This is great.  A few years ago, I decided to buy a WII U, since I have basically every Nintendo console system since the NES.  But the gamepad screen was broken and I couldn&#x27;t sync the gamepad to the screen until I fixed it.  And I tried to see if there was any alternative, but there wasn&#x27;t until now.  Hopefully that means more WII Us can be saved...  You can sometimes find used Wii Us for $30 without the gamepad, while the gamepad itself costs around $100..

Here is a link to the repository for the gamepad simulator: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;vanilla-wiiu&#x2F;vanilla" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;vanilla-wiiu&#x2F;vanilla</a>

I wonder if you could run this on the Steam Deck or similar hardware.

Oh wow. I never played my Wii U without the gamepad, so I didn&#x27;t know this. Makes sense that the gamepads are still as expensive as they are.

So I see the merit of a well produced video, don&#x27;t get me wrong. But wasn&#x27;t this a bit of a lot of bluff for not so much content?

So I started cloning the Wii U gamepad [video]
