TheErebus. Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 So my friend informed me of this and so I searched it up, and here it is: http://www.polygon.com/2015/8/29/9226551/xenoblade-chronicles-collectors-edition-wii-u It'll include these: It is only available in the US however.

Renegade343 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Now to find a WiiU emulator, if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Pharen Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Now to find a WiiU emulator, if there is one. That would be fantastic. However I'd say it would be extremely resource hungry since the WiiU is essentially an xbox 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade343 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 That would be fantastic. However I'd say it would be extremely resource hungry since the WiiU is essentially an xbox 360. Well, someone made a Wii emulator, and I managed to get the WiiMote working on my laptop to play Xenoblade Chronicles, so I was hoping for someone skilled enough to get a WiiU emulator working, and then I could try and connect the WiiU tablet to my laptop to play WiiU games.

Renegade343 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Can't get a special edition with an emulator. I just want to play the game without having to buy a WiiU console, because I move around a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a good emulator could just use a standard 360, Xbone or DS4 controller, since the Wii U "Pro controller" is supported. The main difference between a Wii and Wii U emulator are that the Wii was roughly PS2 hardware level, whereas the Wii U is roughly PS3 level, therefore it could require up to 6x the processing power to emulate.

I have a feeling it might work if the settings are lowered. Either that, or I go find a few spare, stronger processors and see if: A: I can rig it into my main computer. B: It can still play. If not, there is always a bit of trading to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PC can run PS2 emulators fine (in terms of performance and framerate), however I do get emulator based crashes occasionally (assuming bits of the game the emulator doesn't know what to do with). I'd say current gen consoles would be pretty easy to emulate, since they are literally PC's with a custom OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on the emulator really, PS2 emulators are extremely CPU intensive, whereas gamecube emulators seem to be highly GPU intensive.

Well yeah, but like I said, Wii and Wii U have significant differences in hardware and performance. I don't know how much power a Wii emulator takes to run, but my flatmate runs one on his smartphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much power a Wii emulator takes to run, but my flatmate runs one on his smartphone. Not that much. It only took up around 5% - 10% of CPU when at medium graphics settings on a 2006 Macbook, from Activity Monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've had similar hardware to a PC, the reason why most emulators are intsensive is due to having to emulate the custom hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, which is why with running emulators, I would just make better ventilation for the host computer involved (yes, I know ventilation and/or cooling is a must for using computers).
