Nintendo planned on improving sales of the Wii U by bringing more “key” titles to the platform, enticing more consumers to purchase the device, but that plan may be thwarted by Wiikey. It’ll be a bittersweet situation for Nintendo, who just replaced its North American CEO with Nintendo Global President Satoru Iwata. People who purchase the WiikeÜ will inevitably use it to pirate games (with a few using it solely for homebrew purposes), and while it may be damaging to game sales, it may offer enough incentive for people to purchase a Wii U. The sales for the Wii U failed to even meet Nintendo’s lowered expectations, selling only a measly 3.45 million units since its launch. Ive heard with a modded wii we can rip our games to a hard drive and play them from there. The WiikeÜ spells trouble for game developers, however it may do wonders for the Wii U.
#WII PLAY GAMES FROM HARD DRIVE INSTALL#
In a statement on their website, Wiikey stated that they were able to completely reverse “the WiiU drive authentication, disk encryption, file system, and everything else.” When the WiikeÜ becomes available, gamers will be able to install homebrew software on their Wii U, and unfortunately for Nintendo, play pirated games. There’s several advantages to this I don’t have to worry about changing DVDs anytime I want to play a game, in addition to. The WiikeÜ isn’t available to consumers just yet, but Wiikey will be releasing updates regarding the product soon. I’ve been running Homebrew on my Wii for quite some time, which also gives me the ability to play backed up games from a USB hard drive.
