Actually you can reset the pin number there should be a forgot pin option on the parental controls in the system setup option from the wii u main menu look for the wrench and click it then select parental controls then after that it should say on the game pad forgot pin forgot security question answer it will then ask you to dial a 1-800 number to get it reset give the number that appears on screen to the nintendo service rep to get it reset it will ask you how old you are and why you needed it reset just tell them you purchased the console used and needed to disable the parental controls in order to play games because the previous owner locked out all games it will then reset the console then do a system format but a warning here...

 

And listen...

 

IF YOUR CHILD IS UNDER THE AGE OF 12 HE OR SHE CANNOT ACCESS MIIVERSE SECTIONS CONTAINING MATURE CONTENT SO IF YOUR KID IS ABOUT TO PLAY CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS 2 OR ASSASSINS CREED 3 THE AGE ON THE NINTENDO ACCOUNT WHICH IS FREE MUST BE SET TO A DIFFERENT AGE I RECOMMEND MAKING HIM 16 OR OLDER BECAUSE THIS RESTRICTION IS UNFAIR TO GAMERS AND LIMITS SEVERAL GAMES FEATURES.

 

Also make sure you get a external hard drive i recommend a 2 tb external wd my book essential it works great with the wii u black ops alone take 4 gig's of storage away from the console just in updating and first game save file creation 

No this is where your wrong see gearbox has announced that there releasing the wii u version in december because by then they will have all of the bugs worked out of the game and its dlc packages as well.

the xbox 360 versions and ps3 versions are going to get all the bugs

so be far warned

Actually wrong do your homework several titles go into blank screen if you use component on 1080p

thats odd because the 32 gig one i have never would let me use my own sensor bar i had to use the new wii u one and as for the wii mode not working i can give you a fix although you wont like it.

 

Sorry to say send it to nintendo.

 

And check your internet connection if you have dsl it can and will &^%$ up your wii u badly i had to upgrade because the dsl wasn't fast enough and the console i started with a basic 8 gig ended up dead from a faulty firmware so its hit and miss 

Actually there is your problem the sensor bars are not interchangable you need the wii u sensor bar that came with the wii u sorry the wii sensor bar is differrent voltage and can cause freezing issues with the wii u please try with the wii u sensor bar first 

can i mention something here.

 

1. you need a hd tv the supports 480p as well as 720p without this you are in trouble.

 

remember not all tv's that come with hdmi ports are hd there where hundreds of tv's that said they where hdtv's and they where not 

yep sorry it sucks right now

 

Infamous hackers WiiKey have announced that they’ve managed to fully hack the Wii U, including drive authentication, disk encryption, and the file system. This kind of hack is extremely detrimental to both Nintendo and the game industry at large, since it is designed to allow pirates to bypass the protection Nintendo has in place in order to play unofficial copies of games found on pirate sites. No homebrew channel and no region unlocking will result from the hack, so if this statement is true, it’s likely Nintendo will be addressing it soon.

Taken from the WiiKey website:

Yes, its real – we have now completely reversed the WiiU drive authentication, disk encryption, file system, and everything else needed for this next generation K3y. Stay tuned for updates!

The WiiKey team were responsible for the first Wii hack released in 2007, so if this rumor turns out to be true, we could see even less third party support for the Wii U unless Nintendo takes action against the hackers quickly.

 

 

P.S Read No region unlocking because if they messed with the region my guess would be that it would be detectable 

Here is how to backup your save data:

Please keep these in mind when doing this.

1. if you are transfering the data from one wii u to another make sure your account name is the same and your nintendo id are the same as the save file or it wont copy.

2. only certain titles allow copying.

Here is what you need.

1. a usb thumb stick 4 gb works fine

2. a wii u

3. the wii u you want to transfer to

4. your nintendo id and a new user account with the same name as the old user account on the broken or damaged wii u and the same mii design yes if you don't have a 3ds or wii remote to save and backup your mii your going to need it.

Warning this process is experimental at the least.


1. here is what you do plug in the usb thumb stick with the wii u off turn on the wii u.

2. once booted backup your mii first by selecting the mii channel on the wii u transfer it to the wii remote or a 3ds

3. now go into system settings select data management then select the console.

4. now click the title of the game listed

5. now inside the title you will notice theres game data which we dont need there is save data and user data those are what we need to backup.

6. select them select copy thats it.

once finished shut down the old wii u console

now go to the new one and connect the usb thumb stick start up the wii u for the first time create a account with the same name as the one from the old wii u and then log into your current nintendo id and your done now play the game once really quick to create save data now exit the game go into data management and select the console then select the game then delete the save data file once finished press back and back again and select the usb thumb stick select the title select the save data and copy it back.

This has confirmed working on fifa but havent tried it on anything else yet myself try it and see if it works

Actually not good work finding this out there are major problems still.

this is why this is experimental

i found out you have to transfer the game data as well as the save file to transfer all of the data from one machine to another but when attempting to copy the save only i found out you cannot on all titles except fifa very weird

Games i have tried.

1. super mario bros u

2. batman arkham city

3. call of duty black ops 2

4. just dance 4

5. and nintendo land

i can confirm copying the game data and the save data and the user data does work the question of which i dont have another wii u to test it with is will it transfer and work if the same user account name and mii is on the other console

I had a week off from work i can confirm the pro controller lasts 80 hours 90 if you turn off the rumble feature

All i have to say!!!!

It's a me mario WOOOOOOOOOO YAAAAAAAAA

well i was wondering

awesome thank you guys for that information i got a great deal from my gamestore a pre owned copy of black ops 2 for the wii u and a pro controller for 50.00 so i couldn't pass it up

That sucks see this is why i don't repair just rebuy because you have a issue let me explain...

 

1. your save data cannot be transferred sorry its now console locked 

 

2. your eshop purchases gone as well sorry non transferable now 

 

3. i would call nintendo and tell them you sent me the wrong console back on top of that you destroyed my save data on top of that i cannot get my shop stuff back fix it or replace it with a new console with all my data back on it or face better business charges for illegal service practices that will get there attention and in the u.k there are consumer rights even that nintendo has to abid from because the goverment says so.

You can use a gamepad and wii remotes it does work here is what you do

press connect on the front of the wii u console it is the red button that syncs the gamepad and the wii remotes to the console also you need a wii remote with wii motion plus regular wii remotes wont work

thats it you need to make sure both wii remotes can operate in wii mode if they cannot then you didn't sync the remotes right

here is why keep the console connected to the internet and run nintendo land for about 2 hours then quit nintendo land by then the download should have downloaded and will ask you to install it this happened to me 

No and i wouldn't recommend a usb stick nintendo has already warned gamers that a usb flash drive of any sort will fail because it reads and writes to the drive hundreds of times every time you use the console and the max for most flash based drives is 1,000 hours before the drive fails or you get a read error message i recommend a 2tb external the my book essentials that works on usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 works perfectly and shuts off when the console shuts off

Actually i can explain this if you would have listen to his comment:

 

"its a router and cable box from the cable company"

 

See Cable companies use not the latest wireless tech but older tech because its cheaper see the wii u doesn't support wireless g which most routers from cable companies are they use wireless g and the other thing you must keep in mind it that wireless g routers the really nasty cheap ones only support 2 devices registered with the device so this is why your iPod your wii u dont connect to the internet while the 360 and ps3 do because they support wireless g.

 

I recommend updating your wireless router to net gear dlink linksys any of those will work 

Actually i am sorry to say the wii u gamepad stays on even if you are in wii mode now the reason everyone is guessing this for is because nintendo might release a update for the wii emulator to use the gamepad but nothing has been confirmed yet

Actually the only hard drives i have seen that dont go into sleep mode are the western digital my books and they shut off when the console powers off a nice drive but at 128.00 for a 2 tb there expensive

It's simple the 350 gig wd also known as a passport drive wont work unless you have a usb hub connected to the wii u the y splitter only works on certain drives this is why i recommend the wd mybook essential 2 tb its 128.00 it works with the wii u no issues powers off when the console powers off no sleep mode works flawless with the wii u

this is why i purchased a my book they only go to sleep when the console tells them to

i know this was a fake because it would have been at the wii u experiance if it was real

for the update issue go and play nintendo land for about 3 hours it will download the update in the background and when you exit nintendo land it will ask you do you want to update just click yes thats it

Actually yes I plan on getting it because it is quite nice looking for a wii u role playing game
