Forums - Nintendo - Is the Wii dead?

I went to use my brother's Wii for my daily dose of Wii fit only to be greeted by a question mark, the console didn't recognise the disk.

I thought the disk was dirty so I cleaned it and no luck.

I figured maybe the disk was dead so I tried another game just to make sure, same scenario. A third, forth, fifth and sixth and nothing.

I even entered each of them "upside" in case it was just me being stupid forgetting how to put a disk into a Wii and still the same result with each of the disks.

Everything works fine just the inablity to read disks. I tried restarting and what not but still the same thing, any tips or is it out and out dead?

The lens that read the disk are proberly dirty. So you'll have to do 2 things

1. Send it to nintendo(go to their website)
2. Get a disk that cleans it

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

I thought you going to talk 'bout something completely different when I read the thread's title.



Pixel Art can be fun.

:0 Judging by the threads title I just assumed that Leo-j's prediction had finally come true and GTA had murdered all the Wii's across the globe!

I was actually waiting for the first fat joke to come in, in actual fact I'm very skinny, I use the Wii to maintain fitness and posture, jumping to conclusion for the fail.

Try blowing compressed air in the disc slot or, if you don't want to risk it, use a lens cleaner.

 I read that more as a personal insult than a weight joke. Just sayin'.

You know how it is, you type something and by the time you press enter, the penny drops and by then it's too late ^_^
