Japan - Brawl disc read errors return, but this time it's Mario Kart

26
The exact same issue that happened to Japanese gamers that bought Brawl is now happening with Mario Kart Wii. Some people that purchased the game are complaining that their Wii cannot read the disc, and the game is freezing/crashing. Nintendo has once again stated that the problem is due to Mario Kart Wii being a double-layer disc. Nintendo will clean your Wii for you, which should do away with the problem.

It's not the double disc. It's an overzealous developer, you know the ones that venture off the reservation, that wanted more than EDTV, so he coded it at 481P. Overload.

Nintendo seems to be hiding their disc failures. It would be nice if they fessed up and were honest about what is going on.

These are the first two DL games, if every DL game is going to cause all these errors, they're not going to be able to keep their lie going for very much longer.

Be best thing for both the Company and Customers is if Nintendo fessed up, extended the warranty and fixed the things for free. The way you treat your customers will make them understand that mistakes happen. MS owned up and took care of its customers, no harm no foul now.

If Sony had fessed up with all the PS2 problems, people might been willing to forgive them too.

2.1 - Not really
It's just a small amount of people. No one I know personally experienced it with Brawl, and I know a ton of people who got Brawl, including myself.

Nintendo is fixing the issue for free. Dont really expect any more from them. The fix is for anyone warranty or not also.

Nintendo will have to build better drives if this issue continues with every dual-layer game made.

5.1 - HEY!
"keep your system clean?" Are you joking me? How do you manage to get dust inside the wii? Vertically, the system is inclined behind and the trap near the cords is fan that gets the heat out.

The invoice you get from Nintendo says nothing about what was fixed.I agree it has nothing to do with dust because there is a 75.00 charge on the bill for unexplained items. I doubt cleaning the lens cost 75.00, but nowhere on the invoice does it say the drive was replaced. No need to make things up just because you dont like them.

I doubt it's the Wii's fault that it can't read these discs. Next time you rent a game from Blockbuster flip that thing over. I guarantee that it will either be scratched to hell or coated with an unknown layer of slime. I don't know what people do with their discs, but it appears to involve sandpaper & generous amounts of KY jelly.

For the record:

1. The wii does not use DVDs it uses Nintendo optical discs. They can hold the same amount per layer as DVD. Wikipedia that if you want.

2. Mario kart wii is not on a dual layer disc

3. The dirty disc errors are from cigarette smoke. If you smoke don't do it near your wii.
