"Since the Wii U launch November 18 2013 there have been many complaints of the Wii U’s “Blinking Light” in a Forum..."

2013? You don't say...

Damn, not even a year old yet on top of that ninty has no solution or answer for people with the problem and just ship refurbs to compensate. I wonder how many people have had this problem.

AyoXV4243d ago

Honest typo sorry its 4am :)but yeah pretty sad

LackTrue4K4242d ago

aside from being only a year old, the lack of games/use is even more shocking!!!

I had the same problem, and Nintendo did not transfer my data as well. Could not even use my NNID for a while, since they had to unlink it from the old console before I could recover it. Then I had to redownload my games, but the worst part was losing the saves.

When I asked what the problem with the console was, they said the CPU had to get replaced! I first got this issue during the spring update, so it may lend some credence to all the "overclocking" rumors.

FamilyGuy4242d ago

Man lost save file are the worst. You can back up saves to a usb flash drive though right?

Blu5in2wO40e4241d ago

@FamilyGuy

I had everything backed up on an external HDD, but since it was formatted with the old console, it was incompatible with the system Nintendo sent me. So if I want to use that hard drive again, I have to reformat.

Mike7762374241d ago

The return date is MARCH 13, so it was only ~2 weeks

_QQ_4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

video or it didn't happen.

So the Actual forum is Only 2 people who must have had a defective console.

AyoXV4242d ago

there is a video in the article

awesomeabe19984242d ago

The problem is because of the position his Wii U is in. Its not supposed to be upright and it is crammed between the shelves.

IcicleTrepan4242d ago

That's funny, because mine came with a stand for it to be just as it is in the video. I guess Nintendo doesn't even know it shouldn't be vertical. Either that or you are full of it.

awesomeabe19984242d ago

Thats true, but on the video, there is someone who commented them saying that it is best to be put sideways. That is not the only reason why it did that. The system was crammed between the shelf which does not allow for much ventilation. Correct me if im wrong, but that is not so good for a console.

My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante4242d ago

Looks like the Wii U & PS4 both have Red lights of death problems.

KonsoruMasuta4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

Looks like you have trolling problems.

Why don't you ever use your one bubble for something other than trolling?

stuna14242d ago

He's trapped in an infinite loop! Trolololololololo........

rambi804242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

My Goodness! Is it 4:30 ? I'm supposed to be having a back,sack and crack.

Why Dark Souls 2 Deserves a Second Chance in 2025

As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

CrimsonWing6920d ago

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

PrimeVinister20d ago

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

MrWood20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

jznrpg20d ago

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others

Shadow Man20d ago

The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom23d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7723d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
