Wii U

[Aiko Heiwa]

So apparently the Wii u sales boosted a lot after Mario Kart 8 came out? I don't really know if this is true or not, I just see it being thrown around a lot when I'm browsing the internet.

It boosted a lot compared to normal Wii U sales.

Wii U has been "hacked". When you visit a certain webpage with the browser, it runs a code that displays this, allowing you to run homebrew:

Spoiler

If you press "1", it berates you for wanting to play pirated games and uninstalls the application, btw.

Pretty sure it will continue the installation

 

[freakworld]

Interesting. What will happen if I run the entire installation?

afaik, it doesn't allow for much yet, they're still trying to hack into the system further and don't have complete access yet. I'm too much of a pussy to do it since it would void the warranty and who knows what

Here's a faq/thread about it I found

 

[freakworld]

my warranty is over nyways i think. might try it later

 

[Nabber]

there doesn't really seem to be anything to try, though. it's basically just to prove that they can hack it, but there's no real functionality yet

Miiverse is worse than most things.

So Nintendo will have run out of its two "bomb" games after Super Smash Bros. for Wii U gets released. I wonder what they will cling to to try and save the console later.
