Wind Waker HD here I come

How much do you get paid to teach “game history”? Um, asking for a friend. yeah, asking for a friend.
…you teach GAMING HISTORY?!
wii us my fav console tbh
Why 5? And can i have one? 😂
What school? I fucked up. Mine is forcing me to learn about Jesus. Which is ironic because it’s a heavily conservatively skewed org who would deport the guy if he showed up today. Games are way cooler.
Well now your students can make some Super Mario.
Do you ship to Canada LMAO
I call dibs 🤣
Ill take one off your hands if you wanna get rid of em
Dang, I did _NOT_ need to know about this. This post made my bones creak.. :P WiiU is a modern, new, high-tech and extraordinary handheld device!
Holy fucking shit what a jackpot. What are you planning to do with them lol
Woah
the WiiU was better than the Switch imo
Dibs
Trying to offload any of them? I might be interested.
The Wii U walked so Switch could run.
Teach gaming history? That’s a thing? I can get a degree in gaming history?!?
You lucky bastard!
Dibs
specifically the mario maker bundle too this school knows ball !
look out scott the woz, you got competition!
holy shit! a nintendo scott the woz!
Wii U, more like Wahoo, am I right
Hell ya moment
Nobody likes a braggart.
Dibs!!! I don’t even need five - one would do nicely please :)
Gaming equivalent of a dinosaur fossil.
Well that's something.
ooh ooh can i have one!!!!!!
Ate you sure they aren't just cleaning out their closets and said, "hey, that professor teaches gaming history and these are gaming history, let's give that professor our garbag...historical exhibits"?
Projects? 🤷♂️ What school teaches people video game history anyway... More power-ups to ya though.
Uuuuu, nice.
The batteries in the tablet might be toast by now
I teach at a local high school and I am willing to bet that you are a LOT of kids favorite!! 😂
I think you could configure them in sets for emulation 1 - NES/GB/GBC 2 - SNES/GBA 3 - N64/DS 4 - GC/WII 5 - WII U/ Maybe the virtual console in some way?
Hey can I have one?
Oh dude lucky
Thats 5 too many 👀
Mod the shit out of them..make 'em PS2s and Dreamcasts lol
spare a wii u for a creature of the sea?
Bet none of em work
dude im locked in a basement right now and i need a wii u to get out PLEASE drop it off at my doorstep at Latitude: 1.01738, Longitude: -126.17334 or else i will die (real and true)
"here's not what to do"
Shame they don't play Gamecube disks like the Wii, you could have set up a Mario Kart Double Dash LAN party...
So drown others die of thirst
With very little effort you can make them into top tier emulation devices. Easily the best way to play DS games
Bro. Do you think they were all on a journey together, or are they just 5 different Wii Us that survived this long?
hell yeah
Honestly a great way to play DS games on a larger format. Modding was quite easy.
Gaming history?
Mario maker 5 confirmed
Scott the Woz is jizzing at the thought of this
Gaming history? Like that is a worthwhile subject for anyone to waste their time and mind on? I assume you're joking.
Lucky bugger!
?????
Neat!
Almost as many as they sold, and I was one of the people who bought one
Keep one vanilla, mod the other one and keep the other three for spare parts!
Make a steamdeck out of one of them lol
unusable download code and no amiibo 😭 oh well, you can still mod them
A win is a win
Take good care of five peaks! Unfortunately. You can't play peak game as the eShop shut down.
Where did these even come from? I mean... I still like mine but... this is random as hell?
Dam i wish I had one
They just dusted these off from storage? 🤣🤣
Mario Maker could be a great teaching tool!
I’m in the wrong profession clearly
That’s great. You just have to lock up the consoles. Then it’s like a Nintendo switch that will work in the classroom but not anywhere else once it disconnects from the console.
Did they also gave you plastic instruments too?
We had one of these CIB at the game shop I used to work at, I think it was like $500
That's half the world supply
Awesome!
Probably bought with government money
Donate one of the Smithsonian and place the others on a bidding war
I could use one!😁 (I’ll be gentle)
Tell me how I can get a job teaching game history
yo can I have one pretty please
What’s it feel like to be gods favorite?
how come I didnt get to go to a school with a gaming history class like wtf
...Teach them well. I never had a wii or a wii u but those consoles had some neat stuff! :3 Bootleg the heck out of them!
Just got a back up gamepad last week. WiiU is the best U
Sexy
Wait. For use with your class obviously.
Can i have one? 🥺
This is one of the absolute best consoles to mod on. A legit emulation powerhouse this machine is.
I'd be interested in having a WiiU if they're in good condition. maybe a giveaway? :3
An interesting device to work into coursework. A shame the eshop is long dead on it. The virtual console could have been used as a snap shot of different eras and design philosophies at the gaming company thats been in the hardware 1st party publishing longest
Score!!!!!
that's 75% of the Weewoos sold!
That school need a librarian? Damn.
I'd be happy to have one-
luckyyyyyyy
Oh how I Miss the Wii
🎶 Five Golden Wiis 🎶
I think you mean 5 switch 3
HOW
For what? Paper weights?
WvU
I can take one of those off your hands, if you’re not using it.
Wii U’s to be a country
Im sorry THATS AN OPTION OF CAREER?! WHERE AND HOW DO I SIGN UP
jackpot
I am extremely curious as to how and where you teach gaming history... How did you get to that position?
Nice
Those are homebrew beasts and can be hacked pretty easy by just following a guide
This means you can have a class of 20-25 students play Nintendo Land as an assignment. Do it!
somebody yell Scott the woz
THAT'S A CLASS??
Underrated system. I loved mine
You lucky mf
Not enough tbh!! Need at least a dozen
do MN9 runs on them until they die
I see a lot of people mentioning how great it is for modding, I just want to say that the Wii U was a great console in general.
Time for a class on BOTW
Well, gaming history teacher meets gaming history. Heavenly match! Try some, perhaps they work? Should be fun.
So... The Wii U is now history? Literally? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
bros post is popping off, remember this catboy when youre famous fr
Oooo proper envious ngl, my current one is on its way out 🥲
oh shit, american versions even? that's pretty darn good you can pick up japanese consoles on the cheap but it's definitely tricky to unlock the region on em' (not impossible, just tricky)
I need to find mine; I miss it all the time
Can I buy one from you?
bro I remember begging my parents for a wiiU like crazy back in 2013. ironically, I did end up getting one a few years later, but I traded it for an expensive gamecube game for some reason.
Scott seeing all those Wii U's and being like...
Just in time for my birthday in a few weeks, it'll arrive just in time if you mail it soon!
Psst I’ve never had even one so…present for Sid time?
Congratulations
Try and get the Internet browser updated, they're an S tier interface.
Not jealous at all
Lowkey would be the happiest guy
How those NANDs doin? 🙏 👀
