Bricked Wii U after Failed System Update from Splatoon Game. How to Unbrick It?

Long shot but random question about Nintento Wii U console.

My nephew somehow bricked his Wii U console after trying to update the system when launching Splatoon game. Now the console is stuck at the Wii U logo.

Does anyone know how to fix it, or perhaps point me to the right direction on how to unbrick it?

    There's tons of resources on this with a simple online search. From articles to forums to video guides. Keep trying till you get there. r/WiiU exists too for relevant support.

    If it's stuck at the logo screen without an error code you'll need to use a USB host exploit.

    Time for you to go down the rabbit hole of UDPIH. It's not easy and, if you don't have the time/patience, you might want to try and find a local console modder/repairer who can do it for you.

    It doesn’t sound good from what I know about Wii U hacking. You’d have better luck asking on a forum with people that are into modding consoles
    I recommend GBAtemp
