Enjoy board games and mini-games on the TV, play familiar tabletop games using the Wii U GamePad Controller, or transform your living room into a game show floor. No matter what kind of party you're throwing, Wii Party™ U offers something for everyone. Bundled with a Wii Remote Plus controller and stand at a suggested retail price of $49.99.

Features:

Everyone at the party competes with his or her own Mii characters in a medley of party games. Experience new ways to play with others using the Wii U GamePad. For example, in "Lost-and-Found Square," imagine you are the person holding the GamePad and you are lost in a playground. Your goal is to describe your surroundings based on what you see on the GamePad in order to help the other players find your location. Post your impressions of game sessions to Miiverse™. You can rate your performance by adding a one- to five-star ranking after the match is over. When you want to leave the TV behind, you can choose to play exclusively on the Wii U GamePad with an array of 15 tabletop games, ranging from foosball to baseball, for two-player competitive and cooperative play. In addition to the main games that everyone can play together, there are 80 minigames that can be played on your own. These include Tabletop Minigames that can be played with the Wii U GamePad only.

Known Issues

-As of version 2.0-89 this game will crash upon trying to enter the remote select screen for any gamemode. Use any version below 2.0-89 to avoid the game crashing.

- The Minigames "Big-Bang Blasters" and "Speed of Sight" softlock the game for about a minute before going to the player results screen. WORKING ON USA VERSION

- The minigame Apple Scramble runs very poorly resulting in slow gameplay, bad audio quality and gameplay bugs and glitches. Getting hit by a rolling spike ball results with you (or other players) with the inability to continue to play during the duration of the minigame. The title will continue to run fine again once the minigame ends.

- Mii characters occasionally have corrupted face textures

- (Fist time boot on Vulkan graphics API only). If no compiled shaders are available the first time Wii Party U starts, then Mii faces have trouble being rendered the first time they are rendered if the shaders are compiled asynchronously ('Async shader compiled' enabled in settings). Restart the title to fix it

Configuration

- Cemu doesn't provide any graphic packs for the game, so here are the links to them: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_kW2PS0VuEopdwK3QuhcABrPn_1AIaX1?usp=sharing (ONLY FOR USA VERSION)

Graphical glitches are very common, some minigames softlock forcing you to manually quit them, and a few game modes softlock in the same way and sometimes even just straight up crash Cemu entirely. It's a very mixed bag of compatibility. Even still, I would say that it runs better than it did before.

Only buggy minigame is Apple Crashers, which is practically unplayble. Opening cutscene is glitchy, gameplay slow and glitchy, runs at 5-10 fps, also audio is very slow and buggy. Gamepad games work fine except for spot the sound (microphone). Wii remote emulation works just fine with candles or usb sensor bar, along with app or driver such as touchmote. Miis occasionally missing textures, doesn't affect gameplay tho.
