Smash Bros. For Wii U Bricking Consoles With Error?

Playing Smash will not cause your console to brick or malfunction.

 

[gamestationpro]

does anyone know if the error code is connected to the wii u firmware update 5.3.1 u?

 

[Capybara Gaming]

I won't be updating or playing online until this is fixed. I'm content with just playing with friends/alone

 

[Frank Ploegmakers]

It's not super smash bros that's causing it! It happened before!
only now, because super smash bros is so popular, the subject is been up more often. Just take a look, this will explain it:

Don't scare people in not playing smash, it's not causing it.

I posted this in the other thread but I'll post it here. Nintendo is aware of the issue and is investigating.

This happened to me. I called support and they told me to reformat which bricked my Wii. It was less than a month old so I returned it and bought a new one on black Friday. lol

Glad to see you survived the catastrophe that is the Black Friday... -salutes-

I haven't come across the error. Been playing hundreds of games in for glory. everything is working fine. Those incidents are not caused by Smash , those are hardware issues. Too much misinformation out there thanks to the game sites without bothering to verify or investigating further.

Neither did I. Must be a problem with the latest update.

Also, where's female Robin in the OP's picture?

My system is fully updated and no issues for me. This was blown way out of proportion. The game sites just love being controversial and hastily spread misinformation. That's very irritating for nintendo for sure.

I meant to say the update might cause certain Wii U systems to get errors.

 

[Luigi Smasher]

This is simply insane. Thanks for the notice though, Smashboards! Now I know what to do if this happens to me

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

So, did anyone encounter this glitch who has not played online yet?

 

[Greed-checkTheTek]

Nintendo you be ****in up

 

[WinterShorts]

With this scenario, would it be now a good idea that I ended up not asking for a Wii U and Smash?

 

[JohnnyB CardnComics]

Oh boy, not again

 

[ProfessorTakehiko]

 

[smashbroskilla]

Nintendo is like "yay we're making money this holiday season woo!" Then they're like "OMG we just lost a quarter of our bonus checks guise!"

 

[The Derrit]

Did anyone actually read this, or just skip right to the comments section?

I really want to know.

 

[ishmokin]

So much ignorance going around the internet,people being so paranoid. It reminds me of the time when people thought a virus on a floppy disk would infect other floppy disks when placed together physically. Fools.

 

[N7S]

At least they're aware. I would assume Nintendo would release a statement about a patch or fix for the people that have received this error.

Blown out of porpotion..this reminds me of something..

 

[WinterShorts]

Fine Iwota, we'll live with it. I mean it's not like people are going to see this newsthread and think the Wii U is an even worse console rght?

 

[gamerjohn1991]

I hope Nintendo and Sakurai can make a patch to fix this...

 

[thekimdom]

Ebola much? how many confirmed cases out of a half a million, for one game?? I can't think of any data structure that has ever been completely foolproof. I guess they should put batteries in the unit itself so no one can ever power it off accidentally or intentionally while it's trying to write to system memory. Or have stricter enforcement of the types of memory it will attempt to write to. I got this once with Mario Kart, on a jump drive. I was none too surprised tho.

 

[SonicTeam765]

Happened to me and now it start working for some reason.

Nintendo logic! ^_^

 

[Smash4BrosFan8]

Damn, hope this gets fixed, i hope it doesn't take an entire month.

Iwata: If we can't do anything right, then...

 

[WinterShorts]

then......fight me in smash? Good luck.

 

[Smash4BrosFan8]

Well, apperantly, since the newest wii u update is released, some users said its fixed. And if it isn't fixed by your wii u well, then you are screwed.

I've read that they're still working on fixing the glitch, so probably not safe yet.

 

[ProfessorTakehiko]

You're actually serious? o3o

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Guys, I just read comments elsewhere that people with the update are still experiencing the glitch.

 

[ProfessorTakehiko]

It's Xbox One all over again...

The game is still safe to play you know

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

How would you know, Alpaca? It's not just the glitch even happening that I'm worried about, it's also the wiping out of all of the data on the Wii U. And it's not just with smash either, it's also happened with Hyrule Warriors. Ipso Ergo it is not safe.

The Wii U is always glitchy these days. Even Disney Infinity 2.0 had a audio bug with some of the characters, lol. x3

That error has been with th Wii u since launch. You only get bricked if you try to reformat it, THEN it ****s up. So what I'm saying is. If you get the error, Dont try to delete your save file, don't try to move it, and don't reformat.

Alpaca, I appreciate what you're trying to do for me here, but I'm just trying to be absolutely sure I don't see the glitch happen at all.

Besides, if it keeps kicking you out of playing the game, why wait so long until the bug fix? It's not like it's gonna stop bugging automatically.
