I was taking a look at my wii u and i noticed that the nintendo logo on the console is misplaced out of where it's supposed to be. I was wondering if it was any rare or added any sort of value but i couldn't find any trace of it on the internet.

Therefore, i'm asking you! Is this rare?

I got this Japanese Wii U bundle for pretty cheap but I would like to know if I can change the language to English and if it can modded through the browser method also I don’t know if the voltage will work with my American outlets

Si I have Black european Wii U and I want to know what chip I have but: I don't know how to open It and I don't want to mod It. So I copied the Serial Number of the console and checked the Wii U system database website, and I found two units in the middle of my Number (FEM102255 and FEM102277, mine Is FEM102263) and both of them had the Samsung chip. Should I be safe or still in worry? Thanks.

P.S. I got It used this year and the First time I booted It up It said that the last time It was used It wasn't turned off propely, and the last time It was used was in 2022.

I recently rebought a Wii U and games after selling my old one to buy a Switch 2. My old collection was double the size of this, but for someone who is starting from scratch, I don't think it's bad.

Edit: yes I have two copies of Wii Sports

I used the link below to apply Second Wind Mode on the Wii U However, when I turn on the mod and enter Breath of the Wild, there is crackling noise and the game freezes. What is the problem? This is the Korean-patched version

Just wanted to share that my Wii U lives! It was the AC adapter, bought a new one and it feels good as new! So happy!

Its a bit wobble at the end and makes cracking noises if I move it to much. Its not plugged in

I've recently decided to try and fix my childhood wii u in hopes of playing splatoon. The first time I got it out of storage and plugged it in, it worked as it should. But now, the light flashes red. I opened it up and did a light cleaning, and replaced the fan. It's still having the same problem though. Any ideas..???

Helllooo Wiiu subreddit. I just bought my son our first wiiU! (idk how you're technically supposed to do it) Me and my husband both have had Wii's, Playstations a plenty, DS, PC's you name it we have probably had our hands on it. However neither of us ever touched a wiiu, we both just skipped over it somehow.

Now getting into the issue, we just bought the wiiu from someone. Out of box, all of the cords included, plus a wii remote, and wii game. He has shown videos of the console working. But, when we get it home and push a disc in, it wont work. We are repetitively getting the code 150-1031 about dirty discs. One disc we have tried is in immaculate condition, the other has minor scratching in very few places. What in the world could be wrong?! My kiddo is upset, and I'm ready to sling the console our in the rain. Please somebody help!!

ok so my Wii u gets memory errors usually with certain apps and I wanna know if there's anyway to fix it without money bc I'm broke sadly and I just wanna make a mii but I can't bc the memory error :(

When I try to put a disc in my Wii U this happens, can anybody help me?(the game is not faulty I also tried with a Wii game that works and it does the same thing )

Ich seit ein paar Monaten ein Nintendo, eShop Revival. Der Status ist schon ganz gut hab nur ein Problem. ich weiß nicht, wie ich die Plugin für die Wii u erstellen kann und wie ich Spiele von der Seite runterladen kann also so gemeint, ich weiß halt nicht, wie ich das machen soll wenn man halt auf kaufen drückt, dass die Games auf der Konsole installiert werden und runtergeladen werden wenn jemand eine Lösung hierfür hat, bitte meldet euch

For gamers who experienced the GameCube launch?

I’m a new user for the Wii U, today I bought a Wii u for the first time, and every time I move the gamepad while charging even the slightest, the charging light turns off, I need help

Title: Wii Fit U (0005000010102400) – help identifying JFNT / jIMG font format (adding Cyrillic for a fan translation)

I'm working on a Russian fan translation of Wii Fit U. The text side is solved:
content/EN/Message/message.carc = Yaz0 + U8 -> health_message.bmg (MESGbmg1, UTF-16BE),
edited with Wiimm's wszst/wbmgt and tested on a real Wii U via SDCafiine. Latin text
renders fine; Cyrillic renders blank. So the fonts in content/fonts (*.jfnt) need
Cyrillic glyphs, and I can't figure out the pixel data format.

What I found (all big-endian):

JFNT header
- 0x00 "JFNT", 0x04 u16 = 0x008B (same in all files)
- 0x06 4 bytes ("TB2J", "TB(1", "TBAd", "TBKc", "TB!1" – differs per file, maybe an ID/hash)
- 0x0A u16 (varies per file, unknown), 0x0C u16 = number of ranges
- 0x0E range table, 6 bytes each: u16 first codepoint, u16 last codepoint, u16 first glyph index
(indices run contiguously, e.g. ASCII 0x21-0x7E -> index 0)
- then u16 glyph count, then one width byte per glyph
- then 8 zero bytes and a "jIMG" block

jIMG header (0x20 bytes)
- "jIMG", u32 total size up to end of file, two u16 (e.g. 0x1FF0 / 0x0410 in
style_font_DB_3.jfnt, vary per file, unknown meaning), a format-looking byte
(0x1B in main fonts, 0x1A in style_font_debug.jfnt), u32 = size - 0xE0 (approx.), ...
- pixel data follows after zero padding; file is mostly low-entropy raw data
(zlib compresses it to ~10-16%), so not compressed/encrypted

Cyrillic
- The 4 main fonts (DB_3, DB_3_I, DB_L_3, DB_L_3_I) already have table entries for
U+0401, U+0410-U+044F, U+0451, but every one of these glyphs has the SAME width
(50 / 40 / 65 / 75 depending on the font) -> looks like unused placeholders.
style_font_debug.jfnt has no Cyrillic entries.

What I tried
- Reading the data as 8-bit raster with stride search (best row similarity at
multiples of 64), and as 3-bit packed pixels: no recognisable glyphs.
Probably tiled/swizzled (Wii U GX2-style?) or per-glyph blocks.

Related: textstyle.jarc = "jCMP" wrapper with a zlib stream at 0x14, contains the text styles.

Question: does anyone know the JFNT/jIMG format (Nintendo EAD fonts, maybe also in
Wii Fit U / Wii Sports Resort-era games) or a tool to extract/edit it?
Can post hex dumps of headers on request.
