I got hosed by them pretttttty badly this past weekend (a 23 hour trip turned into 49). Turns out those Nyko 3DS power packs and the Anko USB batteries work pretty drat well. In related news, my MH3U file has a few new hours. Does the direct start at 10 or 11 AM EST? Need me some Mario Kart.

I know it's inevitable that they're going to show it, but I really hope New Luigi U doesn't take up too much screen time. We know what it is and when it's out and seen the visuals a million times. More interested in the new stuff. Also is anyone else having trouble with Nintendo's E3 site on Chrome? None of the visuals load for me but it's fine in Safari. I've turned off every extension that should effect it. It's weird.

I registered my Wii U with my Club Nintendo account but the survey never showed up. Is it because I have a used console?

I posted a month or so ago, but was still looking for some input on the issue I've been having. To recap, when I've left my Wii U gamepad to charge on its cradle/when directly plugged in, the device will cease charging when fully charged. That is, if I were to leave it on the charger for the next few weeks untouched, the battery will be depleted because it stopped charging after the initial couple of hours. Furthermore, were I to use the gamepad and place it back on the charger immediately after this initial charging cycle, it will not charge the gamepad until I reset the AC adapter by removing it from the outlet for 2+ minutes. I have also had the experience of playing while the gamepad was plugged in, and when the orange light turned off, the battery on the gamepad began depleting as if it were no longer plugged in/being charged. Again, it seems as though the AC adapter is "tripped" after a few hours of being plugged in and charging the device, and then needs to be reset before further use. I ended up sending in my gamepad and adapter for repair, and while the order said that both accessories were "repaired" and functional, I am still having this issue. Thus, I'm wondering if there really even is an issue to begin with; perhaps what I'm experiencing is normal. I have tried charging the gamepad using two outlets, and both have the same issues. Other devices plugged into these outlets (lamps) function properly at these times. Does anyone else share this experience of needing to reset their AC adapter so frequently? If not, I was wondering if anyone has left their gamepad charging for a few weeks or more without use, and can comment on whether their gamepad is still fully charged when next used or if the battery has depleted by this time. Any input would be appreciated. Overall, it's kind of an inconvenient thing to have happen, but not critical. Still, I'd like to avoid sending all of my stuff in for a replacement if there isn't actually a problem.

I've been using my Wii U enough that I haven't run into your problem but I can totally see how it would happen. I saw one of these at Meijer (a regional grocery store) on sale yesterday and your post made me think of it-- http://www.amazon.com/APC-P4GC-Powe...c+timed+outlets Could you set it to say, turn off at 2am and turn on at 3am every day? That would cause the gamepad to "unplug" and "plug back in" every day. Silly workaround I know...

Watched the Nintendo Direct. Was kinda bummed. Hey, at least X looks cool, I guess. Hope it has a better battle system than Xenoblade's Not-An-Offline-MMO-Guys-We-Swear system. e: Also put off by cat Mario. Yech.

Nintendo did nothing to convince me that I need a get a Wii U right now/soon, but I was planning to get one before the end of the year anyway and they did make me feel better about that.

HellFox posted:I actually noticed that mine did the same thing. I bought one of those Nyko USB->gamepad chargers and tried it after taking my gamepad off of the charger. It lit orange for a second, then turned off. I thought that maybe the USB AC outlet adapter didn't give enough amperage at 1amp (the Nintendo one is 1.6amp) but then I plugged it into the official cradle and saw the same thing. It was then I realized that this was normal. Hah, a creative idea, but that would certainly do the trick! More than anything, though, I'm glad it's not just me, so thank you for sharing your similar experience. Maybe there isn't a lot of material on this issue because A) It isn't really a big deal, and B) It's a bit of an irregular gaming schedule to only play the Wii U once a month and run into this problem consistently. So long as it's "by design," I can live with it. And by the looks of things, I should also be playing it a lot more often in 2014, so maybe this problem won't arise as much at that time.

That video was poo poo. What was the point of them showing the empty room they were filming in, it made it look like they have no money haha It was basically all "wait a few months or longer for all this, nothing is coming out now". Mario Kart looks awesome.

Lizard Wizard posted:That's nothing like the rest of E3. Yeah I really don't think the problem is that most of their announcements are slated for 2014. That seems like par for the course. The problem is that they did not have a large enough library of games lined up and announced for 2013 already.
