Sometimes some background pixels pop up when playing MH3 (and for some reason if you hit home button while playing a NES game dead pixels start popping up but go away after resuming game). Probably due to the fact that the system has been played for 1000 of hours. |
Aye that sounds like the gpu overheating alright, popped up a bit early in the consoles life because of the fan not powering on to counter the heat which would happen when the system was downloading data from the net while the system was on standby. Sorry to hear it happen after all this time, on the upside though you can find used Wii consoles pretty much everywhere for chump change so a replacement shouldn't be hard to get for ya.
Cool that you got so much use out of the system though before it suffered from the gpu dying, that's some sick amount of playtime :)
