Mine froze 6 times in 20 minutes this morning alone. This the 3rd article I have read about the Wii U freezing. I also read posts in the Nintendoland community about the same problem. I don’t like spending hundreds of dollars for something that doesn’t work properly. I seriously hope Nintendo fixes it quickly.

My game pad has been pretty much unusable from the get go, it has frozen multiple times through the set up process, I barely got through that and it is continuing to do so after (I am using no screen protector by the way). I can’t even download the day 1 update because i have to turn the game pad off and on so many times to be able to pick the options for my wifi connection and then I get the error code dealing with the server connection so I don’t know what to do. I guess I’ll probably end up having to get Nintendo to repair it. Probably better than sitting around waiting for a software update that other people have said customer support said will be coming. I wish Nintendo would keep us more up to date on that because this seems like a pretty widespread issue.

Yeah it started freezing today for me. It’s already done it 3 times and I wouldn’t be surprised if it kept doing it. It starts working again if I unplug it and replug it back in.

Mine froze just now. About 8 hours into Mario the whole system froze and made this strange noise. I had to unplug it. Other issues were that the system auto shut down while in the middle of the massive download when I first booted up the console. I had to finally reach the main menu to turn off the auto feature and start the download all over again. These things shouldn’t be happening on the first day, especially since they delayed the release for so long.

Froze twice today… each time playing a different game in nintendo land. Only way around getting out of it was unplugging the Wii U.

Mine froze three times in one day. One of them was when I first turned it on! I had to unplug it each time too.
