So I loaded up a backup of link's crossbow training (PAL, scrubbed) to test it out on gamma.

I made a profile and went to practice, starting level 1.

The level is taking a long time to load... I figured it must be a freeze, so i press some buttons on the wii. When i press the home button, the usual Home button sound is heard, but the screen remains frozen. I waited a few minutes before powering off the wii and the screen goes blank.

Then i power on the wii. Guess what, the first thing that appears is the same frozen screen... and no sound system menu sound so it didnt seem to be running.
I was a little worried so i ejected the disc and booted again, to the same result.
Next I pulled the power plug out, waited a few moments and then plugged it back in, and started the Wii. guess what, the same screen appears.

At this point i was quite freaked, but i had never heard of such a brick before and failed to see how it would be possible.
One more reboot and i mashed a few buttons, fortunately the screen spontaneously changed back to the warning screen and the system menu loaded.

So does anyone know what happened?

    Honestly wouldn't be that shocked if switch 2 had gta6
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    No way switch 2 gets GTA 6, def not powerful enough. Maybe GTA 5. (Take Two CEO says next gen GTX graphics cards will be needed for PC play even, so must be graphically intense)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If you read it, it says company will support the switch 2, but says nothing bout bringing GTA 6 to switch 2.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    It also doesn't say they wont
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    firefox 135 has vertical tabs and it actually looks good design-wise
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    While there’s no confirmation of GTA 6 making its way to Nintendo’s next system, it’s clear that Take-Two isn’t ruling out future support.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If it happens, which I doubt, it will be a watered down version, like the GTA 3, VC, SA is on Switch 1.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    GTAV came out at the end of 360s life cycle so it won't be like it's horrible

    These games really don't need super power systems like people think they need good optimization
