My guess is it's the beginning of your wiiu laser going out. Some games expose the issue more than other

Not the laser just finger printed all over a disc just to see if it would read  , it was covered in grease and it played just fine! I dont have a clue why it wont play splatoon the disc looks brand new and I've already logged in 75 hours on it!


I wouldn't count out the laser.... on the original wii, it wouldn't play metroid prime 3... because that game used a dual layer dvd, and when it accessed that 2nd layer, the laser was too weak to read it. Some discs are a little thicker than others... a slight variation on it could be making it struggle to read the disc. Discs aren't perfect, and if the laser isn't either, disc read errors happen. I hope I'm wrong but, I'm betting I'm not.

 

If your wiiu is under warranty, I'd call nintendo and set up a repair. Nip it in the bud now if you can, they usually send you back your original machine, in about 2 weeks, so you won't lose any of your saved game saves and whatnot. Goodluck.
