    I have a wii u but I never modded it since I was always too scared to do it. I have been thinking about modding it in the last couple of weeks though. I have modded my 3ds a few months ago and it is just amazing! I'm still a little scared about modding my wii u but I feel way more confident now
    Update: I finally modded my Wii U after like 5 months :) It worked without any problems and I am kinda proud of myself ngl
    But also thank you to everyone that encouraged me to mod my Wii U :)

      I had this same problem, but modding the wii u pays off very much. backing up the wii u to avoid bricking is a part of the homebrew installation process, and installation is just moving files onto an SD card of your choice and hitting the A button on the gamepad. If you feel on edge, you should do it.

    • @picklesoncucumber4614
      @picklesoncucumber4614 Před 7 měsíci +5

      Same here, but it was actually really easy! People always warn you of Bricks but they're pretty rare actually. Especially if you do everything like you are supposed to be doing it.
      Start with Tiramisu and if you feel comfortable, switch to Aroma. It has way more capabilities

    It’s too bad the Wii U homebrew community isn’t very big. It seems like the perfect device for homebrew and emulation. I really hope more crazy bullshit comes out for this console like the 3ds and Wii. Rn it looks like the only big project in the works is pretendo really.

    There are other homebrew ports to Wii U like Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time 3D. Also, Nintendont is compatible with many control options including the gamecube adapter.
    Another noteworthy Wii U homebrew is Bloopair which allows you to connect other controllers to the Wii U.
    Last but not least: the advantage of Wii "Wii U home screen installs" over the vWii is that the installed wii apps can use the gamepad as "pro controller". The vWii needs a wii mote to be used.

    For any wanting to play StarFox Zero listen carefully, don't play the main story first. Go to training mode and spend about two hours learning the controls, because the motion controls are kinda complicated. There's a minus button that swap screens and you have the ability to turn the motion controls on or off in the pause menu. It's easier to shoot everyone in first person mode, where as all ranged mode is easier for avoiding enemies.

    I modded my Wii U a couple months ago and recently got the VC injector to play GameCube games. Of course I also have Nintendont. That's one downside to the Wii U. It should have had GameCube games for the Wii U Virtual Console and all the more reason because it had the controller adapter which unfortunately was only compatible with Smash 4.

I don't own a computer and a 32 or 128GB SD card, or even a Flash Drive (even though I have one, but I mostly use it for PS2 Free McBoot. 😅), or a HDD external hard drive (also have that too, but I use it for my PS5 to stores some more PS4 games 😂). 🙃

    The Wii and Wii U do NOT go for "about the same price." You can find a working Wii dirt cheap. You can't even get the Wii U tablet that cheap. Also if you get a quality Wii2HDMI adapter (like the Mayflash) or use the Nintendo OEM component cables, the Wii and GameCube games will look BETTER than via vWii on your HDMI Wii U. Don't even argue that point. It's been proven many times over, including here on CZcams. Only mess with a Wii U if you also want to play Wii U games. All six remaining exclusives that is. And only if you don't want to run them on CEMU.
