Wii U thread

Is it still worth getting this console?

Yea, buy one for like 120 bucks then install homebrew. You can play any Nintendo game from NES to Wii U.

Original Wii is better tb.h

How’s ps1 emulation?

I love the Wii, but I want a console that outputs in HD

>retail price is more expensive than the Switch
>more expensive than PS4
If you really want one then get one used/refurbished.

>wii U
>HD

I seriously don’t get this. Why hasn’t the price dropped?

Surely it’s all overstock that they want to kill off

Are you suggesting that the Wii U doesn't output in 720p?

Wish I knew. Fucking Nintendo.
>2013
>Wii has been dead for a whole two years, even before the U launched
>Sin and Punishment, Smash Bros. Donkey Kong, Mario Galaxy are all at 50 fucking dollars
>Sin and Pun, a game that isn't popular and didn't sell for shit is at full retail price
Went on Ebay and got a copy for like 8 bucks. Fucking bullshit.

New
>£249.99
Used
>£120

Nintenjews

If you're into Nintendo's first-party games, you should defo pick it up. If not, don't.

Reminder that the Wii U is the PERFECT Nintendo console to own.
>Easily hackable, so everything is free
>Native support for Wii and GC games, both consoles have stellar libraries
>Virtual Console emulation for every Nintendo device except the Virtual Boy and 3DS
>One of the most interesting online communities is exclusive to the console and will soon die, get a Wii U before it does.
>Loads of fantastic games, such as Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros 4, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Fast Racing NEO, Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, Yoshi's Woolly World, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Gamecube Zelda HD versions with improvements, Runbow, Paper Mario Sticker Splash But Actually Good, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Affordable Space Adventures, the best version of Shovel Knight, Pokken, the best version of Rayman Legends, Hyrule Warriors, Lego City Undercover, the best console version of Deus Ex Human Revolution, ZombiU, Wii Sports Club, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and I'm getting tired of listing games here so I'll stop.
>The GamePad is fucking amazing, and the Wii U Pro Controller would be the best controller of all time (if it had analog triggers)
>The whole console is just charming. Compared to the dead console menus of the Switch, PS4, and XBOne, everything looks and feels so alive. The music is catchy and the home screen has that nice plaza of miis.
>Cheap right now because all the idiots are selling theirs to get a Switch
It is a fucking travesty that this console didn't sell. Fuck anyone who didn't buy it. Actually no, it's their loss. This is the greatest console of all time. I should say fuck anyone who still shitposts about this being a bad console. Same idiots probably think the Switch is better.

>This is the greatest console of all time
How does it feel to be such a gigantic faggot?

The Switch isnt worth picking up until its as hacked as the Wii U.

Its incredibly easy to hack the Wii U as long as you have an SD card and an external to put games on

>spend ~$150 on console with dumbest fucking gimmick of all time, nearly no worthwhile games, just to emulate old games on it
Or just buy a raspberry pi which is cheaper and would do a better job with emulation. Wii U is fucking trash hardware

>the entire library is free
>y-you just wanna emulate old shit on it
Pathetic

Its been discontinued, geniuses.

Also, Brawl is $30, Both Mario Galaxy games are $20 and have been for a while. Pretty sure DKCR was $30 or even $20 for a while too.

It plays GC games natively. Thanks, Wii Mode.

>the entire library is free
Did you forget that the entire library is trash too?
Oh shit you kids are here too? Gamecube is fucking trash, just play Melee on your PC, it's the only thing worth a shit on that terrible system.

no portaiblity, genius

It's vastly superior to the switch, so yes

>Wanting WiiUs fucking disgusting tablet to game on
Ok kiddo, Raspberry Pi and a chink tablet combined would be cheaper

Bitch I stated the year
>2013
for a reason

but can it run botw?

Wii U includes the original Wii

Why the fuck would you want to play that faggot shit?

Yes, and I stated those prices were applicable in 2013. Mario Galaxy has been a $20 Nintendo select or whatever they're called for years.

>greatest console
I'm a self-admitted Nintenbro and even I think you're a retard. The U is worse than the Wii.
>Wii U screen controller is best
lolno, the Wiimote is objectively the best console controller ever and it's a damn shame that it was left in the dust.

...

>Being this stuck in the past
She's gone forever kid, know that another man fucked her raw this morning

Wii U is literally the Wii with a gamepad and the Switch is the Wii U without the Wii

What's next?

>game has you dress up like a girl
>series is loved by (((gamer grills)))
>game is open world meme-shit
>graphics washed out like Riley Reid's asshole
Oh no, I'm crazy, that game so good yo

Switch XL which will be twice the size

I should've stated Galaxy 2 instead, my bad
>Galaxy 2 is $20
>in 2013
lmao no, just wrong Same with Donkey Kong

...

#FE is pretty fun. That and Mario Bros were the only fun games I found on it.

Actually Switch XLs will be gutted Gamepads relabeled as Switches with the innovative new "your joycons are part of the system" gimmick

Why else would they recall their unsold stock?

>Wii U is literally the Wii without the pad
Holy shit you're a fucking idiot.
Are you going off the logic of how Wii was just an overclocked Gamecube? What the fuck
>Switch is just a Wii U
There is no hope for you.

>without the pad
Fuck. I fucked up. There goes the integrity of my entire post. brb noose.

Switch is a totally divergent device. It's what the Wii U should have been.

Idiot. Wii U have full Wii mode with every feature and game working and has it's own games on top. Switch has only Switch content.

It is better than any other Nintendo console.
The Wii is basically included with the Wii U. Therefore, it is better. I will admit that the Wii had a slightly better library than the Wii U, but you can have both on the Wii U and more.
The Wiimote is decent, not the best controller. Not enough buttons to do shit. It's basically an NES controller with motion and 1 extra button. The Joy-Cons are better Wiimotes.

A master of nothing? Its getting the exact same third party "support" the Wii U got before people quietly stopped bothering

>It is better than any other Nintendo console.
Underage b&

The Wii U has the Wii architecture inside, and can play everything else Nintendo as well. Its superior.

It is the best Nintendo system if you want to have everything and just want one box to do it (non-PC)

I recently got a Switch but all I really want is smash bros, should I get a Wii U with smash or wait for a possible nintendo switch version

>playing nu-smash

Is that PS1 emulator any good yet?

Has PPSSPP been ported?

Theyre never going to port Smash, theres too much third party licensing involved and people would expect even more characters even though Hackurai is done.

>have a classic Wii for playing GameCube games and a Wii U for Wii U and GBA VC games

I'm too much of a pussy to mod anything, sucks

Go ahead and name a better Nintendo console. The NES is a piece of shit with outdated games. The SNES is a good contender but overall the Wii U wins when it comes to capability and games. The N64 is shit with no games. The Gamecube is outclassed by the Wii, but it does have a nice build + great controller + aesthetic menu. The Wii is outclassed by the Wii U, relies too much on remote control for everything, and breaks easily. The Wii U is the best. You get all the games and a ton of great new ones. You get the best controllers. You get the second screen.

Youd have to be an actual retard to screw up Wii U hacking, even the guide is at a braindead easy URL: wiiu.guide

I recently installed the forwarder to let you play Nintendont from the Wii U menu and switches the A and B buttons, anyone know why that is?

Pretty much all of those games are going to be ported to the Switch, everybody knows it'll happen eventually.

Can you play online with a hacked console?
Are there any chances of being banned if so?

Because the A & B buttons are switched in Japan and the guy who made the forwarder is a weeb autist. Either uninstall or deal with it.

>#FE
I've been meaning to play it, but my autism forces me to get the patched version and it's a pain in the ass. I don't have loadiine so i can't use the original method and I'm too retarded to learn how to decrypt the files and patch them. A guy on YT uploaded an already patched version so I'm getting that, but it's MEGA, meaning the bandwidth cap blocks the download every 2gb for 3-4 hours. It'll take a while

check around some forums like WiiUiso, you might be able to find a prepatched USB ready version

Actually it's the - button. Pressing it switches A and B. At least that's what happens to me

Well, i did find it, it's what I'm downloading with mega. But it's a 13gb game, it's bound to be a slow download. The ideal would be a torrent

Couldnt you use SDCafiine to mod it without replacing files? Ive only modded Smash and Mario Kart but isnt the principle the same?

No idea what that is. The guide i used made me use an app called CDcrypt or something, but i couldn't figure out how to get it running through command prompt and the guy's instructions were kinda vague

I can't get vc games in it. I think I need a bigger sd card to do it

SDCafiines what you use to mod games, you put the mods on your SD Card and run SDCafiine before opening the game, unmodding is as simple as just not running it.

There are a couple third party games too
>Bayonetta 2
>Wonderful 101

Got the second one for kind of cheap when Target was going out of Canada

Have you used MegaDownloader? I think it let's you bypass the limit

I checked, but afaik apparently mega got wind of that and fixed it. I could try using a VPN tho

kinda meh, but who needs that when you can NATIVELY run GC and Wii games ?
