damn.. another reason to load it up again
I bought EVERY Nintendo Wii U & 3DS game before the Nintendo eShop closes
There's still a few games I want to buy, I was hoping Nintendo would discount some VC games at least before the end. But this is Nintendo, some of the games have never had a discount, so they're hardly going to start now with just a week left before the Wii U and 3DS eShops close permanently for new purchases.
Would you ever consider hacking it, or is that not your thing slig?
Once the shop shuts I don't think there are any moral grounds at all to stop you obtaining the game you want by other means. Not depriving anyone of money when there's no way of giving it to them.
He bought Every. Single. Game. And he has enough time to 100% games, because he's the completionist.
How many real lives could he have saved with that money. And could be spend his time doing something useful ? Like create a game or become a doctor or a musician. And there a load of similar channels on YouTube.
It really is a mad ******* world. 😁
Edit ...
The people who make these videos make more money than the people making the games.
It's bizarre.
Definitely, we are living in a simulation.
No, I've never hacked any of my Nintendo hardware. Not even the NES and SNES Mini Classics.
Missed out on playing Batman on the NES Classic? That's the only reason to own one 🤣
This Thursday is the last chance for companies to do discounts on their games. 50%(or whatever number) of something, is better nothing of nothing. I don't expect Nintendo to partake though.
The thing is, I have almost everything worth getting regarding 3rd party and Indies. I'll buy Armillo, it's a game I forgot about and maybe some VC games. There's Pullblox World, but I don't know if I want to pay €10 for it at this stage. It only ever once had a sale where it was €6.
The last hours of the Wii U and 3DS eShops are upon us. I bought Metroid: Zero Mission, Pullblox World, Armillo and Mr Pumpkin Adventure.
Reading a Reddit thread just there reminded me that I purchased a Humble Bundle years ago, I can't remember what was in it or where those codes are. I think there was a Darksiders game as part of it. That might have been the only game I redeemed from it.
Forgot all about my humble bundle purchase! Some decent games there
Ugh I found my codes didn't redeem some and now the shop is saying you can't (I mean I shouldn't have left it till now 😂)
Slightly better than me, where I initially gave a bunch of the codes away and then later bought them at full price because of course I **** did.
I didn't bother go looking for mine after reading something earlier. It would take forever anyway trawling through my e-mail.
Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Redemption Deadlines

"As detailed by Nintendo in their Wii U & Nintendo 3DS eShop Discontinuation article, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS titles will no longer be available for purchase after March 31, 2022. Additionally, you have until March 31, 2022, to redeem any Wii U or Nintendo 3DS keys before they become invalid. Please note this also affects Bundle purchases."
Vodafone recently sent me out their new Gigabox modem and I cannot get the WiiU to connect to it. The young lad is not impressed.
it appears to have 2.4ghz enabled but it’s hard to tell as the vodafone firmware is pretty poor. Has anyone had this issue and figured it out? If not, any recommendations for a LAN adapter that works with WiiU?
Could be a few things. Check the wireless security, WPA/WPA2 should be fine. Wii U might not support newer WPA3.
Also if there is a setting for encryption, this should be AES (and not TKIP) I believe.
Lastly, the protocol mode. You can have 2.4Ghz broadcast using 802.11b/g/n or a combination. If it’s set to n only that might be a problem - it was for 3DS but not sure about Wii U.
I used my Wii U recently on a 2.4Ghz 802.11g/n AES network and it worked fine.
I got it working in the end - the new VF router has very restricted settings and does not allow you to split wifi. I found away around it by downloading an old version of the app for the router.
Good news for that one guy still using a Wii U
Wii U LIVES! Online Play Restored for Mario Kart 8 & Splatoon!
Online play is back for these titles after a 5 month absence.
MK8 is still getting plenty of play in my house. Might buy Splatoon!
It'll be a sad day. Also, Switch 2? It'll probably be announced sometime around that date.
I was playing Splatoon earlier. No shortage of players whatsoever.
Unfortunately, I can't find my copy of Mario Kart 8, it's been missing for some time. I think I might have mistakenly thrown it out.
I put on Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on as well. There were people online there as well.
But the game I played most online this evening was Call of Duty: Black Ops II. I played team death match, again, plenty of players, though it did drop off as time went on.
I hadn't played my Wii U in ages, though I still use it regularly for its web browser. So I encountered some errors when trying to start up some of the games. I think it's due to failing eMMC chips.
I found a workaround by deleting the updates, but copying my save data over to my SSD, then redownloading the update to there.
The servers for COD: Black Ops II were still working after everything was supposed to be shut. I might try it again tomorrow to see what it's like.
That game was terrific on Wii U. The online was flawless, no crappy phone app for voice chat, just used the gamepad or headset. You could have 2 people play online with the one Wii U, each with their own screen. And this evening when I wanted to use the TV to watch some programmes, I just switched the action to the gamepad as the screen, used the Wii U pro controller and did both.
The Wii U had a tonne of potential that largely went untapped by the majority of developers. Wii U got 2 Call of Duty games and here we are a decade later and Switch has none.
I'm amazed you need to add the _EIRE, are there more players named SLIGEACH ? ;)
Yeah 160-0103, unfortunately that's not good news. Anyone interested in a bit of a read, I documented how I fixed my launch model Wii U with the same error here -
Delighted to hear this...
always good to include a summary of the contents of the video for those of us not in a position to play the audio or watch a video
Yeah fair point, my bad. The author is working on a way to replace the Wii U Gamepad with an Android phone/app. When paired with a phone and a controller add on, it'll be seemless. Obvious benefit will be the fact the Wii U is essentially a brick without one, and Nintendo have made buying them individually impossible.
Interesting, my Wii U and gamepad are essentially mint.. the battery in the gamepad is still good too. Wonder will there be a market for these in a few years assuming the battery remains good?
Have they stopped selling the replacement batteries?
Was actually going to look into how they handle the gamepad functions for the Wii U emulator on pc and if could connect a tablet.
I think Nintendo may have stopped selling them. You can get 3rd party ones I assume, but god knows what type of quality they'd be.
You can't pair a real Wii U pad for use with Cemu etc, due to the custom WiFi method the Gamepad uses...but a tablet may possibly work?
Are you supposed to charge the batteries in WiiU and 3DS/2DS to a certain percentage full regularly to make them last longer ? I keep meaning to do this but never do. Must play a game now and then on them to keep em going.
DS/3DS batteries seemingly hold their charge to the point that if you charged today and it was turned on 3 centuries from now, you would have a fully charged console. 😀
For Wii U gamepad, I pretty much need to have it plugged in anytime I play.
