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

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

i have a wii u 32gb version,got it for my son for christmas,opend it up christmas day and installed the big update everything went well and all played ok,went to turn it on yesterday and it just freezes when its about to load the main menu and makes a constant buzzing noise so i have to unplug the power,phoned nintendo and asked if it could be repaired free of charge and they said i need a recipt to get it repaired for free even though its obviously still under warranty,so now im left with a wii u paper weight and a unhappy son :-( supose ill have to pay whatever there going to charge me for it to be repaired witch in my eyes is well out of order,its there messup with this console so they should repair it free of charge :-)

my wii u wont even get to the home menu,soon as i turn it on it freezes just as its about to load the menu and makes the beeping noise so at the moment my wii u is useless and nintendo wont repair it because i dont have a recipt :-/

hi,dont supose you found a fix for this did you?ive played on my wii u twice and went to turn it on yesterday and it wont even boot to home screen it just freezes on boot up and every time i have to disconect the power lead to turn it off.ive phoned nintendo to see if they could repair it free of charge but i told them i didnt have a recipt and they said i will have to pay even tho the console is under warranty.thanks in advance
