Well everyone knows that every game freezes on you for some apparent reason and sometimes no apparent reason. Like the framerate is on a high level and all the sudden it drops to zero. Sometimes it freezes on the spot and sometimes it freezes on a black screen. Let me tell you the stories about my Wii freezing.

First Time

While I was in 5-4 in Super Paper Mario. I'm almost to the boss and then when I first got into the room and then I jumped and the game froze, and plus I forgot to save before-hand. Then after that I tryed again and it didn't freeze. It's maybe some sort of error.

Second Time

While I was playing Rayman Raving Rabbits (Don't Own). I was about play the minigame where you pick up Rabbits. But then I pressed a button and the game froze instantly. I didn't play the game after that.

Thrid Time

While I was playing Cruis'n, after I got done with L.A. Ghetto. Then the End Race Stats screen comes up about my score. Then when it about to come up to the Fast Times screen, the game froze. Then I tried again and it didn't freeze on me.

Fourth Time

I was playing Cruis'n again through L.A. Ghetto. Then after the end race results just before the Fast Times screen, then the game froze again for no apparent reason. I just want my $100,000 dollars in cash.

Fifth Time

Like the last time, same level, same old screen, but this time I have to insert my name in and guess what? The Game froze again for some apparent reason and then I got my disc clean and try to clean it and I though it might work.

Sixth Time

While I was playing Cruis'n over at my friends house. I've played though all the course on easy mode. But then L.A. Ghetto came up and after the race and the game froze once again. Then my friends parents where wondering what that noise was then I said, "My game froze!" Then I realized that I've played the game too damn much so I have to wait until later.

Well L.A. Ghetto doesn't always freezes on me. Maybe when I only trying to make a new record to the Fast Times. The arcade version also know as The Fast and the Furious never does that to me. It's maybe a glitch that the developers left it to screw with people's heads. So what is your Wii freezing stories, then post them here if you have a interesting one. Also don't make fun of me that I've played a game that Gamespot rated a 2.5. a while ago.

I only had it happen once while playing a game of Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. But the Wii was on the floor and we where shaking the floor quite a bit so I think that's what made it freeze. And the beta version of the internet channel froze on me all the time.

I remember before they came out with that update that helped prevent freezing with the system, my console froze up a few times while trying to access the internet channel or trying to play a game. It's only froze on me once after that update, and that was when I was playing Okami.(Majora's Mask on the Collector's Disk doesn't count since that's an uncommon error)

About 7 times, usually it has something to do with the internet channel or MoH:H2.

Only once. I accidentally knocked it over during a loading screen of SSX Blur. It was my fault, and I haven't had any other problems since then.

I purposefully overloaded it with vegetables in SSBM, but that's the only time it's ever happened. I think your problem is that your Wii sucks.

My first Wii did no matter what I was playing, so I shipped it back to Nintendo and got a replacement which works fine. You don't have to pay anything for doing so, so if it's really a problem for you I'd suggest doing the same.

Sometimes randomly (I think when it overheats) my Wii will freeze and make a loud noise that will keep going until I unplug the chord out of the back.

Yes, several times in the Wii Menu before loading a game, and.... maybe once or twice in a game but it I'm guessing it those were glitches in the game and nothing to do with the actual Wii.

I've heard that it could damage your Wii if you pull the plug while the game freezes.

yea it's prolly a much better idea to hold down the power button on the console.
