Hi all,
So when it comes to Nintendo consoles I basically am as "noobish" as they come. I'm thinking about buying a pre-owned Wii U for a friend but I have some questions before I go through with it.
I guess the biggest question I have is, are all Wii U consoles "hackable"? I know there are a whole HEAP of guides out there but before I start to sift through them and find recent ones that are relevant, I thought I would just straight up ask. Obviously since I'm buying it pre-owned from a store, I wont be able to tell which firmware the console is on, hence my question of "are all consoles are hackable?". --
I guess my second question is, if they are hackable, then is the process pretty straight forward? Is it complicating? I remember back in the day I hacked my original Wii and I had to take a whole bunch of steps. From memory the process had a heap of steps and it was always risky of getting it bricked. I'm telling you this because I do know a little about console hacking, for example my PS3 is currently running CFW and I thought that was a simple process at the time.
I'm not really after anything too complex like homebrew etc.. I just want to be able to load it with games so when I pass the console on as a gift they have something to play. I'm not really even interested in being able to play the games online, however if its possible (without getting banned) then I guess thats a bonus.
Cheers!
