Super Mario and Wii Sports broke my Wii

posted by Nevery on January 9, 2007 11:00 AM in Games

Last night I decided to get some quality time with my Wii, I haven't played for quite some time. The first thing I did was download Super Mario and play for about 5 minutes, but got the itch for bowling so I jumped into that. My A.D.D. kicked in yet again and I wanted to de-virginize my copy of Elebits so I went back to the Wii menu. When I got to the menu the mysterious message popped up (see above picture) and I couldn't do anything. A simple unplug power, plug it back in, and power it up would hopefully do the trick but I got the same error. I called Nintendo, but they don't have any elite tricks to help me out so I need to send my Wii back to them for repair. Why did Mario have to shit on my Wii? This is the second new console that I've had issues with, which is to be expected, but it's still annoying as hell.

Poor Nevery. =(

Oddly enough, that's the first report I've heard of a Wii breaking. Besides Frodo's freezing up on Excite Truck, I haven't heard of any problems. Might just be your luck bro.
