Is there a port of Cuphead for the Wii U?
from what I see someone was working on it but never released anything other than videos. Makes me somewhat doubtful as to their authenticity.

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.

no it cant and it been on other group in feb 2021. also someone did ported cuphead on Wii U
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.

Its happening!


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.
