Sonic CD (2011) — Updated Wii U Port

RSDKv3 1.3.3 | Beta 1 | Nintendo Wii U

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to share the first public beta of my updated Sonic CD (2011) port for Nintendo Wii U!

This project builds upon Clownacy's previous Wii U porting work, updating the engine to RSDKv3 1.3.3 and adding Wii U-specific fixes and improvements.

The goal is to keep Sonic CD running well on Wii U, with better stability and additional functionality.

This beta has been tested on real Wii U hardware!

Known Limitations

Some edge cases may require additional testing.
Not all subsequent upstream RSDKv3 changes have been integrated yet.
