      Re: Wii U Discussion

      I've come to the conclusion that I've neglected my WiiU too much.
      Didn't get Mario Cart etc...
      Been so back and forth with not knowing if I want an X1 or not that I've limited my spending and pretty much stopped WiiU game buys.

      Not having a new system close to release day is a first for me and that's what's been bothering me the most.
      I swore I would go that many systems again yet not having the X1 was really wearing on me.. lol

      Other than Halo I have no real desire to play anything so I think once I sell my PS3 this week I'm sticking with WiiU and PS4.. and will show some love to the WiiU finally.

      Those 2 plus PC are more than enough for me... IF I can stay in this mind set.

        Took me 30. Ridiculous that there is no ethernet port on this console.

          You have to buy an adapter for it. How insane is that?

            It's kind of silly that it's just not there. Pretty standard thing to have on s console.

                WiFi on my WiiU was brutal even though everywhere else in the house was fine. I bought the adapter and it has been smooth sailing since.

                  Yeah obviously there is a crap wireless card in the thing. Where do I get the adapter?? because my wii u will be in the basement soon even further away from my router.

                    The one I got was called the Wii LAN adapter from the Nintendo Store. They don't stock it anymore. There are some off-brand ones that you can get find, but I remember reading that the Nintendo one worked the best. Ebay is probably your best bet.

                      Just get the Wii LAN adapter.

                      You can order them from Nintendo's site, I don't know if Gamestops have them in or if they deal mostly in third party.

                      The third party is way cheaper (like $10 opposed to $50/60) but I've heard those are a complete "YMMV" situation.

                        Thanks. Going to check GameStop. Then order online if they don't have any options.

                          12 bucks for the lan adapter used. Gotta pick it up tomorrow it's coming from another store.

                          Did have a plastic zapper shell for 7 bucks. Which makes me happy. Wanted it for duck hunt.

                            That's a great deal for the adapter if it's the officially licensed one. Nice.

                              I'll find out tomorrow. I hope it is but I'll take s chance for that price. Is it just plug and play? Or do I have to tell my wii u to stop using the wireless connection?
