My nearly 9.5 year-old Wii U is not powering up and the light is off. I'm going to have to contact some of my family members who have a Wii U it seems and borrow an AC adapter. I hope that's all it is, because buying an AC adapter is easier than replacing batteries or going under the hood.

Gotta play my Xenoblade Chronicles X somehow. It's basically why I have it connected still 

Yup, X is one of the top reasons people hang onto a Wii U. 

I think X Definitive Edition (or at least a generic port with changed controls) is all but guaranteed but will wait for NG/Switch 2. Xenoblade games run with clear compromises on Switch, and X should really wait for a more powerful system at this point. X was ambitious for its time for a Nintendo title in terms of scope and file size. 

I played X for about an hour and a half when I got it on clearance 5 years ago. I don't think I'll ever want to play much more because it's grindy and there's no casual mode. I've read it's harder than Xenoblade Chronicles, which is one of the toughest games (for me) I beat the main quest on (no casual difficulty selection on Wii). 

Thankfully, trying the Ac adapter a few more times seems to have fixed the Wii U for now.
