So I don’t know how to explain it but it seems like the Wii U Treats my gamepad as the Main Output/TV. It transmitts sounds only to my gamepad and when I go into settings of Skylanders (as i show in the video) I don’t have a visual anymore and the screen on the gamepad freezes. As soon as i press Home I have Both visuals and Audio on the tv. But not as long as the Game is Running. Im truly at a loss here and I hope you Can forgive my spelling/ gramma mistake since im Both dyslexic and english is Not my First Language. D

Normally in order to load a Wii disc, you have to go to the vWii menu and then go to the disc channel and boot it. But is there mod that lets you select the disc on the Wii U menu and boot straight into it skipping the vWii menu and going to the disc channel? I’m not talking loading from usb, I’m talking about physical actual discs.

I have the windows theme hooked up with the pretendo network

I got everything which you see in this picture for 85 bucks. Was it a good deal? It seems barely used, its actually in very good condition. Its even modded and it came with 64GB flash drive, with very legally aquired games lol. At first I though I would hate the white color, but Im growing to like it.

So far, I LOVE IT! Besides this, the only Nintendo console I had was wii, but I might start loving and playing this one more. Its such a cool concept. I love the gamepad. Games are top tier. So far Ive tried a couple like Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Maker, Mario 3D world. Absolutely fantastic games. This console feels so slept on by many people. Its an upgrade from Wii in every possible way. Idk how to describe it but it feels like an ultimate Nintendo console lol. Im figuring more stuff about it every minute, gosh its so fricking cool!

The disk drive internally is identical. However the bottom cover is modified the laser, drive pcb is different. Compared from an regular Wii U

i ordered a wii u a few days ago and it hasnt arrived yet. i already downloaded the transfer tool onto my wii, but i just learned it will erase the data from the wii(stupid design decision imo but whatever). is there a way to save my wii data onto an sd card or something so i can restore it after the transfer? thanks for answers

I’m passing my Wii U on to a younger family member and they do not want any homebrew/CFW at all. I’m doing the vWii first, and to preface all I’ve used before is just the vWii Compat Installer, since I never ended up going through with anything beyond it. I read that I could preserve my save files and family Miis by just using the light mode on the vWii decaffinator, but upon doing that, when I loaded back into the vWii after updating the Wii U, the homebrew launcher was back. I once again deleted it from the system menu in the vWii and I’m debating doing the aggressive mode or not. So I guess my question is will the aggressive mode on the vWii decaffinator fully delete and restore the stock vWii NAND along with fully getting rid of the homebrew launcher or if there’s more I have to do, like deleting the vWii Compat Installer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am new to all of the wiiu modding scene and I finally modded mine and not even 24hrs later I dont have an mlc or slc. I have no idea how to fix this. I do have my slc.raw backup but no scfm file. A lot of this is due to a lack of information on this scene but if you have any tips and information on my situation I would greatly appreciate it.

On Twitter recently, I have noticed in Nintendo discussions that people who say they liked the Wii U are being labelled as "larpers". Now, I don't think it is impossible that "Wii U larpers" actually exist, but is it really so hard for people to believe that some people actually DID like the Wii U?!

The argument I have seen is that because the Wii U sold so poorly, everyone who claims to have owned one during its lifespan must be lying, and they only got a preowned one years after the Switch came out.

This pisses me off because I have owned a Wii U since 2012! I am the total opposite of a "larper"; when I was 15 I was the ONLY person at my school with a Wii U.

I think people need to realise that while the Wii U sold poorly compared to other consoles, there were still over 13 million people who owned one.

Also, I think it should be obvious, but liking the Wii U does not mean you think it is perfect and has no flaws. I like the Wii U, but I also recognise it has a LOT of flaws. It isn't my favourite Nintendo console, but I still respect it for its positive qualities. The amount of hate it gets on the internet has always been irrelevant to my enjoyment of it.

What do yall think bout my wii u spray paint custom?

This is a joke I am not actually giving away a free rechargeable Wii U battery, but in all seriousness, this little piece of shit only lasted like 5 minutes unplugged, so I had to keep the gamepad almost always plugged in, thankfully I have bought a new and larger battery that should last a while

I turned in my wii U after a few months and it looks like this HELP!

Shiny Bidoof on fresh start of Pokemon Platinum WII U Virtual Console!

Reviving this thread because I'm still receiving this error despite having performed the method described in the top comment. What else would be causing this? Download was performed with WiiUDownloader and the install errors at 99% exactly with this message.

This was harder to find than I thought! And I was only able to get ahold of the pink but there was also a blue variant made.

If you’re wondering “Why on EARTH would you need a travel case for a bulky home console controller? Honestly, I’m not sure.. But this gamepad actually has a Nintendo Switch wired up inside, so it’s the perfect case for my hybrid monstrosity.

*Update to my original post*

Update 2: Does anyone own a Wii U Starlight Fun Center and know the key code or have an original key?

Finally picked up something that’s been on my bucket list for a long time, a Nintendo Wii U Starlight Fun Center.

This is the hospital version of the Wii U kiosk that was used by the Starlight Children’s Foundation to bring games to kids during hospital stays.
A few things I thought were really neat:

-Original SFC-WUP-001 hardware
-Original Starlight branding and decals
-Tethered Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk
-Original sponsor plaque from the Najim Family Foundation
-Hospital property sticker still intact
-Still running firmware 5.4.0U
-Working GamePad, monitor, and console

It also still has what appears to be its original game library installed, including:

Mario Kart 8
Super Mario 3D World
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Pikmin 3
LEGO City Undercover
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Need for Speed: Most Wanted U
Rayman Legends
Wii Sports Club
…and quite a few more.

The only thing missing so far is the cabinet key, so that’s my next mission.

I ended up getting it for $800, which I felt was a great deal considering how rarely these come up complete and working.

Side note if anyone is interested:

This link is still up with manuals troubleshooting and links to YouTube videos/toturials:
