take a lot of it apart to get to the thumbsticks but it's pretty straightforward ironically the worst part about it was the screws usually a disassembly is hard because they don't use screws but nintendo found a way firstly they're those proprietary tri-wing screws but as long as you have a screwdriver for those you should be fine the real problem are these screw covers i've seen these before on the wii and they're just the worst thing if you happened to trim your fingernails recently which i did so they wouldn't look bad on camera they're almost impossible to peel off and even when you do most of the time they end up ruined in the process so they don't stick on properly anymore may as well just leave them off anyways the rest was pretty simple and i was soon down to the thumb sticks and just for fun i thought i'd try some different coloured thumbsticks i still like how my xbox NUMBER_TOKEN controller looks let's pop them on and see how they look yeah i actually like that it's like it's dressed up to be a magician plus it just feels infinitely better anything would have been better than those shredded up old sticks well alright just have to put it all back together i also wiped it down with some windex afterwards to clean off the dust and fingerprints which helped a lot too some of this i don't think i can do much about like the scratches or the other dog bites and the casing but honestly now that the thumb sticks are replaced i think a lot of people wouldn't even notice at least at first i also wiped down the console which was similarly covered in scratches that i don't think i can do much about i'm sure there are ways to improve this but i don't want to resort to sanding or using a magic eraser because i'm worried it'll ruin the console's glossy finish i'm not really familiar with anything else that could help here so i think i'll just leave it at cleaning so with that the wii u is all good to go in my eyes you know the wii u is NUMBER_TOKEN years old next year november NUMBER_TOKEN is when it came out and while it might seem strange to recommend a console that's nearly a decade old i actually think in this case it's more useful now than it was back then sure most of the decent games have been ported to switch by now but they'll always be cheaper on the wii u for basically the same thing a while the switch has seen some modding it hasn't been busted wide open to the same extent that the wii u has honestly for me just getting to play gamecube and wii games natively in hdmi is worth the cost of the wii u especially if you find one cheaper than a gamecube hdmi adapter or a wii hdmi mod so while historically people don't say this very often i think you should get a wii u once again huge thanks to my friend sarah for donating this wii u to me you can go check her out at URL_TOKEN slash a wild fan appeared and as always thank you so much for watching i'll see you all in the next video
