Hey there!
My wife and I have 2 Wii's and we are thinking about gifting one to her cousin who is turning 14 this week. I am so behind in all of the advances in the home brew scene. Is there like an ultimate thread or a video where I can get up to speed to set up the Wii that he will love playing. He is really into Mario and Nintendo in general. What I am looking for is to pimp the wii to look cool and the games to display cover art in wii flow or USB launcher or whatever kids use these days.

Yeah modmii is still the answer. U can either use the main wizard as if the wii is a virgin, even though it isn't, and it will overwrite older mods u may have already in place (its safe to repeat steps).

Or you can get a syscheck.csv using this

Then drag and drop your syscheck.csv onto modmii.exe and it will tell you what to do (or tell u all your mods are up to date if no changes are recommended). The end result between the two methods will be the same, however the main wizard will ask if u want to also set up (or update) a usbloader. If you want help with this and are using the syscheck updater method, afterwards you can run modmii's usbloader setup wizard for help with that

    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high
    like come on 60 for a game thats a decade old??)

    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.

    I don't identify as anything, unless I need to get on a plane then I show ID
