New owners of the Nintendo Wii U across North America have encountered a handful of post-launch issues.
Whilst thousands have flocked to Twitter to express that they're comfortably playing Wii U, there have been a handful of players experiencing issues with the new console.
The first revolves around the firmware update required to access the online apps on the Wii U. Most players should be able to download it within an hour or two on a modest internet connection, however there have been those who have accidentally bricked their hardware by shutting it off during the download.
The impact of hundreds of users entering the new Miiverse online network also caused a handful of niggles, with slight downtime during its first twenty four hours in the public domain.
A selection of users also had issues connecting the GamePad to the console itself, failed booting, power issues and flickering status lights. An small number have also expressed distrust in Nintendo after their consoles refused to load all-together.
Nintendo of America are recommending new owners send their Wii U consoles in for repair which apparently takes at least 5-7 working days.
If you're having issues with your new Wii U, be sure to consult the Nintendo Tech forums.
