Wii U allgedley hacked, playing copied games possible

Wiikey, the same group behind Wii’s first mod chip, has allegedly hacked the Wii U.

An announcement on Wiikey’s website reads:

“Yes, its real. We have now completely reversed the WiiU drive authentification, disk encryption, file system, and everything else needed for this next generation K3y. Stay tuned for updates!”

Tangible evidence of the hack has yet to surface. Additionally, assuming Wiikey was successful, the implications may not be as severe as you would initially think.

Currently, it’s also possible to play copied games. The hack doesn’t allow for homebrew, region-free gamings, or in-game cheats.

Nintendo will likely choose to address Wii U vulnerability concerns through future Wii U firmware updates.
