OVERVIEW:
People often see this, and ask… “What am I looking at? What is this? What is the point?”

The Wii UE was an attempt to create a type of ‘in-house’ Wii U oriented NAS server of sorts. However, these capabilities never came to fruition. HOWEVER, included in this kiosk was wireless HDMI, and with 4 consoles on wheels, the ability to remotely stream to 4 television displays from one unit became possible.
(Think of this kiosk like a very complex wireless internet router but for video signals)

Ultimately, the prototype ‘known as Wii UE’ or ‘Wii U去’ (meaning Wii U’Go’ in Japan)… was a failed prototype that served as a learning experience.

Early 2026, the ‘Wii UE’ was reimagined into the “Wii Ue” (lowercase e naming) and reinvented the kiosk concept by putting the gamepad onto a tripod (known internally as DRC receivers).
+ this truly made the kiosk experience portable and ‘on the goal’ while feeling genuine.

Though this summer, I still craved for a true stationary kiosk experience so I branched off the project into what has become the Wiiosk U. Both the Wii Ue and Wiiosk U co-exist as of currently.
From here the project will be taken into two directions.

要するに、任天堂さん、私を訴えないでください。訴訟を起こしても何の得にもなりませんし、私はただ個人的な情熱を注いだプロジェクトとして、ささやかな冒険を楽しんでいるだけなのですから。

Hey all! This is my first time posting on this subreddit. I just wanted to hear what everyone’s thoughts were of Samsung Galaxy phones and having more customization over your device.

The only time I used Samsung was back in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 days, and those were during the days of Android Jelly Bean. I’ve only used Samsung for tablets and it’s been a long time since 2012. But I have fond memories.

When I look back at Samsung today the interfaces alone feel remarkably different. I’ve been thinking of moving away from iPhone entirely and trying out a Samsung Galaxy phone, but I have the feeling it’s not going to be the same like the Android / Samsung tablets I used as a young kid.

Please give me back feedback on your current day experiences or if you remember Android Jelly Bean.

Thank you and I look forward to what this subreddit has to say!

Sincerely, a long-time iPhone user.
