I've actually predicted that vWii couldn't play out-of-region WiiWare and VC games before, but today I installed WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase (NTSC) into my vWii. When I launched it, it gave me the "This channel can't be used" error screen, and this is proof that out-of-region WiiWare games can't be played on Wii U, although I had some VC injects on my SD Card Menu, and they launched and played just fine.

I'm thinking of using FreeTheWads or ShowMiiWads to region-free my WiiWare WAD, but I'm doubting it, and I need someone to test it for me in case.

i just use showmiiwads and change the region to pal - that gets rid of the problem for me

    Games are getting huge nowdays, like 125gb a game (4k games anyways). I feel sorry for players that only have a 512gb hd. (Series S)

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

    Some temporary storage

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.
