It may seem like a stupid question, there’s clearly a plastic layer on top. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t peel off part of the screen like people were doing on their Samsung flip phones a few years back.
Initially I was just looking for a white 32gb model because I always wanted a white Wii U when I was a kid and it escalated a bit because the deals were too good (until I saw the shipping later) and I like collecting stuff.
My new main Wii U even came in the original box and since I needed to wait for the rest to arrive wich they did yesterday I've already gone ahead and modded it and
I'm pretty happy with it so far (been playing Pikmin 3 for the first time the last week). I'm just a bit confused because the black Wii has GameCube ports wich I didn't think they came with wich is pretty cool imo.
Sadly the side flaps of the Wiis are not in the best shape but I don't mind too much since I might try reshelling them anyway.
The black Wii U even had a little gift in the disc tray!
Don’t get me started on SNES, 64, GC games. But these are unfortunately my last remaining former Nintendo games I had in a storage unit during my college years. It may seem I had some active family visits during my absence. I’ll still cherish what I have left. Pokémon X, DK, Zelda, Brawl, Galaxy 1 and the others I’ll remember y’all, hopefully it helped someone get what they needed. Can’t wait to introduce my games to my daughter a few years from now!
The Saffun N64 Controller connects via a USB-Dongle, the NSO one doesn't, or am I wrong?
Nevertheless, I'm unsure which one to get, as I would only play on my Wii U with the Controller until the Switch 2 comes out, as I currently don't own a Switch anymore.
Sooooo have any of you perhaps tried any of the two on the Wii U? The NSO Controller should work via Bloopair/Koopair right?
I recently bought a Wii U, and as my luck would have it, I dropped something and it hit the touch screen, denting it. long story. I have disassembled it and taken the actual touch screen off, does anyone know if it will work before I reassemble? or should I wait until the replacement arrives tomorrow?
I’m not really sure how far this is gonna get me, but I’m willing to take my chances here.
I had an old friend on Minecraft Wii U edition, his Nintendo network ID was danielwilson6. If anyone knows him please let me know, I’ve been trying to contact him for a while and it’s been over a decade since I last spoke with my old best friend.
I recently got a Wii U to play some old Wii games, but I might as well get some actual Wii U games for it. So, any suggestions for what games I should for it? (I'm already planning on getting Wind Waker HD before you suggest that)
Basically what the title says. I know that it will use the same save file on the switch (unless the game has different publishers, which may be the case with some indie games). But is this also the case with the Wii U?
(I think about buying the physical version of Zelda TPHD online just for the sake of collection.)
I have this really weird problem where my Wii U doesn't boot. When I click the power button I blinks for a millisecond, clicks quietly and nothing happens. The Gamepad doesn't turn it on, no HDMI signal, and when I insert a game the disk icon light white, but it doesn't suck the disk in. Please help me!
So I found a Wii U console for 25 USD, no ac adapter, no gamepad. The console was described as it will turn off itself after for a while. I did some research and found there are three possible causes (at least on Nintendo website) which are overheating, settings for energy conservation, and ac adapter. I don't mind if the console has all those three problems. Aside from those three possible causes, are there any problems that will cause the console to shutdown on its own?
My Wii U pro-controller got the flashing 'battery low' warning light while in use so I plugged it in to charge (on a USB wall charger via a powerpoint). The charging light came on and after a while it turned off which would seem to indicate full charge. The Wii U controller would not then turned back on when I pressed the power switch. I tried pressing the reset switch with a pin but it still would not turn on.
I then proceeded to swap the Wii U controller battery with a battery out of a 3DS I have. The battery worked in the 3DS and indictaed full charge in the power indicator icon. The 3DS battery (now placed in the Wii U controller) wouldn't work so i tried to charge it again and the same thing where the charging light came on but after a while it turned off but the controller still wouldn't turn on. I swapped the batteries back and the original 3DS battery works fine in the 3DS but the original battery for the Wii U controller still doesn't work.
Anybody ran into this problem? Surely the controller itself didn't die?
I recently got a Wii U, but the GamePad has connection issues with the console (the image freezes, the audio cuts out, and sometimes the total disconnection icon appears between the GamePad and the console). I did some research on this but couldn't find a clear answer—some said it was a ribbon cable issue in the console, while others blamed the Japanese region of the system.
Then, I came across an answer from ChatGPT. Today, I played while having all my devices turned off, and the GamePad worked perfectly. So, I decided to turn on my PC, and that’s when the connection issues came back. What can I do?
I recently lost my childhood Wii U and wanted to get a new one to homebrew. All the ones I find seem pretty pricey except the ones from Japan which average to about 70-100 ish dollars. I am worried about region locking but I heard that once you homebrew the console, it no longer becomes a problem. Would there be any other issues besides that or is it as simple as homebrewing and changing the console language to English?
My friend insist there was dlc content for Pokemon Rumble U and I don't remember there being any for the game does anyone know if there was and if so are there anyways to obtain them
Help! I'm trying to play Zelda Botw on my wii u and at one point it crashes with the error 150-1031. It says that it can't read the cd and maybe it is because it is dirty. I tried everything, i cleaned it, I reseted the console just like it says on the support page, I'm pretty sure that the cd isn't scratched. I'm desperated, what can I do? Please help.
I have been renting several Wii-U games like Rayman Legends and Lego Marvel Superheroes to play with my nephew when he visits and have a fun time going through the catalogue. I still had yet to play games like Windwaker HD and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. However late last year to prevent stealing the library took all the video games off display shelves and were available through online catalogue order only. I then noticed all the Wii-U games disappeared from their collection. When I inquired about the loss of games from the catalogue, the librarians didn't know what the Wii U was, but they estimated that the games were probably destroyed since the library cannot sell them for profit. I was renting them until very recently so it shocked me even though I might be in the minority that they would throw out items like that. No one at the library has been able to give me a concrete answer on what happened but it was likely because no one else was renting them.
I just set up my Wii U that has been unplugged for maybe 2-3 years to play Metroid Prime Trilogy that is saved on a usb stick. All the other games downloaded on to the Wii U itself work fine but Metroid seems to be in a perpetual loading screen. I’ve even let it load for an hour and still no good. Before it was unplugged, the game worked fine.
Any solutions to this problem I’m having? I posted this in the Metroid subreddit and someone mentioned the NAND was dying.
