The Steam Deck we have at home:
-
I used the Sunshine game streaming software and the WiiU homebrew port of Moonlight to get game streaming working on a WiiU gamepad. It's sort of like a bootleg Steam Deck, and it works surprisingly well, but it mostly just made me want a Steam Deck.
Oh it looks cool! Great way to recycle something

What’s the latency like on that? I have a dusty wiiU and this seems like a fun little project

negligible compared to the pal display and jet engine noise?

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Slightly perceptible, but totally playable. Considering all the hops it has to make, it's surprisingly good. I have both my WiiU and my desktop hooked up to ethernet, which helps.
Games like Portal 2 work well because they don't usually require split second inputs, but anything requiring precision (like a rhythm game) would probably be a struggle. -

the wii-u console, required to run the gamepad is loud, and the display is 854 x 480 pixels

Thank you! I think the impracticality of it all adds an extra layer of fun

The WiiU was ahead of its time.
Great little console.

Ohh yeah it’s been a really long time since i used it

Looking back, it almost feels like a Switch prototype. It's a goofy little thing, but I love it.
That said, I also love the Nintendo Virtual Boy, so my judgement might be questionable. -

Wii U is one of the best consoles of all time and hardly anyone knows it

There are dozens of us!

Last time, when I used it, to take my save games over to cemu I was really appreciative how quiet my gaming pc was in comparison haha.
I miss fire hopping in Mario kart

The WiiU crawled so the Switch could walk so the Deck could run

Always, this.

Holy bezels, I remember having a Wii U

That said, I also love the Nintendo Virtual Boy, so my judgement might be questionable.Yeah, it did so many things wrong and had so many little annoyances regarding the gamepad.
Still, great games and a wonderful charm to it.

I agree. I think the problem with it is that it was just too complicated. With most Nintendo system what you see is what you get - with the Wii, those people having a good time swinging around their little Toblerones really are playing a game; the Switch really is a home console grade portable handheld thing; the WiiU manages to look like both those things without being either.

I would definitely not push it that far, but it was just good enough. I liked the tablet, and a lot of the games that were showcased on it were fun. All it had to be was a little more powerful, and not be absolutely destroyed by the horrible branding
