r/wiiu

Sorry, I just, I gotta ask lmao, I assume ppl here might be more knowledgeable and I can't find a direct answer online thanks to google sucking now.

I just hooked up my WiiU after years of not touching it.

I heard the WiiU can be played online still, I cannot homebrew my console​ sadly as the SD card reader doesn't work, do I need to homebrew it to go online?

And

Are the WiiU discs more prone to rotting??? All my disks even if I barely ever used them are rotting with the only exception being Splatoon somehow, yet my ps1, ps2, ps3, gamecube, wii games are all fine lmao, I'm genuinely confused cause I haven't touched them, while all my other games read I guess my Mario Maker copy is dead, it doesn't go past the loading screen and I need to hard reset the whole console as it remains on the yellow screen 20+ mins and gome menu button doesn't respond.

WiiU that comes with lots of Wii and WiiU games. Its also softmodded (I guess that’s how you say it. It is a huge symbol of my childhood.

-8Gb white Wii U
-The console works fine. No scratches, no hardware issues. However, it might rarely crash right after exiting a game through Home Menu (principally Minecraft). A forced reboot can solve it with no problem, you won’t have issues during gameplay.
-It was purchased in Portugal 🇵🇹 11 years ago bundled with Wii Party U, Nintendo Land, and a Wii Remote Controller (tho Im not sure, it was an anniversary gift). If I am not mistaken, its a PAL version.
-It comes with every single cable and charger that a packaged WiiU should come with + the Wii controller comes with a Nunchuck and a support for Gamepad (a black plastic support)
-The console has the necessary modded files on a 16GB SD card, and the games are installed on a 32GB pen drive
-it has Nusspli, Pretendo to play discontinued online games, customised wallpaper, and VWii has the original Wii’s hardware settings menu
-Im gonna sell it in Portugal from OLX (probably)

Now for the games list:

WiiU games (physical) :
-Splatoon
-Super Mario Maker (it comes with an art book)
-Mario Kart 8
-Super Mario 3D World
-Paper Mario Color Splash
-Super Smash Bros. 4
-Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush
-Yoshi’s Wooly World
-Wii Party U
-Nintendo Land
-Sonic Racing All-Stars Transformed

Wii games:
-Just Dance 2018
-Sonic Unleashed
-Sonic Colours
-New Super Mario Bros Wii
-Super Mario Galaxy
-Mario Kart Wii

All the games are PAL version

WiiU is a console that made me enjoy gaming in a way that any other won’t ever do. I still love playing videogames, and I spent hours playing on it. Now I became an adult, and I think other people might need it more than I do. Its complicated, but that’s part of growing up. (Use PS5 currently).
Not that I don’t enjoy the WiiU anymore, but I have completed every single physical game I have (Completed all Mario Kart Tracks with perfect score, I beated Mario 3D World 100% twice…)
I found the idea of reviving Miiverse fun (since I never used it before, I was too young for that), but guess what? Its 2026. They all type like its TikTok/Twitter, which is not cool at all.

Since Iwata passed away, new Nintendo consoles lost its soul if we talk about OS innovation and soundtracks. The same can’t be applied to 1st party games and 3rd party compatibility. Switch rocks with that, and game library is more worthwhile than charming menus (Eshop has had shutdown anyway, no more background music while looking for Demos 😢)

Im not selling it here, I know it is not allowed. Im just asking if it is a good idea.
And about the bundle price… lets say it is financially more valuable than a new Switch OLED.

Not sure what I’ll do with the money, but I could use it to get the Switch 2 (I broke my previous Switch V1, so I will have plenty of games to entertain myself and my brother for a long time anywhere I want).

I would appreciate your help guys!
As a Nintendo Wii U lover, I really need assistance to make this decision.

Hi! I recently had my Wii U modded. The shop told me I need to connect it to the Internet to download games through this app. Is it safe to connect online, or could it corrupt the mod? If there’s any risk, how can I prevent it?

I know they're very different things, but both are meant to protect your GAMEPAD. If I were to give you one of the two, which one would you choose? Let me know.

What now? I don't wanna order another replacement set and face the same issue. I was thinking of using Xbox One stick replacements but they seem to have the same issues.

I'm also posting the anolog stick itself, because I've seen in online photos that anolog stick replacements seem to have a little sheath of sorts on em.

Hi, yesterday i started having a problem with charging my gamepad. The gamepad only charges when its off and it only charges to 2 bars. When i try to charge it when its on the charging icon blink between not charging and charging but it almost doesnt charge. Does anyone know if the problem come from the charger or the gamepad?

I got star fox zero but I just get an error when I try to launch it

Wii pointer handles the aiming, used a program called glovepie to essentially turn wiimote buttons into binds, the B button is for left clicking, A for rmb, dpad for switching nunchuk for walking and some other shit I forgot to mention

Got the official rapid charging brand new set for my Wii remote and didn't use it for a month... I've heard it's a bad idea to let the battery charging so I didn't put in the remote... But now there is no more juice in the battery but it won't charge anymore...

What should I do?

Honestly for me it is the Super Mario Mash-Up pack, altough its only exclusive for Wii U and Switch, it haves many Super Mario locations on the overworld and nether, haves many secret pipes, castles and many other secrets, it haves also incredible Mario themed textures and has more than 40 skins based on the Mario characters plus it haves all the Super Mario 64 soundtrack!!! This is my favorite Mash-Up but for you guys, whats your most favorite and nostalgic Mash-Up pack of Legacy Console Edition???
