Seriously though, have you thought about homebrewing your Wii U so you could do fair-use backups of your Nintendo optical disc games and emulate them for the lulz?
No. I don't feel like homebrewing my Wii U at the moment. As for an original Wii, that's another story. If I ever want to truly back up my Wii Shop library, homebrew will be necessary at some point.
Truth be told, I'm still on the fence regarding soft-mods for game consoles. It's true soft-mods can open up a whole new world of games and indie development, but another part of me still wants to "play by the book" so to speak. I'm between a rock and a hard place at the moment and with my limited funds, I'm limited as to how fast I can acquire hardware I'm willing to soft-mod. The tax refund income won't last forever, so I'll have to pick and choose my purchases carefully, or at the very least, attempt to.

It is. It's a new-old-stock Yobo "GN Twin". I already have a GN Twin, but for some reason, games with save chips don't function properly. I had an even older GN Twin back in my college days and it was able to play battery-backed games fine AFAIK.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
