Did you know the wii u gamepad has a fatal flaw that will make the console completely useless with a few years?
I didn't until last night when my gamepad kept disconnecting since the day I got it and I finally looked it up.
The wifi chip they use in the gamepad slowly becomes useless the more time you're using the controller, eventually burning out completely at around 850 hours of gametime.
It's easy to replace the chip itself but the problem is because the console barely sold they don't make it anymore so you're looking at paying around £60 if you can even find one in stock and at that price you might as well just buy another gamepad entirely.
You have to use the gamepad on startup to select a game so once the gamepad dies you can't really use the console at all so it's a big deal.
Anyway I'm gonna try and take it back on Monday and hope I can get a full refund.
I bought a 1tb external harddrive and 128gb sd card to use with the console but I can use the harddrive for extra storage on my laptop since it only has 500gb on it. I guess I could use the sd card to mod my 3ds or vita but it's not something I have any interest in atm xD
#Apparently the wifi chips used to cost like £5 but then the supply ran out at some point in the last few years#and now they're just getting rarer and more expensive
