Wii U Crashing..
Hi,
My son get a wii u for xmas (standard version) and it has started to freeze while playing and emitting a buzzing sound. The only way to get it going again is to pull out the power lead and start over. The console doesn't feel hot to touch and I've checked if it needs updating (it doesn't). Weirdly it only happens when playing Lego Marvel Superheroes..could it be the game thats causing the problem? Also the memory is starting to get full, would this have any sort of affect on it?
If worst comes to worse we'll have to replace it but really only want that as a last resort. Are their any fixes for this?
Cheers.

Your WiiU will crash when playing certain games (especially earlier releases) just hold the power button until it switches off! ;-) it's totally normal mate!
(I remember playing darksiders & it crashed 6 times in a row)

I've seen similar complaints about other versions as well (be they on last gen machines or new gen. Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo) Not enough product testing.
Lego games can be quite buggy ...I had Lego City Undercover freeze a few times.
Nice one, thanks for your reply. As i said it seems to be happening during Lego Marvel Superheroes but then again that it the game that gets played the most.
Thanks again, you've put my mind at ease!
Lego games are notorious for freezing on any platform. I know, I've yet to play one that didn't leave me tearing my hair out *currently screaming at Batman 3 on the PS3* I think it's less your console and more the same problem we've had to suffer for years now.
I know my WiiU copy of super heroes crashed numerous times (loud buzzing) & like you've stated lego games aren't exactly bug free (@ the best of times) on any platform! ;-)
(his WiiU is perfectly fine)
Side Note..As someone who has gamed since the zx81. The lego games are fantastic imo!
Unless the publisher sees that bugs in the games are causing a lot of issues, they won't bother fixing them, even if they're known issues. The only way is to call up, and let WB know it's causing you issues. If enough people get in touch, they'll spend the resources required to fix and patch the game.
