Wii u disc cleaner10/29/2023 The bottom of the disc can be flawless, but don't let that fool you. I've run into this holes issue wth at least five Wii U discs, which was why I looked into it further. I've bought tons of used discs over the years, ones that the bottoms have been pretty beat up.and they still worked. I guess the only message from me is to be aware that I've had it happen, and hold up any disc you want to buy used to a strong light source to see if it has any holes. Because there are people here with comlletely hole free discs, the copyright protection story doesn't hold up (wouldn't everybody's discs have the pinholes then?) If the holes appear from mishandling discs, then these discs are comparably much lesser quality than any other CD gaming media I own because I have never, ever had a disc not load. I treat all my stuff very carefully and always have. I would have chalked it up to user error (careless handling of disc) had it not been for the brand new disc that suddenly developed a pinhole. I think it's something about the manufacturing of the discs themselves. I don't believe it's bit rot.at least from my understanding of what that is. Maybe Nintendo warranty cover this one as it was purchased new, or is it the old 90 day warranty? It's really a shame as each game has had zero damage to the bottom of the disc, none. I've personally had it happen now to SMW 3D (still working though), Marioparty 10, Mariokart 8.only the first was new, the others used. Could it be an across the board manufacturing flaw? It's really a shame. What gives?Ĭan anybody speak to this phenomena? I haven't spent a lot on Wii U physical media but if this great game someday goes kaput, that will be a shame. But this was a new game, verified pinhole free on opening, and now about six months later, it's got a hole. Having been aware of this problem, I'm very careful with how I handle the games. I just checked my SMW 3D today to see if I could spot any, and, sure enough, I can see one very close to the inner spindle area. I have already experienced an issue with games that won't load due to tiny little pinholes that appear to start in the top, art portion of the disc. So I bought a new, sealed SMW 3D months ago from Walmart that still had some Wii U stock.
