Rubberduckycooly did release a Wii U branch on GitHub. However, there's no sign of a Wii U port yet.

shorturl.at/jOTV4 (I had to shorten the link since I'm not allowed to send the full post just yet as I'm still a newbie)

IIRC, if you wanna compile it, you need to use Xcode and then do a few bits to get it working. There is a readme file teaching you how to set it up.

For now, keep an eye on their GitHub repo for any new commits/releases of their port.

That branch is really incomplete and won't compile.
Someone mentioned on their discord server that they stopped working on a Wii U port.

Oh that's a shame and understandable since they wanted to stop doing these decompilations altogether according to their GitHub page.

On a positive note, a user from the Sonic community, Clownacy, told me he might pick up where Rubberduckycooly left off and finish off the Wii U port of Mania since they did decompilation ports in the past to that console, Sonic CD being one they've done.

It actually can, Sonic Mania was just finished being decomped a day or two ago, and already ported to the Vita. Wii U should be right around the corner, hell someone that knows what they're doing could probably get it done today.

Anyway that Cuphead thing you're talking about was just a fan remake for the Wii U that didn't get very far, Cuphead itself has not been decompiled (yet anyway).

Cuz no one is interested in decomping either episode of Sonic 4, though you can play episode 1 on the Wii U via Wiiware on the vWii.

And again, that's not a port of Cuphead, it's just homebrew meant to replicate the game on the Wii U, which again didn't get very far.

Beautiful.

I wish @JustJay was still around and this thread here https://gbatemp.net/threads/sonic-mania-on-wii-u-and-genesis-vc-console-on-wii-u.583535/ were still open so I could shove this all in his dumb face. He was talking down to me when I objected to his claim that Sonic Mania could never come to the Wii U, when i said it feasibly could, if it were to ever be decompiled. I did say not to hold their breath to the OP on the prospect, but in that regard I appear to be wrong to have suggested that even.
