News about Wii U bricking themselves is good since more eyes looking for solution, looks like it can be bypassed with an SD card mod, gotta figure out how to generate a new NAND without a backup then the system might be saved, pretty sure OG Wii have the same problem since one bricked on me randomly a while back
@maylay I still have a launch day Wii that's been hacked since like 2008 and it's just fine. Have also modded dozens since then and haven't had any problems other than just plain old hardware failure, but that's always been before I got my hands on them so I'm willing to bet the previous owners didn't treat them well enough. The biggest problem I've had with a Wii was when my laptop would corrupt SD cards and so it would seem like the Wii was broken lol.
@beardalaxy I think the Wii are safe in storage, the one that died on me was used really hard so the flash probably got worn out, the Wii U fading away just sitting around is more of a problem since that’s what many of them did, just a problematic system overall, OG Wii is the best
@beardalaxy Undeniably true, that’s probably what has saved it from fading completely into obscurity
