Had a problem with my Wii today. So, I decided that I wanted to play Mario Party 8, since I hadn't played it in a while, so I did. Well, it was all fun and games until the third turn when we was about to start the minigame, and all of a sudden, this error saying "The game disc could not be read. Refer to the Wii Operations Manual for details." and I was like wtf? So I just ejected the disc, inserted it back into the console on a different side, but it showed the same error message. Sure, it was a little dirty, and there were a few scratches, but even then, the game worked perfectly fine in the past. It kept doing this, so I tried Mario Kart Wii to see if I had the same problem, and sure enough, I did. Just as I selected my license, the error came. So I just did the same as what I did with Mario Party 8, eject it and put it back in on a different side, and it actually worked. It kept doing that throughout the game though. I tried to play Mario Party 8 again since I really wanted to play it, and yet again, I got the same error. It's done this with multiple discs, and I know it's not the discs since they all work fine on my Wii U, so later on, my Dad is going to open up my Wii and take a look since I think it's probably the console itself or the laser/lens that aren't working. Hopefully he's able to fix it, since I really wanna play my games again! :(
