Most of the time ive seen people on wii u purposely go for using emulators in vwii rather than retro arch so thats where my assumption came from but I will be honest retroarch is still a great option for people who prefer wii u mode
So friend, the Wii U retroarch is very good, I recommend it
The Wii emulators injected into the Wii are only worth the ones that aren't natively available on the Wii, like the N64 ones, but otherwise run through Retriarch, you'll see that it's much better

people who still play wii emulators on the wii u are in a hurry to the past of the console when it didn't have any emulators natively, nowadays it is no longer necessary to use many vwii emulators on the wii u

I wanted to understand why there are no standalone emulators for the WiiU in Aroma, the Wii U virtual console works very poorly and it's not even worth doing a Rom Inject in my humble experience and the console doesn't even have ports of some emulators, since it It would have the power to emulate even the PSX/N64.

A guy told me that I could simply use the Vwii and use Wii emulators, but man I'm asking precisely because I wanted to use the 1080p output of the Wii U itself for this, if I use the Vwii it's in 480i and it looks very ugly on TV.

(Don't tell me to emulate on a PC, I'm just trying to understand if it's something related to the Wiiu hack, programming, lack of interest or whatever reason.

You see, sometimes things go faster than expected. :)

    Why does this sound so much like Castlevania https://youtu.be/fyDFrWo0uRs?si=XUzhTT1xXc3fBezj
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Hopefully the new Digimon story gets released on the switch 2 as well.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    What made me love Story Cybersleuth when it came out for the vita was the portability. All the grind is not as fun if I need to look at the big screen.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I kind of feel like Nintendo learned from their poor excuse of a library which would explain the specs boost so more devs can work with it easier I suspect a bigger library
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Poor excuse of a library? Switch has over 12,000 games on it, where you been?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I've taken over 12,000 shits but it's still shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    PS4 only has 3,477. N most of those were shit.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Okay but this isn't about Playstation or xbox
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Look at how much the play store has but people say that's shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There were/ are lots of good games on Switch, why else did the console sell over 150 million units.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Because it was targeted towards kids and parents assumed it's kid friendly
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    And cheaper
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You just enjoy your PS4\5 and "poor library", while us " kids" will enjoy a huge library of game choices. :P
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah that's why I'm buying a switch 2 I say what something has which the switch does mostly have shit titles
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Don't know why you think I fanboy when I own every platform just not switch lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Btw, the average age of Switch owners are 20-30 years old, so doubt parents bought most those 150 million units.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    It's entire platform is targeted towards kids though lmao
