The Nintendo Wii U

The Wii U is an eighth-generation console released by Nintendo in 2012. It is the first console by Nintendo to output to high-definition (HD) resolutions, such as 720p and 1080p. It includes a tablet-like controller, known as the Wii U GamePad, to provide certain additional gameplay. Notably, it can play all Wii games, as well as supporting the Wii Remote controllers for native Wii U games.

Emulators

Literally all sites claiming to provide an emulator for the Wii U are fake. Due to the explanation below, this is unlikely to change within the next 5-10 years. Keep in mind that it takes few minutes to edit a videos to show fake proof of a supposedly-working emulator. Creating an emulator that actually works for such a complex console takes years, if not decades, of effort.

Emulation issues

There are no Wii U emulators. This is due to the fact that this console was only recently released, as well as the fact that the console has yet to be fully hacked. It is rumored that there is a similar level of security in the console as in the Nintendo 3DS, meaning it will also take a while for this to be cracked.

Check back in 10 years or so for anything usable.
