AFAIK the current hack to jailbreak the WiiU requires the use of an eShop title like BrainAge (Funny enough when you sorry but top selling, BrainAge is at the top). So if you don't buy and download before the 27th it will be impossible to pirate on genuine hardware until a new exploit is found.

One of the things I don’t understand with switch online legacy games from a long term standpoint. When you put so much hours into a game like an rpg and then one or maybe 2 Nintendo console generations later and then they pull the plug on it. What happens to your save? If it’s in the system or in the cloud it’s useless because the game from the service is gone.

I've recently got back into playing PS3 and the PSN store basically has dick all for games as it is. If you want something like 3D Dot Game Heroes you can only get a physical copy of it, there exists no digital version. And a physical version usually goes for 100+ Canadian, luckily just scored a copy for $60. This goes for A LOT of games on that generation. I can only recommend going out now and picking up games such as MGS4 for $5 instead of a few months or a year when I feel it will shoot up in price 10 fold with this video game boom.

The best way to play many of these games in my experience is on Cemu emulator where you can force better AA and higher resolution shadows and even draw distances in Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The Wii U port of Deus Ex Human Revolution, touted as a then console exlcusive Director's Cut, has by far my most favorite implementation of the second screen. Even with the subsequent ports to other consoles and PC, it still feels a tad fresh and more immersive with the second screen functionality for on-the-fly inventory management. (They tried to pull it off on PC using some weird proprietary Intel drivers and a smart phone app, but results aren't as good or reliable as the Wii U's Gamepad.) My favorite features that simply wouldn't be replicated anywhere is that it implemented a player hint system similar to Dark Souls that actually utilized MiiVerse posts, and off-TV play made full use of touch screen functionality by mapping macro shortcuts within the screen itself!
@ThePreciseClimber

Despite being ported to PC and other platforms, nothing can compare to the experience of ZombiU on Wii U. One of the finest survival horror experiences possible, really disappointed by how many people never even bothered to give it a chance. The gamepad integration was some of the best on the console and completely transformed the experience.

The multiplayer in that game was seriously underrated as well. Having the gamepad player direct zombies a la a top down strategy game while the TV player shoots them in regular first person shooter mode was a genius multiplayer concept, something we probably won't see again.

Sad not to see StarFox Zero. I genuinely loved that game and played it to death. Yes I think It needed a bit more content, but once you got the hang of the strange dual screen system it played well and enjoyably...The trick being you really don't need to look down at the game pad half as much as you initially think.

Fun fact: I'm pretty sure most of the textures in Wind Waker HD are the original Gamecube textures with the game applying a filter at runtime to smooth them out. The Wind Waker install on Wii U is barely bigger than the Gamecube disc was (whereas Twilight Princess HD is significantly larger, as I recall).

I think NINTENDO made decisions internally from the beginning to only remake/remaster certain games from their library for the SWITCH. On the next SWITCH-2 they may produce remasters of the other games which happen to be the most popular. Or release them at the end of the system and final releases.

Devil's Third was a great game. I wish it would have sticked to XBOX 360, instead of switching to Wii U. It would have been compatible with XBOX Series X. Wii U is one of the weirdest consoles of all time. The CPU was basically a Tri-Core Gamecube (with higher clocks and cache) and the GPU was the XBOX 360 Xenos GPU ported to PC and ported back to Wii U. Not to mention the legacy hardware for Wii compatibility. My biggest complains were: - Awful floating point performance (again, obsolete CPU). - Cafe OS stupidly taking 1GB of 2 available GBs on the MEM2 block. - Most awful upscaler ever seen on any console (the one that upscales vWii). - Amazingly sluggish UI. It is, BY FAR, the slowest console of all time to get to the menu, with tons of fadings, logos and "please, wait" screens. Wii was much faster. - Broken standars every-fucking-where: Gamepad wifi, yeah, it's not the actual Wifi. Bluray, yeah, not that bluray. DVD, again, not that DVD. For some reason, bluetooth is the real thing.

@smartfox2295
Жыл бұрын
@@leonro My WiiU is actually modded and I made a backup of the NAND. That being its not certain that only consoles that are unplugged for long period of time are affected by this issue. The main problem is that any kind of Flash storage needs to refreshed over time, flash storage saves data in its cells through an electric charge and powered on and or read cycles to it might not be good enough. Write Cycles intrudes higher voltages to the flash cells that could result in a higher data retention time. edit: And before anyone misunderstands what i'm talking about, write cycles of course degrade flash memory over time, there is a finite number of times you can write to flash and it also will degrade the maximum data retention over time, that being said its defiantly possible to increase the overall storage time if a flash storage is overwritten some times with a backup. Just don't do it to often this is by the way true for every flash based storage. While this is specific about the WiiU I urge everyone that might have important data on an SD card, a USB stick or similar device to check it and make at least a backup to a separate storage device.
