Wii U FAIL: Can't read perfect disk

This has been happening to me for awhile now, so I finally decided to catch the bugger on video. Feel free to subscribe and all that jazz, or not. Anyone else running into this issue?

EDIT: It's possible the reading failure is due to micro-scratches caused by shipping, since the disc is high-capacity. Unlikely, but possible. Even if this is the case, the Wii U is more prone to this being an issue, because I've rented over 80 PS3 games from the same service with no issues, and 2 other games I have that weren't shipped to me have had this issue pop up randomly, just not as extensively.

The console or the game? The game is a rental and I haven't confirmed that this is console flaw, so I don't think I want to send in my Wii U for 2+ weeks :p

Do you get the read errors with other games, or just that rental of NSMBU?

This happened to me with NSMBU when I first used the Wii U console. I didn't use the included stands Played it fine. After I was done playing. I put the icluded console stands on the console. The next day I tried play NSMBU but the dsic wouldn't read. So I removed the stands and lay the console flat. Since then no problems with playing games

Do use the included console stand seemed to be the solution.

my wii u has only done it once, and it was because of finger prints , be careful these disc are like blurays- finger print magnets and one finger print will be enough for it not to be read ,

a second time it did so with marioparty 8 cause it was scratched , so ya , unless you got a defective unit it shouldnt do anything if the disc is clean - be sure there is no finger prints !

yea this has happend to me like 3 times in 1 month... i just eject the disc..and put it back in then it works..

Not happened to me. Do you guys have your console vertical or horizontal?

The occassional disc-read error is apparently caused by having your console placed in the verticle position. I've yet to experience it personally so I'm unable to confirm whether that's actually the case.

In that case, I'd definitely contact Nintendo.

lol...for what? only happened 3 time in 1 month and all i had to do was eject it and put it back in...

see this is why people return stuff and make threads about garbage just to make bad publicity.

Because it shouldn't be happening at all. I believe it's safe to assume that you lack little understanding of your rights as a consumer.
