[WiiUWiiUWii Like a Cop Car]

I've had two instances..

1st.. Very first time I popped in my game, it didn't read the disc.. But my first re-attempt it was fine.

2nd.. I was playing ZombiU when the game crashed.. I was stuck in position looking at my BOB but the gamepad had my radar up.. It didn't do a blank screen and I could only pause, so I would actually put the game at fault but idk...

As long as I don't end up buying 5 WiiU's because of something like RRoD this machine's hardware is exponentially better..

My Wii U is fine! I've only had one glitch so far. Pretty good for a launch console without most stability updates. Also, the speed of the console (loads, etc.) doesn't bother me at all.

[Stormage09]

lets hope nintendo to adress all the software bugs and posible hardware issues as soon as posible!

[Lebon14]

I don't have any problems with the Wii U. At least right now. I only have one disc and it's Nintendo Land and it reads just fine. I didn't experience any crashes or glitches when I used my Wii U.

Iv'e had about six hard locks with my Wii U but they were fairly spread apart. Other than that my systems is great!

[binx]

All mine does is lock up.Doesn't matter what fix I tried. Plus it looks like it will be another first party only system like the Wii was for me. Mario and zombiu are fun, everything else is mediocre at best. Not really impressed with the system. Oh, well here's hoping.

Still going strong is no problems but had the nintendo land freeze out of no where. Weird that it didnt happen and then that one day it wouldnt let me finish a game. O well a game update couldprobably fix that.
Im sure most of these little problems will be fix soon with an update from Nintendo. There Probably waiting for the system to be release world wide first.

Currently on my second Wii U. My first was doa out of the box (stuck at wii u start screen prior to initial sync). The second i've had for 4 days. On the 4th day, either the controllers charge cable went bad or the controller will not chage from the top or the docking station. This should not be statistcally probable for Nintendo's QA and production to suck so bad.

I've seemed to have no problems with my console at all so far, my problems have been with the gamepad freezing.

The first gamepad I had was very unusable, I could select maybe an option or 2 and then it would freeze up, I would have to power it off and wait 30+ seconds for it to work again, just turning it off and right back on would not unfreeze it, it needed at least 30 seconds or more for it to work again. I sent that one to Nintendo about 2 weeks ago and I just received a new gamepad yesterday and did all the updates and have still had freezes, though it takes longer to freeze up and if this one freezes i can turn it off and right back on to unfreeze it, but it's all good because I can finally play games!

Though the only game I have played so far is Mario U, I attempted Zombii U but think I will be getting a Pro Controller before I play that.

Only had one freeze from launch (UK 30th). I'd just finished a WiiU Chat and started Zombi U. Got to the title screen and the sound froze along with the game. Had to unplug the power and it booted up fine and has ran fine since so I'm guessing it's software. It's early days so if it is software, Nintendo will iron them out eventually.

[Hank Hill]

I've not had a single problem with my Wii U. It updated everything fine, everything synced up without an issue, hasn't frozen in the history of forever.

So yeah, nothing's wrong with mine. :L

It's hardly a paper weight. The freezing is a known issue and happens to a lot of people. The only way at present to fix it is to power cycle the console. It's not likely something Nintendo can fix and probably requires an update to the OS. Besides I'm not sure why you're so upset at Nintendo. If you bought it you should have the receipt. If you don't have the receipt then in all fairness its your own fault. That said considering the console is definitely less then a year old Nintendo should fix it without the receipt. At the end of the day as I said its not something likely to be fixed by sending it back as its most likely an OS issue.

how isnt it a paper weight?the console is useless!i cant even get on to the main menu to try updatein or try anything else.other people are having problems with games freezein not problems were the wii u dosnt even boot to the main menu,and you say a power cycle fixes the freezin?not in my case.do microsoft ask for a recipt if your console gets ring of death,no they ask for the serial number to check that its under warranty like nintendo should do.maybe nintendo should of sat down and played the wii u for a couple days before they rushed it on to the shelfs aye

[tboss]

problems, none really, issues, yes, thats stuff like slow load times, which are probly caused by the need to get online,

First of all you never mentioned that it you unplugged the power and plugged it back in and it still didn't work. Therefore I was going under the assumption you hadn't tried that. Secondly if you actually read my post all the way through I did mention Nintendo shouldn't require the receipt as they should be able to use the serial number. Thirdly you should have kept the receipt incase there was a problem. If you lost it or threw it away them its partly your fault too.

[SoldMyWiiU]

My internet works fine on the wii u but when i try logg into miiverse it says i have no internet connection

[nannybuckles]

anyone experience issues trying to make a new user? i clicked the new user icon last night and it sat on the white screen until i unplugged it twenty minutes later.

[gazza255]

ahhh i win,i hope nintendo like there knackered wii u console when it gets back to them,there customer service is rubbish.

[Nollog]

My console were hasin' problems staying in an online game of trine 2, and watching 720p youtube.
It was my modem, a hard reboot and fresh connection in the wii u seems to have fixed it.

Might be worth trying if you have similar problems with connection drops.
