My boyfriend and I got the Nintendo Wii U 32GB Console Premium Bundle + Splatoon yesterday. We were really excited to set everything up and get playing--but the system wouldn't let us go past the "Set Time" screen. We rebooted everything, went through the same settings until we reached the "Set Time" screen before it froze again. After several tries, we gave up.
I've seen a lot of people having problems with their Wii U freezing, but I've never come across stories about it freezing during the first set-up. Are we the only one here? I've tried again today, but no luck. It keeps freezing at the same point.
I really don't know what to do. We were really looking forward to it, it cost a lot of money, and now this. There's also no way of telling whether it's the Wii U console itself that causes the problem, or the gamepad. We're probably going to return it to the shop and ask for a new Wii U, but it really really sucks.
