Hi,

 

My Wii U has just downloaded and installed the latest update, and ever since it has refused to switch into Wii mode. It doesn't matter whether I choose TV or TV and Gamepad mode, I just get the message;

 

The Wii menu could not be opened.

 

Change the TV display to the Wii U console and select Try Again.

 

The Wii U screen will need to be displayed on the TV until the Wii Menu opens

 

Cancel / Try Again

 

I'm sorry, I may not be a Wii expert, but that message doesn't exactly give me any clues as to what I'm supposed to do to fix it

My setup is pretty standard, just an HDMI connection to a JVC flat screen TV. Does anyone know how I can get the Wii menu to work???

 

Thanks

 

Martin

Sounds like a technical error, and I've never heard anything like this. I'd recommend calling or emailing Nintendo tech support.

Is your tv hooked up with hdmi? If so, try unplugging and replugging, ensuring a good connection.

If that fails, try another hdmi cable (if available) and then try switching hdmi out for component cables.

Thanks for the ideas. In the end I got it to work with the same HDMI cable but in a different port in the same TV...
