"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.

AyoXV4265d ago

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

LackTrue4K4264d 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.

FamilyGuy4264d ago

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

@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.

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

video or it didn't happen.

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

AyoXV4264d ago

there is a video in the article

awesomeabe19984264d 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.

IcicleTrepan4264d 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.

awesomeabe19984264d 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_Dante4264d ago

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

KonsoruMasuta4264d ago (Edited 4264d ago )

Looks like you have trolling problems.

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

stuna14264d ago

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

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
