Wii Street U - Continuing dwyazzo90's work

As you might know, dwyazzo90 submitted a Wii Street U revival project but left it because of technical problems. It was a childhood thing and so I knew what to do.

I’ve reached out to dwyazzo90 and got the source code for Wii Street U’s revival. Much of the credit is his so don’t credit me that much please go and stare at this work for 10 minutes he makes geniunely impressive stuff.

I’ll post updates here sometimes but you can also check the GameBanana page I’ve made. See ya when the thing is done!

This is really great. I never got to experience Wii Street U. If you do know, how will this be released? E.g. plugin, homebrew app, patcher?

Thanks!

Probably as a new version (The whole app) as I don’t know how to make a patcher + the app has been dead for years so I think it’s fine

Thanks, I suppose it would overall be practical to create a new version. :slight_smile:

What the hell is a Wii street U? (Sorry if I made you feel old, it’s just that I didn’t grow up too much with the Wii u)

nostalgia inbound. Anyways, it was a software that was powered by Google Maps for the Wii U that allowed you to navigate the world and even use the Wii Balance Board to walk around places virtually. I remember using it when I was younger and it was extremely cool, but I didn’t ever get to “use it” properly.

The video and wiki explain it properly.

Did an official announce the project’s closure? If so, when?

No, but it has no updates for almost a year

Have any officials from the project been asked why the revival hasn’t been updated for over a year? If so, did they respond?

Damn I wanted to see this work. I forgot about this ngl

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Wii Street U. I watched the trailer for it and damn it looks cool.

The person who was originally working on it is no longer associated with it, and is currently working on 2 big projects, so it’s not worth bothering him. Now, the person who would continue his work just disappeared.

Or maybe it’s just out of curiosity, but, @dwyazzo90 aren’t you now the owner of Project Rose?

He always was to my knowledge? I think he temporarily left the TVii project for a while but came back
