albatross

I actually think it needs to be a VR system. This is where the buzz is at the moment in gaming. There was a time when Nintendo was at the forefront of gaming tech - it needs to get back there.

Tried all that. I have phoned Nintendo and have sent it back to them now so I will report back on the service I receive.

They did say that the cost would be 55, 125 or 135 pounds depending on what is wrong with it. I am hoping it will be the lower price as I cannot believe it is anything more than a Bios re flash.

I have to say that the phone support is some of the best I have received from any company; usually, when you hold for an operator you are waiting for minutes but both times I have phoned Nintendo I got through to a very efficient and polite operator in about a second or two.

Fantastic from Nintendo.

Got the Wii U back today. Fast turnaround and they did it for free despite being out of Warranty and then they threw in another 12 month Warranty on it as well.

What a great company.

Thanks for the help.

I am in the UK.  Is that a UK number?

I will have a look at some refurbished ones as well as it might be worth it going that way.
