My Wii U console refuses to switch itself off and it's got some other major bugs as well; I think I'll get an exchange as it's defective. I'm happy to hear everyone has their consoles working well though and I hope Nintendo fixes these issues soon
Thanks for the answers. Does anyone know a fix to the problem I'm having with my console then? I searched around and apparently it's not just happening to me and I would prefer not to exchange it.
