User may have ‘hacked’ Nintendo Wii U network just hours after launch

Nintendo’s new games console, the Wii U, has apparently had its user network cracked within hours of the machine’s retail release, and by only a regular end user who reached debug menus by accident.

A poster going by the name of Trike on gaming forum NeoGAF claims the discovery of hidden admin content while attempting to add contacts to a friends list on the Wii U, and has made public some of the findings, including a list of what appears to be unannounced games content to be released for the machine.
