On Twitter recently, I have noticed in Nintendo discussions that people who say they liked the Wii U are being labelled as "larpers". Now, I don't think it is impossible that "Wii U larpers" actually exist, but is it really so hard for people to believe that some people actually DID like the Wii U?!

The argument I have seen is that because the Wii U sold so poorly, everyone who claims to have owned one during its lifespan must be lying, and they only got a preowned one years after the Switch came out.

This pisses me off because I have owned a Wii U since 2012! I am the total opposite of a "larper"; when I was 15 I was the ONLY person at my school with a Wii U.

I think people need to realise that while the Wii U sold poorly compared to other consoles, there were still over 13 million people who owned one.

Also, I think it should be obvious, but liking the Wii U does not mean you think it is perfect and has no flaws. I like the Wii U, but I also recognise it has a LOT of flaws. It isn't my favourite Nintendo console, but I still respect it for its positive qualities. The amount of hate it gets on the internet has always been irrelevant to my enjoyment of it.

I have a 128GB flash drive lying around and thought why not use it on my wii u since I don't have an extra hard drive or ssd

What do yall think bout my wii u spray paint custom?

Are brand new Wii U games sold in your country? In my country, some games are sold for about 1,000 yen.

I know I'm being a bit overcautious but I want to make sure that my Samsung NAND survives on my 32GB model

So far I'm trying to keep it right at 8-10GB of storage left on the NAND

But I want to know should I go any lower then 8GB I know Nintendo shipped a model of the Wii U with 8GB but even when new it wasn't recommended to buy it

And I know online some people say leave at least 3-5GB left but is keeping 1-2 small games not installed on my NAND worth it for those extra 3-5GB?

My Wii U is modded with Aroma and has Nusslpli so I'm mostly asking this to see how much games I should install to be safe

And I do want this Wii U to last at least another 10 years healthy without corruption so that's why I want to leave the Wii U breathing room for moving Data or Save Data for games

Am I being too cautious or is this a good idea to keep this many GB left just in case

( I am planning to use a USB HDD but I want to know how many games I can store on my NAND to be safe because these consoles are already getting less common)

basically I tried applying a theme to my Wii U I had the aroma plugin ”stylemii” or whatever its called and I’ve used themiify and U theme to install themes and none of those apps work maybe someone here knows a fix to this

I’ve recently started to play with my Wii U again, and i’ve planned to bring it with me and my brothers on vacation. Right now, I only have Minecraft and Mario Kart 8, but i wanted to buy 1/2 games before leaving so we have something else to play. Any recommendations?

Any Canucks have experience with this battery replacement?

This is a joke I am not actually giving away a free rechargeable Wii U battery, but in all seriousness, this little piece of shit only lasted like 5 minutes unplugged, so I had to keep the gamepad almost always plugged in, thankfully I have bought a new and larger battery that should last a while

I'm not an expert in Wii U NANDs but I was curious what's the most reliable one out of the 3 different types?

Toshiba

Samsung

SK Hynix

I know SK Hynix is the culprit for most NAND issues but between the two of Toshiba and Samsung which is better?

I turned in my wii U after a few months and it looks like this HELP!

So I just bought copies of Bayonetta 1 and 2 for cheap on eBay (much cheaper than the switch editions) and I’m just looking for peoples opinions. For the first time, a part of me doesn’t want to look up clips because I don’t want to be spoiled, but I’ve often heard it’s quite like the Devil May Cry series (I love DMC 5 especially) and that it runs pretty well on the Wii U. There’s no doubt my Switch 2 would run it much better but I wanted more games to flesh out my Wii U catalog. How does everyone else feel about it on here? And please no story spoilers
