It's only a matter of time before my son unknowingly does it, too. I'd better get it looked into at some point.

I'm sure both the people who ever used it must have loved it.

(But of course the feature is more cumbersome and complicated than it needs to be and/or should be, because Nintendo innit?)

Process is convoluted though (as is the way with Nintendo) - DVD-RAMs only and the discs you burn can't actually be played on the Wii U and will need to be played on a DVD drive attached to the Wii U. Furthermore, they can't be used with any other Wii U.
It's basically a workaround process to compensate for the Wii U's chronic lack of native storage space.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 17-05-2021, 16:19.

You can say that using a DVD-RAM is a convoluted workaround, but why would you go through the trouble of using an external DVD unit when a HDD is faster and less cumbersome?

It's quite pointless being able to actually use the Wii U itself to burn games to DVD-RAM if you then cannot play them back on the Wii U itself natively. That makes it convoluted IMO.
These workarounds wouldn't be needed if the Wii U had the ability to upgrade native storage from the off a la PS3 and 360.

I can rip my eShop purchases onto a DVD-RAM using the actual Wii U (which actually goes to the trouble of formatting the DVD-RAM into a Wii U Disc) but I cannot then play the DVD-RAM I've just burned on the Wii U internally? Ridiculous. Peak Nintendo.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 17-05-2021, 20:18.
