Hacking WiiU now requiring update to use online features

[Ulieq]

oh snap, hacking is ended on wii u and 3ds

So only Nintendo Network services require an update to use?

Yes, but that's essentially everything online besides the browser. Multiplayer no longer works.

Not if smea actually follows through and releases something.

I don't think so, something big is coming, I sens it.

I've been told Youtube and Netflix are down too. I'm guessing that makes them Nintendo Network services?

I haven't checked YouTube but I can confirm Netflix no longer works.

That's what I thought too.

Okay, thanks. The browser thing makes sense, but I don't see how that's not a Nintendo Network service when third party apps like Netflix are.

I think browser is not a nintendo service as it just access internet, nothing more.

Very true, but it's a first party application. But whatevs, as long as it's accessible.

 

[VinsCool]

If we can acces browser exploit, even if our WiiU is not updated, it is all right for me.

I have netflix and youtube wads installed on my vwii but im not going to connect my internet to try them. But i would assume anything on vwii still works as normal.

Yup, especially since Nintendo broke into all the devs' homes and forced us to update to 5.1.1. It's a shame, really.

The vwii "emulate the wii 4.3, so I assume yes too.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

Am I the only one who think releases on 3DS have slowed way down?

nope. you're not the only one. Besides Smash Bros and Ruby and Sapphire 3DS it's pretty dull atm.

but that has nothing to do with the Wii U atm so let's bury the obvious elephant in the room

I want to smack the hell out of everyone in this thread. You have always been required to update for online access.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!!

What are you talking about? The only thing that requires the latest update is the Eshop. My 3DS is on 7.1.0 and everything works including online for mario kart 7(except Eshop) and the WiiU never until now required the latest version

 

[stanleyopar2000]

so it looks like Nintendo Network is the middleman for Netflix and Hulu...a little..shocking to say the least...but it doesn't surprise me

We aren't talking about the 3DS, we are talking about the Wii U. The Wii U has always required you to update for online services, although I didn't always kick in right away. I've experienced it personally, as have others.

People need to get the hell over it, deal with it by either leaving the WiFi off, or update, the choice is there's I for one chose to have it off and am no worse for wear, still enjoying the console

Back before auto-updates, I would use a game or eShop to trigger an update prompt.

My choice has been made... Homebrew. No online. I know it sucks, I can't play MK8 online anymore. But, local multiplayer, with friends, being drunk, having fun, IS something we still can enjoy though.
