YouTube’s ‘John GodGames’ has shared some videos, showing a number of WiiU games running in the latest version of CEMU. As we’ve already said, this version is not available yet to the public. Below you can see The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3, Xenoblade Chronicles X, New Super Mario Bros. U and Super Mario Maker running in this amazing WiiU emulator. Enjoy!

Wow 0_0 even Xenoblade X
That’s almost unbelievable, progressing that fast?
This is fantastic!
That is some nice progress!
Can’t wait to get my hands on Bayonetta 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles X.
You’ll have to rely on Amazon I think. Nintendo probably doesn’t have any distributors in Pakistan. That is of course assuming you want to play them legally.
Omg… you are looking so stupid now. Stop telling every freaking one what is right and what is not. If he has no nintendo distributors on Pakistan he can torrent it. Get over it.
What is the most disgusting is the way you write your comments.
Go a tell to te regular indian guy to pay 1/4 of his salary on a nintendo game. Or a original win key. Go f yourself.
I knew i was gonna find you here pointing your finger. I would love to meet you face to face…
I do tell everyone, including Indians and Argentines or whatever. And there’s nothing disgusting about my comment because I’m telling him how to obtain the game legally, simple. In fact I think he knows that himself; I’m just driving the point home. But obviously you seem to have issues with that because you just want to throw a fit when you know I’m right. So just scurry back into your little hole and hush.
And by the way, if I happen to go to Argentina sometime, I’ll let you know so we can meet, hombre. But I doubt you’ll survive the encounter since you’re already having trouble measuring up to me online, lulz.
You are telling him to get the game llegally and you already know nintendo in pakistan is no real. So i think im right when i tell you that your comment is selfish and disgusting. Its like you really enjoy defending big and greedy corporation and pointing the finger at customer. Why dont you go a apply to a job posting at Microsoft.
Or are you maybe, a fail dev f up but piracy and you cry on pc gaming sites about it on your free time?
And if you are around here, just tell me where and when. For real
Yes I know Nintendo doesn’t have a distributor in Pakistan, which is why I’m letting him know he has to get the games from Amazon. Where is the problem? I’m pointing him in the right direction so he can buy the games and enjoy them on PC.
And listen, we’ve been through this big greedy corporation cr*p before and I’ve also shown you plenty of examples where piracy isn’t about getting back at them, but about getting stuff for free. You didn’t manage to prove me wrong back then and you certainly won’t now.
Oh and also I’ll definitely let you know if I’m visiting; just don’t start chimping out and throwing a tantrum there, okay? If you’re civil, I might even buy you a beer and listen to what you have to say about those big bad corporations.
Reading the rest of your comments I realized that you are either trolling or just thick as a brick. Why do you think saying someone that he doesn’t play the game “legally” will offend him or make him feel bad with your irony? I pirate games and when it comes to Nintendo I have all the Wii games downloaded! I prefer the extras emulator gives on my high end PC. And that will be the same for Wii U. You on the other hand can rely on Amazon..
“Why do you think saying someone that he doesn’t play the game “legally” will offend him or make him feel bad with your irony?”
What I think is irrelevant. I told him how to get the game since he can’t buy them where he stays. I never suggested even once that he would pirate it (though it’s likely), so what are you on about exactly?
And thank you for coming clean about your own piracy habits. I can see why you would have a problem with my comments since I happen to routinely mock and ridicule pirates as thieves and scum. However, I appreciate your honesty; at least you don’t sugarcoat the fact that you’re a thief with all that “piracy is justified” BS.
You should read again the sentence you quoted until you comprehend what I mean.
Besides that yes you can say I am a thief I have no issue with that. I have downloaded and copied many games in my 26 years of gaming and I have many games in my collection as well since I was collecting video games for more than 15 years.
No offense, but it’s a little hard to understand you from that quoted sentence because it contains quite a few grammatical and phrasing errors. I apologize but I only responded according to what little I understood of it. And it’s good that you’re a veteran gamer and I appreciate your dedication to gaming. But simply being a longtime gamer doesn’t entitle you to free games.
P.S. I have addressed your other comment separately for your convenience.
Oh if that is the case I understand your inability to reply. I am trying to have this conversation with you because English is not my mother language and I find it difficult to explain to you exactly my thoughts. If you were speaking Greek it could be much easier for me. Especially on my other comment. I will try to reply the best way I can so you can understand my point of view, although from your last comment I do not believe you don’t. I do understand your point of view.
No worries, I’m able to understand you pretty well. it’s just that particular sentence which I had trouble understanding. I’ve also been meaning to learn Greek (at least a few phrases), but I don’t think I’ll be able to have a conversation in it anytime soon!
My GOD, that was fast. Now show us Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2. Also, Twilight Princess HD too please.
with all these hassle.. why not they just release the game on multi platforms where people can just buy the games/content. you can only get so far with a device. microsoft learnt that selling hardwares get you no where and hence focus on services instead.
I would love Uncharted/Halo/Zelda on PC, good idea.
Wonderful, free games for all 😉
The emulator is free. You still have to own the games legally.
Says who – is it Simon says ..LOL!
You are well aware that there is tons of WiiU torrents right 😉
LOL. Yes I am aware there are torrents. I am also aware there are c*nts who download from them instead of buying the game and respecting other people’s work.
“you still have to own”, It doesn’t seem like you are aware of anything to me
I am in fact. Perhaps quite a bit more than you (if you wanna spar), but I digress. If I were speaking to someone of considerable intellect (which I’m assuming PcRules isn’t), I’d have used the word “license” instead of “game”. But since I wasn’t, the word “game” should suffice for the layman’s understanding.
it’s sad cause i actually think nintendo makes sure their games are pretty darn stable at release and they really work hard on their games. I’m actually not 100% one way or another but it makes me feel morally bad with nintendo. Why i say i’m not one way 100% is over me getting all my gamecube games i used to own and yes download them and play them in dolphin.
Playing thousand year door in 1440P looks good!
Well as far as I’m aware you can go ahead and download the game if you have a legitimately bought copy, since creating a backup for personal use is fair. That’s the disclaimer with all ISOs/ROMs as per most emu authors I’ve seen: if you have the originals, no problem. If not, you have to delete the game within 24 hrs.
Creating your own backup yes, downloading isn’t quite the same, it remains kind of grey.
Honestly I’m yet to come across any such restrictions against it; especially since not everyone is familiar with backing up games from the disc directly (though it’s quite easy with the right software). As long as a single license is being used at any given time, I think it’s fine. But if for example someone were to download a copy and play it, while his brother or whatever took the original and played it simultaneously, that would be illegal because of duplication of license.
The problem comes to hosting. How can you justify hosting a ISO/ROM download/torrent?
Yes it is a backup, but it is a backup of a license that anyone can access at any given time, even when you already have original (I say that because on consoles the DRM works on another level per say, so
differentiating a original license for another one gives it another
dimension on the discussion I think).
That’s why I’ve made the previous comment, dumping your ROM/ISO/BIOS is within legality, but downloading not much.
Okay, so there are two things to consider here: hosting and downloading. Here’s my perspective:
Hosting: Hosting torrents is perfectly legal I believe. Hosting torrents of copyrighted material is questionable; since the host is not in the wrong for merely allowing access to the torrent. However the peers who share the copyrighted material via the torrent are obviously wrong since they are duplicating the license. So there’s that.
Downloading: Now downloading maybe legal or illegal depending on the content in question. So assuming someone owns a valid license to a game, he can go ahead and download a digital backup copy for personal use without any legal baggage because he is essentially creating a backup copy for personal use. But the “gray area” as you say comes in when the download sources (in this case the peers) are duplicating the license by sharing “their” licenses with you. Since you as a downloader cannot be certain if someone on the peering side is or isn’t infringing copyright, you aren’t really to blame if you are simply “downloading” and not “sharing” at the same time. I believe this is the principle on which most proper emulation sites operate, but at the same time it’s a contentious issue for copyright holders because most peers are indeed duplicating licenses without permission. In other words, you yourself can legally be in the clear after downloading, provided you have a a valid license. The problem is on the peering side and with the manner in which the source material was duplicated, and the nature of the download channels as well.
That’s what I’m into, whose license are you sharing/hosting?
There’s no “universal backup license”, unless we consider physical media, which doesn’t hold the license itself (at least on consoles) right? So creating the image/rom dump is essentially creating a backup, which is fine.
But then, when you host it, on a site or a torrent, even though it’s not a license, anyone with access and without having a license it (buying) and without giving money back to the Copyright holders, can download it and play at will.
How can you say that it is just a backup? If it is just a backup, it is yours to keep, the moment someone else has access to it at will (without having a license) things get a little murky I think.
Correct, I believe the murky part is in the host-downloader relationship itself! If I “host” it (as in act as a peer), then I am most certainly in the wrong for allowing other people to access what was meant to be for my personal use and I can no longer seek protection under the context of “backup”. But if I “download” the hosted content while having a valid license then I’m not necessarily breaking the law because my own license isn’t being duplicated. However, the caveat here is that I would no longer be able to use my original license if I intended to use this “downloaded” backup henceforth, because I’m entitled to a single license at any given time; unless of course I’ve bought the game multiple times.
I have allways said that PIRATE console games, but I buy Pc games!
And you know as well as me that you pirate them to. so GTFO you RETARED DIPSHIT!!
Lol, no I don’t. And the fact that you started acting like a baboon screeching and howling pretty much proves my point about you being mentally inferior.
Bla bla bla…Keep on LYING you cheap BAS*ARD!
Poeple here knows you under another name, and it’s a well known fact that you promote piracy, even on the Pc!
So you go on with your BS morally, we KNOW you are LYING you RETARDED F*CKR!
Really? Oh please tell me more about the juicy bit where I promote piracy under another name. Minus the “ook ook eek eek” screeching please. And if you can do it without the improper use of capitalization this time, I’ll give you a banana.
Chill dude me for instance I own tons of games but I also pirate games i.e when I think that the particular game doesn’t worth the money but still want to have some time with it. Illegal or not I care less.. If we want to be so moral lets start with other more basic principles in everyday life first and then in a better society we can stop pirating games as well 😛
Here’s a question… if you don’t think a game’s worth the money, why do you still want to “have some time with it”? And you said you couldn’t care less. Whether you care or not has nothing to do with my comment unfortunately.
The answer is obvious yet you cannot see. When I pay a game with money which have been worked and I mention that because it is important, I expect something to justify the amount spent, not a broken game , without finishing the game in 5 hours and goes on. So it comes to my personal judgement to categorize the “X” game as a not qualified game to spent money on. This does not have to do whether I would like to spent some time with the game without spending money. Since I did not pay money I can fool around some time for sure. I prefer to save those money to pay my bills, my rent go for lunch with my wife etc. This is one reason behind how I see it. I don’t expect anyone else to accept that I just mention it since I would like to tell you or anyone who asks that is not just black and white. Whether you accept that or not is optional.
Oh I do see your reasons. More importantly, what I DON’T see but would rather is how that justifies piracy. It justifies your own motives. It answers “why” you pirate. And frankly, I don’t care “why” you pirate. My issue is with piracy itself. You might have the noblest reason in the world to validate your actions, but it doesn’t change the nature of the act.
In fact, I see you mentioned about spending that saved money by having lunch with your wife. You’re spending money to have lunch because you would be caught if you tried to leave without paying for your food. You just don’t see the issue with piracy because no one is there to catch you in this case. In other words, if you “could” have lunch for free (just like you do for games) you would have, regardless of morality.
Your reasoning of the matter is flawed or incomplete and I will explain. You raise philosophical issues and we can debate for hours. First I am not a defender of piracy I am just trying to explain to you that the term piracy is not just a “dead” term it has human beings involved and that raises so many factors and why an individual is pirating a game! For instance the term “killing” if that is another human or an animal by an intelligent person or by spiritual people is something wrong. But when this applies into real life with the countless variables there exist some “noble” reasons to do that. I am against promoting or using violence but once in my life I had no other option to avoid that and I became an animal myself and was violent. Does that make me violent?
I explained you why I some times pirate a game. Ok take that now and apply it on having a lunch on a restaurant. If I receive a plate that has a fly inside or its something that should not be eaten and offends me as a person because I am paying for that lunch I will raise my voice and of course will not pay for that lunch. Of course I will not eat it because playing a game with bugs that I refuse to pay in the end and eating a meal with fly in it is something completely different. Another real life example. We were eating Mexican and ordered two Margaritas. Before the waiter leaves the table I changed my mind and asked for a frozen one. The waiter said sorry I don’t know if I can cancel that because I sent the order in the kitchen through my PDA. He asked and told me sorry we can’t change that. For me that was absurd. I didn’t accept the Margaritas the manager came and I refused to pay and drink something that I don’t want. Frozen Margaritas came free of charge.
Alright, I’ll try and clarify some pertinent things in this comment, and in order to do that I’ll quote some sections from your comment and address them as I go along. This might be a bit long, but I’ll try to keep it compact nevertheless. So moving on:
“I am just trying to explain to you that the term piracy is not just a
“dead” term it has human beings involved and that raises so many factors and why an individual is pirating a game!”
— I get that and completely sympathize with the “human” aspect of needs and desires. But you’re still revolving around the concept of “why”. And I mentioned before that the “why” isn’t really important here; it’s the end result that matters. If we were to discuss the pros and cons of “why”; your arguments can and will vary wildly from that of another individual. Hence you cannot use the “motivation” as a justification of an act in absolute terms.
“But when this applies into real life with the countless variables there exist some “noble” reasons to do that.”
— Yes the reasons may be very noble, but killing is still killing. You’re alluding to the concept of “necessary evils”. And such evils, while necessary, are still evils. Unfortunately, piracy is by no means a necessary evil, so you cannot relate it to killing by any means when discussing “necessity”.
“once in my life I had no other option to avoid that and I became an animal myself and was violent. Does that make me violent?”
— No it doesn’t. Human beings are emotional; they do things impulsively. Does that make them bad? Not at all. But… what if a person continues with it? Seemingly thinking that just because no one told him anything the first time around, he is completely free to be as violent as he wishes? Do you see where I’m going with this? Piracy is a perpetual issue; not a one-time issue.
“I explained you why I some times pirate a game.”
— You did, and I have no problems with your reasoning, because like I said I’m not concerned with “why”, but what. At the end of the day you are getting something for free: something that was meant to be purchased and hence reward the creator’s hard work. And honestly I feel nowadays there are lots of ways in which you as a customer can make informed purchases without resorting to any form of theft.
“If I receive a plate that has a fly inside or its something that should
not be eaten and offends me as a person because I am paying for that lunch I will raise my voice and of course will not pay for that lunch. Of course I will not eat it”
— Exactly, see what you just said? Let me put it in quotes…..”I Will Not Eat It”. If there is a fly in your soup, you will refuse to eat it and ask for a replacement. Now let’s apply it to games… if a game doesn’t work for you, then you can refund or return it within an acceptable period. You can’t pirate the game, play it fully, and then say you don’t like it. That’s the same as eating the food with the fly in it and then complaining there was a fly in it. Do you see the problem? Now let’s take your next example.
“For me that was absurd. I didn’t accept the Margaritas the manager came and I refused to pay and drink something that I don’t want.”
— Yes but did you drink the original margarita that wasn’t frozen? From what you said I’m assuming the manager came in and replaced the original margarita with a frozen one. So technically you got only one margarita because you paid for only one margarita. The original margarita was taken away and not provided to you. If this is indeed the case then it’s the same for games. If you don’t like a game (within the return period), the seller takes back the original and offers you another, or refunds your money otherwise.
As for the first part I agree even though I see it from the “why” view mostly and from my personal perspective. I get caught as you said sympathizing the human aspect of desires. The end result is the same. You play something that you didn’t pay even though this product was accessible by payment only.
The second part is killing a “necessary evil” when you are the defender? Who defines if it is right and wrong the moment you are attacked and defending your life if you don’t have another option and kill the attacker? I don’t see that as an “evil” or “wrong” option at all. The comparison of killing and piracy cannot be related though yes that is true if we analyze it as you did.
Piracy is a continued issue indeed. It is not a one time issue. I see where you were going with this.
Yes of course we can make informed purchases even if we don’t I believe at least on PC i.e. Steam you can ask for a refund if you find the game has technical issues or other issues that you don’t feel happy about as long as you are not abusing the refund policy.
As for the last two parts yes I get what you say and you assumed correctly about the margarita. I think I mentioned somewhere that I am not defending the “piracy” issue I just mentioned from my experience how I see it and what I do and believe that not everyone acts the same. Your reasoning came and explained that its not the “why” but the result that matters and I can’t disagree. I hope I could handle the English language easier in order to have a much better conversation.
I just hope one thing that gaming developers start respecting gamers/consumers and deliver quality games in every aspect and stop choosing the easy path for money and then maybe gamers will decide not to choose the path of piracy. That will be the best for all.
“Who defines if it is right and wrong the moment you are attacked and
defending your life if you don’t have another option and kill the
attacker”
— Yes, that’s why it’s called a “necessary” evil. Killing is wrong, but killing in self-defense might be necessary. That’s what I meant.
” I hope I could handle the English language easier in order to have a much better conversation.”
— No it’s absolutely fine. I think you managed to understand what I was trying to convey regarding piracy and how it cannot be an excuse.
“I just hope one thing that gaming developers start respecting
gamers/consumers.”
— I agree. It’s the responsibility of developers to deliver a quality product in the same way it’s the responsibility of the consumer to pay for it.
I don’t say that piracy exists for my reasons haha but don’t attack people that pirate games placing them under a banner “piracy is wrong” and judge them because you have came to an understanding that piracy is wrong and there no single reason to “justify” pirating a game.
No respect for nintendo, NEVER
Quite nice to be able to play such classics like zelda and mario!
I hope this emulator can run Fatal frame 5
What puzzle’s me the most is the dolphin team said this was impossible
