How to play Wii U games on PC

  1. Get the game files from a copy of the game you own. Check each project's page for the version it needs.
  2. Download the port from its project page. Every card above links to the port's page on PlayPorted, which links to the project.
  3. Point the port at your game files the way its project page describes.

Some ports take a long time to reach a release, and how they are made explains why. Decomp vs recomp covers the difference.

Questions

Is this emulation?

No. Each port is the game rebuilt as a native program, so it runs without an emulator.

Do they work on Steam Deck and Linux?

3 of these ports ship for Linux, which is what Steam Deck runs. Check each port's page for its systems.

What about Mac?

5 ship for macOS. Check each port's page for its systems.

Can I download the games here?

No. PlayPorted links to the projects and never hosts game files. Every port needs game files from a copy you own.
