[Rumor] WiikeÜ ?

[Ray Lewis]

Cost wise I could easily see it being 150$ being the first one out. Then maybe drop to 100-125.

I'm personally not going to even consider it until I see a review here and see how it fares update wise. I have no idea to be a guinea pig, let everybody else figure out the kinks first.[/q

Cliff notes?

 

[Maxternal]

Just to add to it, I'm going to take a shot and ballpark the modchip to be between 65 and 90 dollars when it's released

2 games > $100, so $100 < all games.
I have the strangest feeling that it will be in the $150 - $200 range (original wode price (?)) Cause it seems it will be fancy with its "Stylish USB remote with powered USB hub and charger function".

Competition brings prices down. One enters at $95, then a copy slightly different is $80, do first device maybe revises and must lower price, enter 3rd, 4th, etc. Going by history on other scenes here, like 360. Glanced over the rest.

Cost wise I could easily see it being 150$ being the first one out. Then maybe drop to 100-125.

Anyone else want to place any bets?

Glad that Ü is common in german.
Weird choice non the less.

I'm guessing it's an attempt to combine the U and the ii (Actually reminds me of a chinese rippoff brand for 3rd party wii accessories. They have the two I's in Wii joined up at the bottom so it looks like WÜ)

Spoiler

Looking at your sig now and remembering you had mentioned helping test this thing, I think I would have been too paranoid to also put your Nintendo Network ID in your sig. That's just me, though.

$100 minimum.

Whether or when I buy this thing (and the WiiU) depends on the

• timing of its launch. (will it be after or before the system decides to add video games to its features)
• the price (less of an issue than my confidence in the thing.)
• The installation process (something I can do quickly and with valuable video guides.)
• Functionality/longevity (hard to gauge but most important. May have me turning away like it did with PS3's disc generations.)
• Expert reviews.

I will not be buying a WiiU unless I'm buying the chip. A system without the chip is worth less to me than having no system.

Anyone actually see this thing in the wild yet?

Nopes, I haven't seen any news on it lately. Also why bump an old topic? If there's news on this it would get posted you know. Try to show your patience and you'll get rewarded for waiting! ;D

Would it be better to start a new topic instead of writing in this one?
What are you, afraid that gbatemp's servers will run out of hdd space?

Yes a new topic would be better in de Wii U HACKING SECTION. Or at least he could have done some research by himself before posting?

This is a discussion thread. Why not keep all discussion in here? A new topic would NOT be better.

2013-07-15: Wiikey U update
Its been a while and we have been hard at work at the Wiikey U hardware. WiiU encrypts the data sent from the drive with AES-CBC-128. We have now fully integrated an AES core into the FPGA and it is operating at the same speed as the drive. We've had a setback with another component though, and we are now testing alternatives. Hopefully we will have another update in a few more weeks.

Thanks for the info.

Seems its gonna be at least a couple of months until this is released.

I completely forgot about this

 

[Ray Lewis]

Thanks for making that public.

This is a treat to Nintendo it is too early if it real.....

 

[Langin]

Why bump an old topic? It's proven fake if I recall correctly!

 

[Ray Lewis]

I did not check another site for a while, but there was a lot of detail. Last I heard, 3Key was a priority and then Ukey. It has been quiet though...off to that thread on that other site.

 

[Subtle Demise]

So confirmed fake then?

 

[Foxi4]

So confirmed fake then?

I don't remember it ever being confirmed fake, the team behind the project is no "Crown3DS", they release hardware for other systems and I don't think they'd risk their reputation with a prank like this. I'd sooner wager that there isn't that much of a market for a Wii U backup loader at this point in time hence it's not exactly a first priority project.

 

[Maguin]

No news since a long long time, is this Project still alive? I hoped there would be some news for christmast.
