no my games are brand new with no scratches
the wii is also new

[lofz]

lets sum it up in one here

the nintendo wii is a piece of f**king Shite.
i bought mine 2 weeks ago (over half a year from launch date) - ive downloaded plenty of VC games and the internet browser and its been working absolutely perfectly since- THIS MORNING.
except when the wiimotes unsync but that fixes with an easy power unplug.

i recently downloaded zelda 64 ocarina of time started playing everythin was fine was playing it last night for hours lol and i fell asleep with the wii left on - but ive done this before on the wii and on other consoles n no probs at all....

woke up in the morning, wii still on zelda screen still up try to turn it off with remote - dont work, tried holding down power button - dont work.. so i ave to unplug and im thinking, ok then.




try to load up zelda again and it crashes just before i press Start button so now im like, ok ill try again.
held down power button, turned off and on again and now the f**king think doesnt boot up just a black screen.
Unplugged the power for 10 minutes plugged back in and it was working so i was like Few............


played wii bowling for 2 mintues and it CRASHED AGAIN.
so now im thinking - WHAT THE FUUUUUCK!

repeated this unplug process over and over again to see if it stops crashing, the longest ive played any game now without it crashing is 2 minutes and sometimes it doesnt even boot up, i feel like throwing this shitf**k of a console out the window..


any1 with the same problem please let me know if uve fixed it or anything as this is frustrating as F**K

EDIT - doesnt even boot up now just black screen (cry)

You obviously do not know how to take care of a machine properly and ended up with a broken Wii. It must have froze from overheating. I'd call Nintendo.
Or just leave it for a bit. Let it cool down. You also may be starting to fill up your Wii to a point where its starting to slow down. Leave it be for a day or two let it cool, try again, then if it aiin't working get rid of a few games and try again, then call Ninty for help.

well thats a nicer reply
i only have 8 VC games - just said plenty as in enough to keep me going.

ive left the VC for ages and it feels cold it doesnt even boot up all the time anymore and when it does it crashes after 2 minutes :///

Oh dear, is it all VC or just N64?
I'd still call Nintendo.

two n64 games.
one turbografx
four nintendo oldschool games
one sega...


cba to go through with all this sending the console back and waiting 2-3 weeks FFS this is shoddy

Just don't leave it on all night. If you do be prepared for freezing. Also apparently there are some VC games with some problems too. If you can, try to check how much memory your wii has left(clik the buton that says wii on the bottom left of the menu screen and go from there).

heh heh messaging on two different boards.
cant check how much memory i ave left theres not enough time as it freezes on the channel select screen now.

but i downloaded zelda last night and i think i had around 1500 blocks left or something.


oh yeah - i swear zelda is buggy i remember somethin that happened last night.
if you've ever played it, it crashed a couple of times when i selected the Hyrule shield when i was a kid (in the game)
and sometimes when i pressed start it would seem like it was going to crash and also when i pressed the home button a black screen came outta nowhere for bout 5 seconds.. shame console crashes before i can do anything

OK thats more thn me so thats not the problem. When you got up was it paused or still playing? If playing did it seem frozen? It may seem like a dumb question, but hey you never know.

If its overheating leave it be then try again in a few days.
If it ain't working then, make the call.
Or just be on the safe side and call now.

Those are my suggestions.

I heard some N64 games are a bit "sluggish"(being more specific) on VC.
