A memory-corrupting error reportedly stemming from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (http://www.joystiq.com/game/super-smash-bros-2014) is rendering some Wii U consoles unusuable, multiple (http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/633202-super-smash-bros-for-wii-u/70700179) sources claim (http://smashboards.com/threads/error-code-160-0103.380245/).
Users experiencing Error Code 160-0103 report a number of related issues, ranging from data deletion to unplayable games. In some cases, a related error message (160-1710) persists even in the Wii U's Data Management menu, requiring the console to be shipped to Nintendo for repair.
"There is a problem with the system memory," the error message

A specific cause has not been determined, but many users report experiencing the issue after turning the system off and back on again after a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U session. Issues related to Error Code 160-0103 were infrequently reported prior to the release of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and a reliable solution is not yet known.
Joystiq has reached out to Nintendo regarding the error message, but has not received a response.
[Update: A Reddit post clarifies (http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2o2ems/error_1600103_its_not_smash/) that the problem is not exclusively caused bySuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, citing previous user experiences with Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart 8, and other Wii U games. Faulty flash memory chips are suspected to be at fault, though a consistent, proven cause remains unknown.]
