Hello,
Thanks for contacting us about Wii U! I can certainly appreciate your curiosity about this upcoming console and your desire to determine what online information is rumor and what is fact. While I know you were hoping we'd be able to give you a set answer, the Wii U operations manual and details regarding the system settings have not yet been made public. What this means is that we do not have information to provide you with regarding the possibility of a setting like you described.
At this time, I can only encourage you to stay tuned on our website (
http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu) as this is where you'll find official announcements regarding Wii U. As the release date continues to draw nearer (November 18th, 2012), I'm confidant that more news will be posted.
Sincerely,
Karen Johnson
Nintendo of America Inc.

IGN recently reported that, by default, if you leave a game running that the console turns itself off and yuo lose your progress.
I was wondering if there was any truth to this, or maybe they just made a user error.
