I've heard that Homebrew Channel runs in vWii mode on the Wii U.
Personally I haven't installed it yet because I fear
Ninty may bring out a System Update and brick my nice new console

Is there any threat and what can we do about it???

I use it and have had no trouble

Please could you tell me how long you ve been using HBC on Wii u
Also is it true that the Wii U System Updates dont touch the vWii mode???
Thanks for the quick reply btw

been using it since i bought my wii u - 4 months, maybe 5

same here.

Nintendo isn't going to brick your Wii U. At most they'll try to delete the Homebrew Channel and block its installation.

I use it too, can't imagine Nintendo will release another system update at this point.

Thanks for the info everyone I better get on with putting HBC on this morn
Will be great to have Mplayer and Wii64 on gamepad
I see its unlikely ninty would release update for wii mode XD

Is there any major benefit of hacking vWii if you have the last gen Wii already fully modded?

I can't think of anything except the use of hdmi and the gamepad as an external display.

In theory the wifi is a little bit faster but in practice it seems to be more unstable (more disconnects). The bluetooth also seems pretty dodgy (wiimotes taking multiple attempts to connect).

Too right, tueidj. It's taken us several attempts to connect Wiimotes for SMWorld and vWii mode

Concerning the Wii u future tho I saw a very interesting video claiming that when 3DS needed more sales
Ninty got to building more games for it and encouraged more third party development
I believe same thing will happen with with Wii U, 2014 is to be its year!!
