Reagrding the Virgin media problems, I have the "Superhub" thingymajig and couldn't connect to it automatically but using
this, as has been posted before, I had no problems (bar one brief stop during the initial update but what had already been downloaded stayed anyway).
Anyway, really loving this. NSMBU is a great Mario game in HD as expected, Nintendoland seems like good fun (will be trying mp at the weekend) Sonic Racing is pretty darn good (holding the gamepad up to get a rear view mirror is a cool, if pointless, gimmick) but Zombi U has 100% sold me on the idea of the gamepad. At one point I "pinged" my radar to check for zombies and there was a red dot right in fromt of me, I panicked, looked up at the TV and saw a rat scurry pass! It's not a perfect game but a survival horror game that can make something as simple as switching two weapons between different slots as tense as Zombi U does is good in my books.
My NNID is, rather predictably, MatMan562. Feel free to add me! Don't worry, i'm not a good drawer so wont be doing any pictures.
