Dude… if this mo fo was really in use for his “industry” hardcore analytic ability… the focus sure a f would not be this shallow and irrelevant. Wow.

I remember when this foo Mat was stating “games he worked on”, rather than games that came out while was working in finances for said studio.

Industry leech.

"Only" I think you mean new sales record 1 new Wii U sold.

Seriously though good find getting a brand new console from a retailer no less. I brought my Wii U last year second hand and I'm not in love with the controller but the core system was excellent I have homebrewed and use it as a emulation station and a pro controller which actually runs fantastic.

Plus you can buy Wii U games for dirt cheap as the demand isn't there right now but like all retro systems it's inevitable demand will come back around especially given only 13 million systems are in the wild and the actual handheld gamepad is a requirement which is going to be a problem as you can't use the system without the pad and there's no third party replacement

I’d buy one if it was at a stupid price. New that is

You Could Brick The Nintendo Wii U Just For Not Using It, Reports Claim

The renowned Nintendo Wii U appears to suffer from a memory error that occurs if the console is not used for long periods of time.

SinisterMister416d ago

Whoops. Makes me concerned about my dusty old Wii U. Time to bring it out the attic.

Vanfernal415d ago

A lot of bricks out there...

roadkillers415d ago

No kidding, worst selling major console of all time. Had quality software tho

Sega Saturn - 9.26 million units sold
Sega Dreamcast - 9.13 million units sold

shinoff2183415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

Thats still 13 million or so people who spent their hard earned money on it.

In the dreamcast defense it kinda got shut down really early, and the saturn just got whooped by ps1

Profchaos415d ago

Just to clarify I'm actually a Wii U owner I love the system for it's homebrew capabilities it's basically become my retro emulation system of choice

Nintendo already discontinued support & repairs for it too, so even if you wanted to get it repaired, you can't. Well, not officially anyways.

ActualWhiteMan415d ago

Cheaper to buy another one on eBay for $150 then to pay for a repair.

closed_account414d ago (Edited 414d ago )

Yea, I don't know why the downvotes. I actually worked Nintendo customer service for 3 months through a telecommunications partner, & I can confirm that Nintendo WiiU support and repairs were discontinued. You'd have to go through a Mom & Pop shop or unofficial repair shop to get one fixed.

-Foxtrot415d ago

Yeah I think I’ll just not check on mine so I can think of it like Schrödinger's Wii U

It’s broke but also not broke in the box

CptDville414d ago

Mine was alive! Just pulled it out of the closet (after a few years sitting there) and turned it on. Now lest do a nand backup of it!

No surprise, but a sad day for gaming with hundreds of exclusive titles to be lost forever

Petebloodyonion798d ago

it's sad that no one is actually outraged by that piece of news ut it's even worse to Sony because Nintendo acknowledges that going forward they would only release classic content thru the Nintendo online membership.
Basically, they are killing the store to create value for Switch and the Nintendo membership.
