Never trust Games "fair condition". Bought another wii u for the spare room, gamepad had deep scratches and console was badly scratched. Missing stylus also

Thank you. Has anyone else any experience buying the Wii U from Game? I couldn't care about the console being in bad shape, just want a decent gamepad.

Perhaps I was just unlucky with my gamepad. Yet I can't believe game would except a traded in console with deep scratches on the screen.

I bought one a few weeks ago, almost same deal, but with Mario 3D instead of Zelda. I can't complain about the state of the gamepad, a few very faint scratches on the back, stylus was there, screen was pretty mint, no box, which as it had one in the photo, I was hoping for one. I don't regret it at all. But I guess it's luck of the draw. No stand for the console though, that was annoying.
If you do buy it, buy Breath of the Wild, yes I know it's expensive and I can't see it dropping much for the foreseeable future (and then it will possibly become collectable and not go down anyway), but it is an amazing amazing game, absolutely enormous and since we got it, we haven't played another Wii U game.

I completely agree breath of the wild is a totally awesome game. I got a preowned wii U from Amazon for 109 on 5.5.1 - homebrew very easy and looks like a 5.5.2 homebrew method is coming soon. At around £100 to play that one game it's worth it. You are going to have some scratches just get over it - it doesn't matter. Mine didn't have a dock but I got one from game for £2 and also a high capacity battery for the gamepad which was £14 I think. Completely worth it.

Good price given what folk seem to want to sell their old ones on fb

Can they be returned free of charge by post or in shops if you're not happy with the condition?

Yes, I contacted Game when I see the condition of the console/gamepad and they said return it.

Tbh it's a fair price unless you get a gamepad in crappy condition with the 2 games boxed. Way more appropriate than what nintendo charged for it anyway. --- On a side note I'm kind of an idiot for possibly updating mine a while ago, I assumed nintendo were done with updates and homebrew would've probably catched up so decided to keep up to date. Though it looks like there are other options should I start.

If you are interested in homebrew (region free, play game backups, emulate old consoles, play gamecube games on the vWii, edit saves etc etc) check the version of your Wii U BEFORE going online with it as it will automatically update. If it is 5.5.2 you are straight out of luck, but if it is 5.5.0 or 5.5.1 (pretty likely if it is a used console as 5.5.2 only dropped a month ago) you can follow the guide here to block further system updates and install homebrew.

I tried to stop my Wii U updating by selecting no automatic updates and changing codes access codes. However as soon as I connected to the internet so my son could use the YouTube app the update started automatically. So don't go online with your Wii U at all if you are thinking of home brew. There are hints that the crunchy roll app may have a way to exploit through the adverts but nothing availed to general users yet. I might be buying a second Wii U just for homebrew.

If you want just Homebrew you're better off with the original Wii... But I guess you're after "Homebrew" :grin:

If you change your DNS settings to those in the link I posted your Wii will not be able to communicate with Nintendo update servers.

I did change the DNS settings and it still updated. Maybe when I changed the WiFi connection. Thought changing DNS settings was a one of job but maybe every connection needs DNS settings changing ???

The DNS settings would need to be set for each new connection on the Wii I think as it sets them all up as default to start. You may be in luck however if you have a read over here and on the linked gbatemp thread it looks like another web exploit has been found which allows Haxchi to be installed on 5.5.2. I've only skimmed it but it's worth a look.

Using homebrew, can any game be played on the gamepad screen? :smile:

Possibly this. Haven't looked into it myself though.
