Title: Pikmin 3 to Wii U, replicatable freezing
Post by: RABicle on August 11, 2014, 10:54:40 AM
Ok friends. This is frustrating.

So I load up Pikmin 3 eShop download, version 2.0.0
I play for a bit then I have enough and hit the him button and return to the Wii U Menu.
It freezes while loading the Wii U menu, every single time.

I also have an HDD attached.

Has anyone and any similar problems? Any suggestions to fix this?

I have heard that sometimes, deleting and redownloading a game can fix freezing issues.

I don't have any experience with hard drives for Wii U, but I've heard that certain types and power setups might cause freezing issues.

If your HDD doesn't have y-cable or external power source it will be unstable.

I'm not sure that it is the external hard drive.  I do have one of the "recommended" hard drives with an external power source.  I've experienced the same problem with Pikmin 3.  I have a number of games stored on the external HD, and I've only experienced this problem with Pikmin 3 thus far. 

I have had more success exiting to the Wii U menu if I didn't load Pikmin 3 using quick start.

Well, I'm just glad it all worked out.
