That's one way to re-use an old Wii U.


[FONT=&quot]With the Nintendo Switch taking over the limelight, Nintendo has all but pushed the Wii U into the rearview mirror, and for people who have made the jump, there's a good chance that the console is doing nothing but collecting dust. One modder, who goes by the name Banjo Kazooie has found a way to repurpose their old Wii U by turning it into a Windows 10 PC. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The feat is quite impressive, and Banjo Kazooie has taken a few aesthetic liberties on top of the transformation as well, but the final product itself is something to behold.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]On top of being able to run Windows 10, the Wii U emulator program Cemu was installed, allowing the portable PC to leverage the console's standard functionality to play the games it was originally meant to. It features a crisp Full Touch 2K LCD screen, an Intel M5 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB SSD, Bluetooth, WiFi, 128GB SD Card, and Battery monitoring software with an automatic shut down function.[/FONT]

exputer - You Could Brick The Nintendo Wii U Just For Not Using It, Reports Claim
The nostalgic console is haunted by a severe bug, leading to a slow death.

• Nintendo’s nostalgic Wii U console appears to get corrupted if it is not used for a long time, eventually suffering memory errors that brick the system.
• It is a NAND corruption issue that bricks the console, and it is unfixable if a NAND backup is not made prior to corruption.
• Many reports have surfaced online over the years, and users have been unable to fix Wii U because of the high-risk complications that come with it.
• Nintendo does not offer official repairs for the platform anymore, and the only current solution appears to be running Wii U after a while to ensure it does not brick.

All the more reason I am glad I skipped the Wii U. The damn thing is way too fragile.
