Wii U consoles bricking after not playing them

The Nintendo Switch, which is the console that will succeed the Wii U, has been on the market for many years. Unfortunately, there are still several Wii U games that cannot be played on the hybrid device, as well as some Virtual Console throwback titles that aren’t yet accessible on Nintendo Switch Online. These games are not compatible with the hybrid console.

As a result of this, there are still certain positive aspects associated with using the Wii U.

BUT you HAVE to play it

Regrettably, a lot of users who haven’t used their Wii U in a while are finding out that when they start it up, their Wii U no longer works. Memory system faults seem to be persistent with the Wii U, namely the memory error 160-0103 that may take place on the GamePad. Even though none of the affected Wii U systems had been modified or altered in any manner, every single user complaint mentions that they had not used their Wii Us in years.

The corruption that ultimately results in the errors seems to have some connection to the NAND. Customers whose Wii Us have become unusable have reported that resetting the system to its factory settings does not resolve the issue. It is now abundantly evident that a NAND backup is the only approach that has any chance of rescuing the player’s console. Since Nintendo is no longer offering official support for the Wii U, even if a backup was stored in advance, the procedure would still be difficult to complete. Regrettably, this is the case.

Players are unable to send their Wii U consoles in for repairs at this point because of the console’s advanced age. Users who are experiencing the issue code have reported that the directions provided by Nintendo UK are not functioning, despite the fact that Nintendo UK does offer some instructions for the error code that was stated before. For the time being, it is recommended that gamers of the Wii U switch on their consoles at random intervals in order to circumvent the problem.
