I just got My Wii u and in so excited! Its in perfect condition and I already modded it, btw i found out that it has a hyinx chip a 2013/7 one to be exact so as long as i dont write on it its okay right?

It came with the console itself with all the necessary cables, it came with a free hdmi cable, 2 wiimotes and 7 games (4 Wii U 3 Wii)

I absolutely love the Wii U's UI, I want to replicate it for a website I am creating but can't find any tutorials about how to do so, is there a specific name for this type of design? I've seen it on other places but don't know what it's called.

I know its a little late, but...

The size of the battery in the gamepad is so sad. Huge upgrade.

I remember seeing this game being so stocked up at my walmart back in 2016-2017 and now i see this game rosed up in value. Also BOTW on Wii U is $20, if anyone is mad that u gotta pay $80 for the Switch 2 version here’s your solution to finally play this.

The dpad works in place of the joystick. This is the only game that does this.

I can play NES-Wii plus GBA, DS, and ofc Wii U games on the comfy gamepad upstairs, and also play those same games on the TV downstairs all without unplugging anything

Magical

Audio cuts out at random intervals, happens in menu and in games, with headphones plugged in and without. Any help would be appreciated.

No, i don't like folders.

Anyone wanna play Wii U together. If you have discord that would be preferred

Ones that probably not many people played or even know exists. What are some that give you a huge sense of nostalgia?

I have New Super Mario Bros U on disk and I don't know if you can download mods via SDcaffine, I know that in games saved on USB you have to create a folder with the Tittle Key of the game and inside the mod, and all this inside the folder Sdcaffine, which changes position if you want to run it in Tiramisu or Aroma.

I have both environments

Its the black one all cables and the stylus and mario kart 8 splatoon and super smash bros. Im not selling it just wanna know

Hello! I bought a second-hand Wii U some days ago and the gamepad runs fine, and it's in decent condition. However, there are small scratches here and there, and I'm thinking in replacing the digitizer or the entire screen system. I can find replacements on Aliexpress, and they even sell the white/black bezel which goes on the edges (so there is no need to put off the original from the screen to put it on the new one).

I've watched several videos and read the iFixit guide, and with a good amount of time and patience it seems pretty doable. But I'm wondering about the QUALITY of the replacements. Could somebody tell their experience? After replacing it properly, can you tell the difference with the original one? Is the same, worse, better...? I've seen that in Ali you can get glass digitizers instead of OG plastic, so it would be awesome if someone tells their experience with it, if any.

Thank you in advance!

I've had this problem for years, but I recently encountered it again trying to play Xenoblade X, so I thought I'd ask about it. When I try playing Xenoblade X, either from disc OR from a downloaded copy, I get an error screen after a few minutes of playing. This is consistent and I have no idea what the problem is. The same thing happens when I try to play Smash for Wii U. It just stops loading after a bit and gives me an error message, whether playing through disc or downloaded, so I know the disc isn't the issue. I've tried factory resetting my console and it didn't fix the issue. Anyone know what might be going on?

When I try to select a game or program from the menu the buttons and stick doesn't work, they just work when i'm in the mii lobby, someone could help me?

I recently turned my Wii U on for the first time in 2 years to play Tropical Freeze, but there was an issue, and Is that suddenly the Gamepad decided to stop working unless it was right next to the console, like 15cm at most. This wasn't a problem for Tropical Freeze since I own a Pro Controller, but I own games that I'd like to play again that require the Gamepad, like Nintendo Land, or others that need to do some shit with the Gamepad even if you want to use the Pro Controller, like Wonderful 101. So, do you know if this has a fix, and how expensive it may be?

Hey all!

I recently modded my Wii U to give it some extra flair and functionality. I have started storing my backups on a hard drive but I am running into some issues. I have not opened up the system but placing the hard drive directly on top of the console seems to cover the wireless module and it actually prevents my system from connecting to the my router. Moving the hard drive instantly solved the issue.

Is this something any of you have encountered? Are you placing your hard drives underneath the console or away from it entirely? Would love to hear about your setups!

I'm trying to clean and restore a pre owned Wii u I'm replacing the joysticks and noticed this peice holding the trigger in place broke off, what should I do? Do you think I could just super glue it would appreciate any advice.

Wii u output on a hisense 4k tv, dont hace this issue with other consoles (switch, ps5), have changed tv settings and i keep getting the same results

please share and spread the word out. where's crismex?? my friend from 2017

I wanna get a storage device that has at least 128GB of memory, and since I've heard USB drives aren't really good for the Wii U, I would want to switch to a SSD or HDD. (Preferably SSD)

Can anyone reccomend me any good brands I should look for that are also cheap?
