Wii U being stupid

[Tonkka²]

Well this settles it. I am not getting a wii u

Just because 2 idiots complain about their Wii U arriving "broken" (or they are just too stupid to use it) shouldn't affect your choice of purchasing this console. Me and Mr.LoL both bought a Wii U and they work fine. So its a tie. At least 50% of all Wii U's work when coming out of the box according to this tiny research.

EDIT: *Sigh*, i was supposed to press the "Modify" button but i hit the quote instead and didn't notice.

Am i the only one here who is not a complete handicap who actually can read user manuals and is satisfied with their Wii U?

Okay lets go trough the basics:

1)Is everything plugged in? yes
2)Is your sensor bar on the right side? I have the settings set to below the TV. My sensor bar is below the TV.
3)Did you connect the controller with the sync button? indeed
4)Did you calibrate the controller correctly? I'm sure I did. Then again, I didn't find a calibration setting. Only the sensitivity menu under settings.
5)Is the controller up your ass or pointing at the screen? You should check this point twice. ass screen
6)a wood block isn't a TV. Turn your TV on and place your sensor bar on it. I've always put it under.

Did you do the Wii remote settings thingy when first turning the Wii U on? if no, go widdle waddle around in the settings menu
if you did do it, try putting it on top of tv and see if it works

It's not my fault my wii u had hardware issues. :c

I know whats wrong I had to deal with this at a cousins house.

If your controllers don't have wii motion plus built in you have to get that addon thing and plug it in.
Wii U doesn't handle the really old controls well.

So you either have to get the new ones with motion plus built in or look for one of those addon things.

I am using it with the addon.
I think it's my sensor bar. I pointed my remote at a stable light source and it worked fine. I'll have to use that light until I can find out what's broken. Now, if only the light wasn't in a completely different direction from the TV...

Nintendo could probably help you
if the answer isn't in the Wii U manual somewhere

it sounds like either defective hardware, old dying hardware, or you've done something wrong

[beachbum111111]

So if you don't do everything precise to get your wii u to work it dies?

no
the main reason for bricks is people shutting off the system (whether accidental or intentional) during an essential update. you can choose not to update and continue to play at the beginning of the system's first start up, and the update will download in the background and install later on.

[auzman466]

It can't be the sensor bar. The old sensor bar won't work, either.
For now, I'll use my led desk light.

Can you play the wii u if you don't update it?

Didn't arrive broken. Didn't complain about it being broken.

[Blastdown]

yes

[auzman466]

Nevermind, I'm stupid. The sensor bar wasn't plugged in all the way.
It looked like it was pushed in as far as it could go. I shouldn't have to push it until it sounds like I've broken it.
