Wii U stuck on preparing for an hour now
so I tried launching Splatoon today (it is stored on my HDD) and it has been stuck on "preparing" for an hour now and the hardrive is blinking a lot like it's writing/reading I think
and idk what to do I am scared if I would lose all my save data if I force shut it down and the hardrive would corrupt or something so is there anything I can do about this? and what caused it?
