Just in the last few weeks the Wii is doing this weird thing where it freezes right in the middle of gameplay and just makes an annoying humming sound. The only way to get it going again is to cut the power to the Wii and reboot. It’s kind of annoying. It doesn’t happen on specific games – pretty much any ol’ game will do. At first it seemed to just happen with Carnival Games, but since then the kids have run into it on a couple others (both Wii and Gamecube games). Pretty sucky.

I did a search to see if anyone else was having issues and found this video on YouTube:

(actually there’s a lot of examples on YouTube, I just chose that one)

Ours is doing the exact same thing and it’s annoying – and every last video uploaded has that same god-awful humming/buzzing noise when it freezes. Hopefully, it’s something Nintendo can easily fix with an update.
