    Bought a Wii U today and when I booted it up it just hung on the startup logo. No menus, I couldn't even shut it down via the power button.

    This happen to anyone else?

    Luckily, the WiiU are in stock pretty much everywhere. Go exchange it for a working one.

    @yoshimitz707: No flashing. Just the big Wii U logo on the screen. I also could not shut it off with the power button, even if i held it for a few seconds. Had to unplug it to shut it off. The eject button seems to work though. Gonna try to exchange it today.

    @Minsky: Or just go to the store you got it and say "Dis shit dnt work biatches!" and replace it. If you got it on Amazon or the like, then call instead of going to their workplace and say what I said.
