Anyone still play their Wii U?

So...I managed to get a shiny new Wii U console, and I was wondering if any of you still play yours. I'm eager to friend some of you!

GeekyGamerZack's NNID: SquigleyOctanner

I may not own more than a handful of games atm, but I'm looking to expand my library.

You can't send friend requests anymore now that Miiverse has been shutdown mate. That said, yes I still play on mine, but the majority of the time I use it as an internet browser.

@Grumblevolcano Same here. Also WTF was Nintendo thinking tying the friend request feature to Miiverse?!

I sadly don’t play mine anymore, Switch has taken over and I’ve sucome to rebuying games I wanted to play on the go bad enough

@Grumblevolcano But I successfully friended @KingreX32 through the Friends menu...?

@Reanfan Could you please try adding me as a friend to confirm my theory?

UPDATE: Apparently, it's a simple case of going into your Friends list, clicking on "Register Friend", then entering the Nintendo Network ID of the friend in question. When both of you have done this, you'll have added each other to your Friends list.

Apparently, this method of adding friends has existed since the Wii U's dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream inception, which means that friend requests on Miiverse were but one of many (well, two) ways to friend your...uh...friends.

Thanks for the info @SplatZack erm, I mean @GeekyGamerZack.

My cat Lacey destroyed my Wii's AC Adapter AGAIN. I'll need to replace the cable before I can play on it again...

I’m thinking of selling my WiiU, but I don’t know how much I’d get for it or how I’d be able to sell my collection of digital games at a decent price. It’s just hard because I’m rebuying a lot of WiiU and 3DS games in my Switch because they’re DX versions and having them on the TV when normally on the go or visa versa is great

@KokorOtaku You would get $75 tops for the console and maybe $50 extra for the games. Unfortunately you can get a fine of up to $2,500 if you're found out and secondly your NNID would be at the mercy of whomever you sold your console to.

@KokorOtaku LordJumpMad is right. It is illegal to sell your system bundled with digital games. There is a steep fine and jailtime is possible too. =(

@GeekyGamerZack @KokorOtaku My Wii U AC Adapter should be arriving tomorrow. I might also need to purchase a USB 2.0 cable as well since Lacey also chewed my Wii U's HDD USB cable as well "though the damage is far less severe".

@Reanfan That's awesome news!

I'm on my Wii U and my HDD USB cable still works!

Do any of you still play Wii U games online?

@Reanfan Sure do! I currently own at least a couple of online multiplayer-enabled Wii U Games, which are Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon. If anyone wants to friend me, go into your Friend List and find the option to send a friend request, then enter "SquigleyOctanner" (my NNID) when prompted. Hope to splat* you soon!

*"be splatted by"

Nothing to see here, move along. ~ Reanfan ~

Does anyone want to Smash? I'm dying to play Super Smash Bros for Wii U again though I should really upgrade to Ultimate

@Staroceancrazy I don't currently own it, sadly.
