There are a few common Nintendo Wii U error codes that can occur when trying to play games or use certain features on the console. These include error code 161-0002, which is a general error that can occur when trying to connect to the internet or update software; error code 160-0103, which is an error that can occur when trying to access certain features on the Wii U eShop; and error code 102-160D, which is an error that can occur when trying to use the Wii U's backwards compatibility feature. In most cases, these error codes can be fixed by restarting the console or by performing a software update.
