Has anyone noticed either stick on their tablet being slightly off-center? I'm trying to play ZombiU but unless I flick the right stick to the left first I start rotating very slowly to the right when I let go of it. I swear I can rotate right faster than I can rotate left, too, but that might just be placebo. Should I return it?

I bought that Nano Assault game on the Wii U eShop or whatever the gently caress it's called, partly because I'd seen people posting about it here and mostly because I wanted to see how the shop worked. Nice that they let you use points or just pay the exact amount, no overage bullshit like with XBox Live. I've decided that Nano Assault reminds me of Street Fighter 2010 from my glory days as a kid in more ways than one: - The whole 'exit the level on time after beating the baddies or you lose anyway' thing - Being really fuckin weird  - Being HARD AS HELL seriously the perspective shifts give me a headache Fun game though. Being fully playable on the tablet is a definite plus. Speaking of the tablet, is anyone else finding the battery life on that thing to be very short? I get two, maybe three hours before the battery light goes red, and maybe another half hour before I start getting the pad randomly restarting or whatever.

I can't wait to see some creative devs use the program in more meta ways like an adventure game that encourages people to share photos and map annotations. Said it before, say it again, I so wish I had any artistic talent. I love going into the NSMBU miiverse and seeing all the art

Is Nintendoland worth picking up if I don't really have anyone to play it with ()? I want to get rid of some old games and am feeling lazy so I'm gonna truck the lot to Gamestop and see what I can get.

That's okay, it's why I asked. Not sure what else I can get for the system besides Mario U and Zombi U, I was thinking Assassin's Creed 3 if only for the multiplayer, but that's out on PC and that's my preferred platform.

Has anyone else found that trying to turn on the system with the gamepad power button doesn't always work, but turning on the system with its power button then turning on the game pad works and syncs fine? Really weird. Also my parents gave me Nintendoland for my birthday, yaaay

This is the weirdest gamepad glitch, that or I'm missing something obvious. The Wii U and gamepad seem to start up fine, I get to the main menu, but I can't do anything on the pad. The TV, home and power physical buttons respond, as well as all four shoulder buttons, but the touch screen, sticks, pad, and ABY+- buttons don't. Unless I press X to switch the Miiverse and the menu between the TV and pad (yes, X responds); then the sticks and pad and +- start responding again. Resetting the WiiU hasn't helped. No idea if ABY are doing anything in this mode, since they don't do anything anyway. The gently caress? (edit) Nevermind, I guess the screen protector came loose and messed about with the touch screen or something. Peeled the drat thing off and the problem went away.

MH3U is the first game that has me playing for longer than an hour at a time on the Wii U. As such I'm starting to get cheesed off at the lousy battery life on the gamepad (yes it's a tablet I know, but damnit my iPad goes like 10 hours or more even playing movies and games, so that's not an excuse). Are there any good third party batteries out yet?

AngryCaterpillar posted:There's this http://www.nyko.com/products/product-detail/?name=UBoost+(Black) Ended up finding one of these at Frys, so I picked it up. In case anyone was wondering about it, it feels kinda flimsy, like I'm gonna break it when I pull out the stand, but otherwise it seems to work as advertised and what the hell, it was 20 bucks. At least doubled my pad's life to about seven hours, though I didn't really measure it. (edit) Taear posted:I would hate it if any of the WiiU games did this. It amounts to saying "You have to have the game connected to the internet to work" which as far as I know no other game does yet.

Artix posted:Don't be, I did the same thing. Admittedly, it was more of a "Well I don't give a poo poo about Nintendoland and I'm going to have to buy an external hard drive either way, so I might as well take the $50 and use it to buy Sonic Racing instead." I was and am so shocked at how good Sonic Racing is. I was 99% sure it was going to be a mistake like buying any Sonic game after 2000 or so (Generations excepted of course). Bloody loving hard, though, or maybe I'm just bad, but some of those time/boost trials are evil.

Does anyone else have their Wii Us not turn on with their gamepad half the time? I have to go over and turn on the Wii U then the pad, then they sync up fine, but they won't power on together. Super weird.
