Man… just checked my Wii U this morning haven’t had it on in a long time, it still works just fine. Sucks this is happening.
-
This is legitimately terrifying
-
Also Nintendo: dOnT pIrAtE oUr GaMeS

I hope Nintendo makes ports so these games can be preserved
-
i have my wii u unplugged…. it’s doomsday for my childhood already!!!!
-
Older consoles don’t really rely on system memory. If you didn’t have a memory card in the slot, you could still play it but you couldn’t save your game (e.g. n64, gamecube, ps1, ps2, etc ( pretty much everything up to the DS))
-
This has actually been known to happen to Wii Us for a very long time, but I think after around 5 years or so of no use, THEN it becomes bricked. Still, it is important to check up on your Wii U every once in a while. Actually gives you an excuse to play your Wii and Wii U games more often lol

Thank goodness I am currently re-playing Subspace Emissary on Smash Brawl using the Wii software on the Wii U.
-
4:18 While watching this, I am also seeing the red light of the Wii u. I always, since I bought it, had it pluged in.
-
Anyone else see this from GameXplain first yesterday?
-
I play my Wii U everyday bro.
-
I always have my Wii u plugged in. I play it a lot so it needs to be ready. The only time it's not plugged is if I'm traveling and taking it with me. Good to know.
-
The cause of this was actually addressed in an update years ago, when the Wii U was still getting updates. It was a problem in the firmware. HOWEVER, since it wasn't a popular console a lot of them were left gathering dust and not updated. If you have your Wii U up to date this won't be an issue.
-
Getting a Wii U soon. WOO HOOO!!! I just hope it doesn’t get corrupted before I get it. It’s a black 002 model.
-
Turning on a 30 year old SNES from a dusty box, it will likely work just fine. The concept of planned obsolescence in modern products is indeed frustrating.
-
The system memory used in the wii u is similar to a ssd that would be used in a pc. It is the same case for an ssd were it needs power every once in a while for it to not experience bit rot or were the bits flip. Other consoles aren't experiencing this because they used hdd or hard drives which last longer sitting not powered on though they still can get bit rot or bits being flipped. They probably used these chips to help the wii u boot faster since boot times would be even slower with a hard drive.
-
My Wii U runs 24/7 and it still works so I'm not worried.
-
ive had my wii u plugged in for the past 8 years i think im good
-
I actively play the Wii U quite a lot, i’d even say I play it more than the switch (which I also actively play a lot)
-
Thanks Nin10doland for mentioning this situation. Right when I saw the thumbnail on this video I was like "Wait what is this, why is there a broken Wii U?!". And after watching this I'm now like "OMG this is terrifying for us Wii U fans". I have my Wii U plugged in all the time so hopefully it doesn't get corrupted. I'm with you, the Wii U (tied with the Nintendo 3DS) is my second importent console ever. So again thanks for bringing this up, you are a life saver (or console saver if you will).
