Why is it called a Wii U? Because you turn 360 degrees and then U die of disappointment.

>>384338640
360mdegrees is a circle idiot

>Update.
>They are going to kill miiverse in a near future, maybe this year.
>Also the browser hax doesn't work anymore, so you have to choose between be able to play online games or be able to use the wiiu as the best emulation machine ever.

Why does Nintendo hates so much the Wii U? They gave all the love to 3DS and now they are porting the games to Switch.

By the way if you updated and still rely on browserhax, you're fucked.

>>384338570
>>384338595
It's a great emulation machine, and the Switch isn't getting all of the good titles on it.

Why the update?

>>384338913
Officialy, because they are going to shut down miiverse in the future. They also fucked the pirates that use the Wii U by disabling an important exploit in the web browser.

What's the tl;dr on this new Wii U update? Am I safe if I installed Haxchi? Can you still play games online?

>when you realise you were just a beta tester for the Switch

I feel so abused

>>384338570
>>384338595
it is still a great console. natively runs wii, wii u, and gamecube games, and has really decent virtual console for injecting
wii u library is the only decent one this gen, xbone and ps4 libraries are awful and switch hasnt had enough time to build a good library
>>384338910
im still on 5.5.1, what should i do to be able to not have to use browserhax? i dont have a ds game from eshop (and now cant get one) so i cant use haxchi

So no more Smash 4 hacks?

Most people will probably bitch about this only because it could kill piracy, but I'm only pissed off that the Smash 4 modding community might die with it.

>implying I'll ever update
nope, fuck that shit. You're lucky I even use your damn system for emulation in the first place. Glad I'm not a smashfag though, this hurts them the most

>>384339085
>Am I safe if I installed Haxchi? Can you still play games online?
yes and yes, they just removed the browser exploit

Oh great, now i won't be able to get DLC's for my BotW unless i want Loadiine get cucked.

>>384339224
So you only bought MArio Kart, Pokken, and BotW? Damn son, I had like 15 great games for the thing and it easily got more use than my PS4 and Vita.

>>384338770
In this scenario it doesn't matter. Death can happen at any angle

>>384340172
>it easily got more use than my PS4 and Vita.
That says more about your incredibly shit taste, than the actualy value of the system.

>>384338429
Updated.
Hackers will get around this update in no time anyway. Very sad about the Miiverse shutting down.

>>384339286
So the selling point of the console is that it can run the games of the older, better consoles

>>384338845
>best emulation machine ever.
Wii U =/= PC

What's the update blocking DNS again?

>>384340315
Not really, since my taste is far above anyone's on this trash board. The PS4 has maybe 6 games worth a shit. The WiiU was fucking loaded with them.

>>384340421
nah, because the console itself has the greatest library of any current gen console
so the selling point is the fun games, rather than being a cable box or a place where you can play shitty cinematic movie games

>>384340547
even the wii is a better emulation platform than pc, and the wii u just improves on what the wii had
virtual console is a lot more trustworthy than pc emulators

>>384341008
sheer stupidity right here

>>384341008
no

I'm just glad I can play gamecube games on my Wii U while my potato PC lags like a bitch

If my Wii U is still 5.5.1 can I browserhax?

>>384341210
Yeah, I had to disconnect my Wii U from the internet when I heard there was an update out. I don't care about hacking anything in the Wii U. I just want to hack vWii mode to play Wii and GC games off a HDD on OEM hardware with HDMI output. I've been putting it off for like a year now.

>>384341210
You do realize how stupid you are, you realize that Dolphin (gamecube,wii emulator) plus it can play virtual classics and is probably the best 3d emulator in existence.
Your picture couldn't be more ironic.

>>384341008
>wii is better than pc
Lol.

>>384341356
Yes.

>>384341465
He said his potato PC. Not only that, but the compatibility for Dolphin still isn't perfect.

>>384341368
different anon idiot. My PC sucks so I can't run Dolphin without it lagging unless it's on the weakest settings.

I just ripped my Wii U power cable from the wall upon seeing this thread.
I made sure I disabled all automatic update crap months ago. Still, there is no way for it to update on its own without my approval while turning itself on (yellow light I think)?

>>384341697

>>384341648
>>384341768
Ah I am the idiot, but just saying you can have a q6600 though no excuse.

>>384338595
>best console of PS4, Xbone, Wii U gen (aka last gen)
Great library. Inb4 it's not good because it didn't have a bunch of multiplat AAA shovelware.

>>384341850
why buy that when you can just use Nintendont for free? the Wii U pro controller is better than most USB controllers anyways

>>384341850
It's fine. If you don't have a Wii U, Dolphin is probably better than a Wii for Wii and GC games, despite the less-than-perfect compatibility. Though I'd still rather play Wii and GC games on my Wii U with perfect compatibility than use Dolphin.

>>384341886
shut the fuck up gor

>>384342007
I think the Switch Pro Controller is better, despite the d-pad problems and the shorter battery life (which is still 40+ hours). Going back and forth from my Switch Pro to my DualShock 4 makes the DS4 seem like the DS3 controller - a tiny controller made for young Japanese kids with tiny hands.

>>384338845
>not having Haxchi installed

>>384339309
no, they'll live
just set up a dns or install Haxchi

>>384340315
>than the actualy value of the system.
This says more about your intelligence.

>>384341735
Just delete any connections from network settings or fill them with blank info (made up SSIDs).

Or just use the update blocking DNS.

>he STILL used Loadiine
>he DIDN'T install haxchi

You had
LITERALLY
8 fucking months to do so

>>384342438
>Nintenbro is trying to insult someone else's intelligence
Now that is rich.

>>384342525
I own literally every Wii U game physically besides Color Splash and #FE. I dont need that.

>>384342525

I didn't touch my Wii U for the last 8 months.

>>384342694
I'm pretty sure I've seen you post your collection and I don't think it's that complete. My physical Wii U collection is only about 30 games but I feel like it's essentially complete. My physical Switch collection is already at 9 and will be 11 by the end of the month (Splatoon 2 and Fate/Extella).

i had my fill with MH3U's online. let it all burn.

>>384342525
I installed haxchi with some DS game from the eshop. does this mean i can update the wiiu and still be able to my games?
i have to start haxchi once and then start the homebrew channel and the loadiine app inside the homebrew channel to play most games.

>>384343204
why in fuck christ are you playing loadiine games when you have haxchi installed? just install the fucking games

>>384343037
Every worthwhile* game, or third party game with Wii U exclusive stuff.

Also
>9 switch games
Nigga, why.
So far I have BotW, Metal Slug 3, Fatal Fury, Bomberman R, and Splat 2 coming. You should calm down before you start drowning in a switch back log.

>>384343465
the documentation for playing pirated games is a clusterfuck on most pages and putting loadiine ready games on a sd card was super easy.
but i installed some games with the wup installer or whatever it is called. will they still be playable after the update?
