Wii U

Nintendo’s Japanese Wii U update has been updated with a lengthy Q&A. Topics include hardware, backwards compatibility, Miiverse, the eShop, and more.

Head past the break for the full translation.


Nintendo Power has released a public preview of this month’s magazine. Titles featured include Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse (with first screenshots and details), New Super Mario Bros. U, Nintendo Land, and Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

The issue arrives on newsstands on November 13 and has already started to reach subscribers.


Just watch this. It’s weird.


Toys “R” Us’ Black Friday deals aren’t too impressive. There is one deal that stands out, however. If you purchase 1 Wii U game, you can buy one more for 40% off.

The full lineup of video game deals is posted below.



Wii U games are already out in the wild. Amazon has started to ship pre-ordered copies, so you could see something like Black Ops II showing up on your doorsteps soon.

The thing is, you’ll need to wait another week to play it!

The Wii lets you save downloaded content from the Shop Channel to an SD card. All 3DS-specific content from the eShop must be downloaded from an SD card as well. Wii U is mixing up the pattern slightly.

As it turns out, you won’t be able to save any Wii U eShop titles to an SD card. Your only options are saving to the console’s internal memory or the device plugged into the USB slot.

Now, it may be possible to indirectly save to an SD card through a USB card reader, but this isn’t clear yet.

Also worth mentioning: according to Nintendo’s Japanese Wii U site, downloaded software saved to the USB slot can’t be played on a different Wii U. The site says “software can only be used on 1 Wii U per 1 USB media.”

We’re hoping that with the new Wii U accounts, you’ll somehow be able to download eShop content onto a separate console. But since there’s so much uncertainty and vagueness surrounding accounts, we probably won’t know if something like this is in place until next week.
