrtz or qrtz_ . Forgot which one. Will confirm later.
