Wii U Failure

We had Little Kat over the house one night for dinner. Afterwards we wanted him to spend time with us. So we thought we could play a game. Kit Kat and Little Kat were against board games. So we proposed a video game instead. Momoko thought we could play Smash Brothers on the Wii.

The Wii U console booted up. However the tablet that connected to it was dead. Apparently it had been dead since Momoko's niece visited us last summer. I decided that we needed to replace either the tablet or the whole Wii U system.

I was shocked that there was little supply for sale. New Wii U consoles were going for $900 to $1100 on Amazon. Even a used tablet was $140 in average condition. This must be some sort of price gouging. Before making a purchase, I checked the existing table and found it unplugged. After charging up, it worked fine.
