ah it's too late for that, once this is out in the wild nintendo will catch on and patch it, after all have a solid firmware update system in place so any exploits will be patched quite quickly, lets hope this gets into hackers hands soon so they can do something with this.

Bullshit, so much bullshit. I can't believe people think this is real. Did anyone actually read the full post? Oh well, guess pointless hope is better than no hope.

Not to mention the screenshots are way too low res to seem plausible.

Yeah man; you're right.

3264x1840 IS SUCH A FUCKING LOW RESOLUTION.

EVERYTHING IS FAKE YOU GUYS.

Holy fucking shit, some people are dumb.

I guess this guy just KNOWS kanji, hiragana and katakana, took a picture of his TV, somehow got perfectly clean ultrahd images of the Wii U message board, edited the shit out of their content, adding Japanese writing into them and new debug GUIs that perfectly replicate the style of the rest of the GUIs in the Wii U that professional artists will get paid shedloads to design, skewed the finished screenshots and perfectly anisotropically filtered them, and then applied some kind of super realistic filter that looks exactly like an LCD TV screen, right?

The guy even said that he reported it to Nintendo; he didn't even do anything with it! There would be literally no reason to fake this, and it'd be near impossible.

Looks like the guy who is accusing everyone of not reading the full post didn't even scroll down to the fucking ultrahd images. Well done there, Maxwell.

The topic has a lot of pages ...and the story is too recent to be evident to everyone that it's "bullshit".

He just updated the first post though:

I found out I could access the debug menu on Miiverse by hitting the "X" button on the gamepad while hovering over the exit button. I found an admin access list or something to that effect. I couldn't really do anything from there though. I could view different messages from a developer though. One mentioned that there would be big games coming out(announced?) on the 10th of December. A different said "POKEMON" and "SUICIDE". Sorry, bro.

I went to another link that lead me to some test messages. I thought they were real when I found them, because they were posted 20 minutes ago from the time I accessed them. I could flag them for prohibited content, spoilers, and something else that I forget.

Then I went to a different link on the debug menu and it showed three different Miiverse subforums I could access that would be coming out on December 20th. I clicked on the "games for teens, kids and blahblah" (forgot the other two, I think family games was one of them?) and it lead to some sort of dispute between Timelord celebrities Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. There were even more subforums for games specifically, including Yoshi's Island Wii U and Soul Hackers, and less specific ones like "Metal Gear Solid" and "Resident Evils". By the time I stopped posting on gaf to check for more it was fixed, and someone pointed out that Nintendo put up a tweet about a miiverse fix.

I don't know if I really could flag posts to be deleted or whatever, but I know I could not make myself an admin or delete admins. At least when I pressed the buttons nothing happened.

That link did not look like 3264x1840. There was literally no higher res version than the shitty thumbnails.
But regardless, the screenshots are clearly a much lower resolution than the images you linked, and regardless of resolution, it's not proof at all. It looks vaguely real, that's all.

Why can't it be the web browser displaying a web page? Does he show both the GamePad and TV in the same screenshot?
