Welcome to Wii & Wii U General discussion. This is the relaxed board for the games, the hardware and the memories: from Wii Sports nights to the Wii U's underrated library.
What belongs here
• Favourite games, hidden gems and recommendations for both consoles.
• Collecting: boxed games, special editions, accessories like the Balance Board, Wii Zapper and Wii MotionPlus.
• Setups: getting a good picture on a modern TV, cables, sensor bar placement.
• Memories of the Wii channels, Miiverse and the Wii U eShop.
• Which console to buy and what to look for.
What doesn't belong here
• The Homebrew Channel, Aroma, USB loaders and hardware mods go in Homebrew & mods.
• If something is broken, from a disc drive to a GamePad that won't pair, ask in Help & troubleshooting.
• GameCube topics go in GameCube & N64, though playing GameCube games on a Wii is fine here.
Tips for newcomers
• The Wii outputs standard definition only. Component cables give the sharpest picture on TVs that accept them, and HDMI adapters are a convenient option, though quality varies.
• The Wii U outputs HD over HDMI and plays Wii games and accessories.
• Early Wii models play GameCube games and have GameCube ports. Later models and the Wii Mini don't.
• Wii MotionPlus is needed for some games. The Wii Remote Plus has it built in.
• The sensor bar is just infrared lights, so it can sit above or below the TV. Set the position in the system settings.
• When buying a Wii U second-hand, check that the GamePad is included and paired. A replacement GamePad needs pairing too.
Collecting tips
• Disc rot is rare but real. Store discs upright, away from heat and sunlight.
• Many Wii U games are now only available second-hand, as the eShop no longer sells games.
What isn't allowed
• No ISOs, WADs, game files or where to find them, and no requests.
• No buying, selling or trading on this board.
• Crop personal details out of photos.
