Topic: my wiiu was stolen

hi all,

i am new here, i have been meaning to register but i have been spending most of my free time on my wiiu, however i travel for work, and my wiiu was stolen out of my car, i spent over 250.00 in e shop games, any chance nintendo will work with me ??? the nintendo id being locked to just one console is my biggest complaint ggrr.
awesome site all.

You play the WiiU in your car?

no i dont play in my car, but i play it in hotel when not at work while traveling, however i took it out of the hotel room because i didnt want to risk a house keeper stealing it, dumb move since it was taken out of my car when a co worker forgot to lock it.

i don't think nintendo sucks at online gaming, i love playing my games online. i just wish i could get my games i bought back. anyway i know trolls are every where so i don't blame you for being suspicious.

Nothing we can do here, just get in contact with them. Don't get your hopes too high though.

When my Wii was stolen I called Nintendo mostly just to make sure my credit card number wasn't stored anywhere on the system, but I did ask if there was any way I could recoup my downloads. They said they'd "look into it" or something to that effect.

I wasn't able to afford a new Wii for a while as that wasn't all that was stolen, and since then I've repurchased most my VC downloads in their real physical forms. I really don't miss any of my WiiWare, so I never looked any further into it. But my advice is to call them and ask. Can't hurt.

This might sound silly but.... Contact your homeowner's insurance. My family and a couple friends have had stuff stolen, even out of their car when not actually home, and most homeowner's insurance extends to lost or stolen property. It's definitely worth a shot. Nintendo offers warranties but not insurance. Calling them is most likely a waste of time.

Four pages' worth of comments and only a handful actually worth anything to the OP. Congratulations, all, you truly outdid yourselves tonight. Do it again and some of you may wind up banned for your trouble.

@fzerofan: I'm sorry your Wii U was stolen. I hope you've filed a police report, I'm afraid that's the only way Nintendo will work with you to restore your eShop account and purchased games. Other than that, I think ShadJV has a good idea to try contacting your insurance company to see if they cover items stolen from your car (they also may require a police report, though it doesn't hurt to ask). Good luck to you!
