Homebrew If Nintendo shut down online servers for the wii u could someone make a project like wiimfii for it?

Nintendo Network is more secure than Nintendo WFC. I think it's nearly impossible to emulate Nintendo Network. Also, there is no reason why Nintendo would shutdown Nintendo Network.

The OP didn't ask about Nintendo Network, that's an entirely different thing but I guess the answer really lies in the fact that when they do finally close the servers, someone will have to announce that they will host a similar unofficial service.

Unfortunately my crystal ball won't work to show the answer so until we see an announcement from someone then the answer is no.

I'd like to think someone would if they could but Wiimfii requires a patched cIOS for the redirection of data to the custom servers and I don't think we have that access on Wii u yet.

Nice! Well there you go, thats an announcement at least! A vague one but an attempt at doing it none the less!

I hope they manage to get it fully implemented.

Never heard about that! Great how far Wii U hacking is in 2020.

Yes, it works. In most of the demo videos the person demoing it is using cbhc.

I just hope that pretendo fixes Nintendo networks peer to peer issues and uses a server related solution instead.

I think it's unlikely, because almost anything worth playing on the Wii U has been ported to the Switch already. Devs would more likely focus their efforts on emulating the Switch's online system when that eventually goes down.
