One Wii U user (and maybe more) was able to access a Miiverse debug menu of sorts on Wii U. This is something that wasn’t intended to be accessible.

In an official statement, Nintendo confirmed that the “mock menu” was indeed accessed by some users. The issue has since been fixed and can’t be accessed any longer.

“It has come to our attention that some people were able to access a mock up menu on Miiverse following the launch of Wii U in the US. Please note that this was only a mock up menu and has now been removed and is not accessible.”

On the record, Rockstar hasn’t provided an official comment indicating that they are developing Grand Theft Auto V for Wii U. The console, as well as the PC, are both “up for consideration”, however.

Rockstar’s Dan Houser commented:

“Everything else is up for consideration. That’s all I can give you. The main thing is we are not… we are a third-party publisher. We’re not Nintendo, we’re not Sony, we’re not Microsoft. We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever there’s the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market. If that’s on Apple we put something on Apple. Wherever it might be. I think that’s the fun in what we do. We see ourselves as a content company that uses technology. We don’t make it; we use it to make the most fun stuff.”

Reggie acknowledging the “my body is ready” meme? That’s amazing!

Wii U owners who had been hoping they’d be able to log into their Nintendo Network accounts on a different console will be disappointed. The ID can only be used on the original console where it was created.

As has been mentioned in the past, Nintendo has said that you’ll be able to access the account on other devices. This includes PCs and smartphones.

So this is an incredibly peculiar situation. One Wii U owner has seemingly obtained access to some sort of Wii U debug menu, and it contains rather interesting content.

From NeoGAF’s “Trike”:

Well, I was messing around in Miiverse trying to find out how the hell to do the initial set-up of my friends list to no avail. In doing so I accidentally found the “debug” menu on Miiverse. At first I thought, “Hey, neat!” thinking it was just a legit secret or something. I can even access something with the name “prototype” that seems to be the actual prototype Miiverse in Japanese. Apparently John Lennon is still alive and is posting on the Japanese Miiverse. Most buttons that I tried don’t work (Acid_Test?) so I thought, hay, maybe GAF could have fun with this or translate it. That is when I found the admin list.

At first it asked me to sign in, because my login information didn’t match. Then I pressed a button and it sent me to a list of admins anyway. They had buttons in the same row as the names, and I could “regenerate password” or “Delete Admin” or something along those lines. I didn’t do it it because I didn’t want to risk getting my god damn Wii U banned on day 1.

As shown in the gallery above, Trike even managed to come across a list that mentions “Yoshi’s Land Wii U”. Obviously that doesn’t confirm such a game – this is apparently just a debut menu – but man, again, this is all quite interesting…
