Wii U:Error Codes

Not all Wii U error codes are known or understood, and it is unlikely all codes will ever be documented in full due to Nintendo failing to document many of them. As such, this page can be considered a living document - any information written here will likely be subject to frequent changes.

Reading an error code

An error has two parts. There's the code itself and the official description.

We're only focused on the code.

Known Errors

In the tables below, error codes are separated into sets by their class (e.g. 102-XXXX), and then sorted within their class in ascending order by their result code (e.g. XXX-2882).
