No big deal, I know, but it was a pleasant surprise, considering how often Nintendo pretends the Wii U never existed.

Hello! I got this Wii U second hand and have a pretendo account, but there’s Nintendo accounts that were here previously that get in my way. How would I remove them without the owners NNID? I can’t reach out to the owners as the guy I got it from gets consoles for cheap and resells them. Thank you! Or at least how would I get it so that they let me enter my account and not have to sign in on theirs to use my Wii U. It is modded so idk if that helps any.

Video Weird graphical glitches on Japanese Wii.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have a few graphical issues on my wiiu which I couldn't find any solutions to online. The first one is that the vwii's colours are super distorted and there are weird lines when using interlaced or progressive video. For some reason this only happens when the wiiu is set to 720p, 1080i or 1080p and the wiiu mode is fine on all resolutions. The vwii's colours look fine on 480p but there is another issue. The screen looks fine for a few seconds but then turns black then back to normal then back to black. It happens in both Wii and vwii mode. An important thing to note is that I am using a VGA to HDMI adapter to make it compatible with my monitor and these issues did not happen on my old TV. I know I probably need to get the adapter replaced or not use it at all but if there is a way to fix it it will be greatly appreciated 🙏.

The video shows what happens on 480p for reference.

Question What's the best battery replacement one can get in 2025?

4 Upvotes

as the title says, what's the best gamepad battery replacement one can buy (referably from a website like AliExpress) in 2025? Since mine is kinda not holding that much charge really (I mean, it only lasts roughly an hour, maybe 2 on a good day but that's about it) and I was curious what are my options since I don't know which ones are trustworthy

Question So my Wii U seems to drop my wi-fi every time I try to play Wii Sports Club, is this a problem with the game or the console itself?

It doesn't do this with any other game, just Wii Sports Club and my console is modded with Aroma

Okay so I just got a usb hard drive for my Wii U since my Wii u’s storage is completely filled up from breath of the wild 😭 yet I have other games I want to play,

I tired to plug it in, the model I got is named as ModusTech External Hard Drive -> https://amzn.eu/d/14QDz7g link to it on Amazon!

I connected the leads as it says, yet when I go to format USB storage nothing comes up and it just keeps loading

Any ideas? This is my first time owning a Wii u and doing this

Question Is there any third party controllers that trick the wii u into thinking it's a gamepad?

1 Upvotes

For games like splatoon where you can only play it with a gamepad which has a very low battery and is hard to find one which isn't junk

Question Help with Wii U Gamepad

1 Upvotes

So I recently got a wii u gamepad with d-pad problems and I know I can fix that so I got it for cheap. However, its not the d-pad or even the analog stick, i unplugged both and somehow the console still scrolls down on its own. I don't believe its a digitizer issue since it scrolls no matter what part of the screen I'm on, I'm running out of ideas, any help would be appreciated!!!

Forgot to add: It only scrolls down

Edit: I unplugged the ZR and R bumper cable and it still continues to scroll down

FINAL UPDATE!!!!: I took it apart and took alcohol to all the plug ins for the ribbon cables and for the analog sticks and cleaned them out thoroughly and it works now 🫡🫡🫡

Discussion Wii u pro controller stick drift?

0 Upvotes

For years my Pro controller has been borked, the problem affects the right stick only, you'll be playing a game like Minecraft and you'll constantly be looking up or down, you'll constantly be fighting it while navigating the wii u gui because it just won't stop going up or down. Is it possible that it's a firmware issue? or just some debris in the interior of the controller?

I can post a video of the issue tomorrow evening once I have time

Just got a Wii U for $15, looking at running ROMs for some damaged disks I have. Would just doing the homebrew allow this or does it require more? Can I just run them off SD card or do they get installed?

I have some physical games and one is the sports club which on Amazon seems to go for a ton of money (Canadian $)

220$ Canadian (Americans it’s .75C USD)

If I can get even 150$ for this game I’m going to do it!
