I bought my system on launch day and started to have major problems with it yesterday. When the youtube app update was available I used it. Eveytime I would use the app it it would freeze my system and I would have to unplug my system then restart it. Next it starting to freeze when I tried to access Miiverse this would happen a few times. When the system started operating normally it would act up again when I would try playing multiplayer on Nintendo Land. Slow but surely other functions started freezing the system until I wasnt able to use it any more. I had the latest hardware update so I know this wasn't causing the problem.

I talked to a Nintendo Customer rep and was arranging to have the system sent in for repair. I wasn't going to wait a long time to send and receive a WiiU. I decided to return and exchange it from my place of purchase. I was fortunate enough to have the exchange go smoothly with no problems at all. Now I'm in the process of having my Nintendo Network Account transfered to my new console by a Nintendo Administrator.

If you are having the same problem I would strongly suggest calling Nintendo to report this. This will ensure they know about the issue and get it resolved. I don't like to assume anything it's better to know for sure. The more gamers that report this the more pressure they will have to fix this asap.

Is anyone else having a problems with their WiiU's freezing?

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!

I'm sorry but this is about the hundredth topic on Wii U freezing... yes everyone else encountered it. It's getting fixed I am guessing it is a miiverse problem. Mine froze THREE times so far...

I've had the issue once, and all I had to do was unplug then just boot it back up again. I guess I'm lucky to have a functioning system.

Easy there I'm new to this forum, thanks for the warm welcome.

There is no official statement from Nintendo addressing the problem and I haven't been contacted by them. I don't like guessing what the problem is. I hope this problem gets addressed soon so unaffected gamers don't have to go through this headache.

I have had no problems with freezing either maybee people with freezing issues are trying to do to much at once and its causing the ssystem to freeze I have no clue when the xbox 360 first came out and had freezing issues it was a hardware problem not a software it usually happens when the system gets to hot but the wii u runs so cool.

This is what caught my attention. Confirmation for remote account transfer?

POSSIBLE FIX

Ive been reading the tech forums, and most of the people seems to be pointing to a miiverse bug and games with integrated miiverse like NINTNDO LAND or NSMBU, a "fix" they found that seems to "work" for some of them is to go to miiverse, then settings, and set it to english only, i dont know why or how this can "fix" any freezing but some people are saying that works.

anyone has tried that out??

anyways they said that in december there will be a patch to fix this

Then don't tell people that we're trying to do too much with the Wii U when it freezes, you haven't a clue. You've supposedly had no issues with your Wii U freezing so you really have no room to offer advice that won't solve the problem. It's not a hardware issue so returning it or sending it off for "repair" will accomplish nothing. This is a software issue that Nintendo is aware of, and I'll continue to complain about it until it's resolved. And you can continue to be a blind fan boy who pretends it's a perfect console and gets upset by strangers in an online forum. Grow a pair dude.

try the thing i said before and tell us if works

This is what I thought. It's gotta be an online/Miiverse thing because on the Wii Menu itself I get no freezing and when I deleted the internet connection I got no freezing on games. No need for people to go crazy and send in their Wii U's or return/exchange them. If Nintendo knows what's up they're going to fix it. They kinda have to.

Mine froze like 3 times on me at random places, I haven't noticed at pattern yet

Yeah you might be new but when you sign up and you get the message to read the rules it's thier for a reason, you do notice we have a search bar, everyday I come on here and it's just a load of posts I read yesterday written by someone else, getting bored now.

Why yes...yes I do. Yoshi are you male or female? I mean this for the character Yoshi.

Excellent point but you did have a choice not to click and read this thread. Maybe administration can open one main thread for this problem to avoid multiple threads of the same subject.

Unless you're administation your statement is just meaningless rant. Please take it else where, thanks!

This was done in my initial set up so this is not the solution to the problem. Reggie said there will be an update in december but nothing was said specifically for this problem. To the best of my knowlege there is no official statement reguarding this issue. I do not like to assume anything and would like to hear an official statement reguarding this like they did with the Zelda Skyward Sword glitch.

I am a male, by the way you replied three times... you only have to click it once.
