Anyone have this issue with their Wii U like when you're playing a game and all of the sudden your Wii U just shuts off. Like it's unplugged from your TV. The game doesn't even freeze, the screen just goes black or whatever shows up on your TV the system is unplugged. I checked the lights on my Wii U and nothing was on when this happened. Like it was unplugged. I checked the back of the Wii U while it was on a little while afterwards and idk if that's the fan behind it or not, but it wasn't spinning. This is the 3rd time this has happened to me in a span of 2 weeks. One of them happened while the system was turned off. This happened to me while I was practicing with my Amiibos today and I'm hoping there is a fix or a solution to this issue so I don't have to worry about this in the future.

I checked the back of the system immediately afterwards and it didn't seem incredibly hot either.

This actually happened at one of the tournaments I was in.
Not lying.

The conclusion we came to was one of the controllers turned off automatically, or someone pressed the 'off' button on the GamePad. It's never happened since then. I wouldn't worry about it too much, if I were you. Just a random crash thing that just happens sometimes.

It was like unplugged though is what concerns me. Like the disc light wasn't on, nor the stand by light was on.
