    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.

          negligible compared to the pal display and jet engine noise?

              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 WiiU was ahead of its time.

                    Great little console.

                        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.

                              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.

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

                                      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.

                                          480 would be NTSC. PAL was higher resolution. But, yeah, the latency was basically imperceptible but the fan noise was real.
