AOTF: According to a Wii modding website, Nintendo’s Wii U has been hacked. While we won’t promote the site directly, a company is claiming to sell a new product called the “Wiikey U”. This Wii Key U is said to be the “first and only optical drive emulator that allows you to play all your Wii U games from any USB media.”
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
Lets hope nothing like this is true.
The only good thing that can come from this is no region lock and that's where it ends. Homebrew isnt good cause it always leads to piracy. The people who make homebrew might have the best intentions, but there is always some lil bleep who uses it to get pirated games to work on the console.
I hope Nintendo cracks down on this like they did with the R4 cards. Send in Ganondorf and some ninja lawyers to take care of this issue.
Lets see if this turns into a cat and mouse game like with the ps3.
Onced its hacked it will always be hacked. You can take down a hacker but 5 more will pop out of the wood work. I dont condone in modding/hacking or anything like this but PC/Nintendo/Playstation/Xbox will NEVER be able to stop these people.
I believe that nintendo does NOT have a backup plan at all like stated. I feel they are just stating this because they are concerned for there product. I do believe that they have good people behind the company who could give hackers a small challenge but in the end they will fail at stopping them
Odds are it's a fake, some company trying to pass a USB drive off as a WiiU unlocker to make a quick buck.
Even if it is true, won't a firmware update kill it?
bu-bu-but hacking doesn't lead to piracy...
