I have been a long time Nintendo gamer; all the way from the NES Deluxe Set to the new WiiU Deluxe set.

I'm also a member of the 3DS forums with the same user name.

I like to play and collect retro games and prefer physical copies of games. I'm not yet convinced with digital games until the price is noticably lower and access less restrictive.

I hate DLC and the new $60 per game cost. I respect Sony and Microsoft but I prefer Nintendo. I'm not a Nintendo fanboy I just prefer them. I play other platforms but do not own them.

If you would like to trade or sell retro games hit me up.

Attached is a pic of my console collection. I took this before I purchased my WiiU.

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?
