You should definitely do it, your not losing anything modding your Wii U and can even save them from breaking in some of them.

Without a doubt! It’s super easy and gives your console so much potential! You can add your own games, do mods, tinker with various things on your system, and even go back into online services with pretendo. Base Wii U is only 20% of the fun, modding is the other 80%.
(Also mod the Wii within the Wii U if you are up to it, it’s a different process since it’s technically a different system, but it’s also easy and unlocks even more potential as well!)

If you mod your system, you can:
– get free games
– play online (Nintendo shut down the servers in 2025 sadly)
– check if your nand is good and if it’s bad, fix it
– use miiverse again and get the wara wara plaza back
– play retro games
– use other controllers, like a ps5 controller or an Xbox controller
– play mods
And more!
Be sure to follow this guide and this guide only, using a video has a chance to brick your Wii U:
I guess you can do awesome stuff when modded, i never did it myself. Thinking about it for ages, but never felt motivated to do it. I just don’t need it, have hundrets of games on steam and enjoy the wii u for the Nintendo titles i already own and how it is. Call me crazy but i rather buy some cheap used wii and wii u games than making the effort to mod it. But if you don’t have a huge backlog pile like me, you should do it for more variaty.

Yes.

I had this same thought, and I would like to know if that is viable, mine is also a black model but I live in Brasil, so any form of tech support here is almost non-existent if I fuck up something.
Should I mod it? From what I have seen it’s better to do it but the risk of messing something and bricking it is a lot to me.
But if there is an extremely well detailed guide somewhere, one that explains each step very carefully and precisely, I would appreciate it.

A buddy jailbroke mine and put on Homebrew and loaded it with emulators and roms.
I also own the NES and SNES MINI consoles and the controllers that came with those are compatible with wiimotes so I can play nes and snes roms with proper controllers.

100%, it’s one of the best consoles use for emulation. I play my Pokémon games on it all the way up to soul silver and heart gold.

Even if you’re not interested in any mods, I reccomend to just so you can nand backup in case of spontanious falure. My 3ds had a nand error out of the blue and never worked again. I didn’t hack it just to be safe, yet hacking it would have been safer.
