I love the challenge of modding and hacking system to either repairing them or running any software you can put on it. It also helps make a discountinued console more relevant like the Dreamcast and PSP other than trekking to find games for it.
I hacked a Wii U recently and it's probably the best experience I've had with a hacked console. Not only do I get all the perks of Wii U homebrew like the stellar virtual console injections, even if it's quite a bit more of a pain than the 3DS, due to needing to find the right base VC game, hoping this gets cracked to a level like the 3ds eventually, but I can also use all the Wii homebrew, including stuff like Nintendont to play Gamecube games, and I can play Wii games with HDMI compared to my old AV outputting Wii.

The Wii U may have sucked in terms of the base product, but once you crack open the thing I daresay it's Nintendo's best console due to how much it can do. Not to mention if you already have a regular capture card (which I do), and already have a Wii U or can find a good deal, it's the best way to capture DS footage without emulating on PC (Which is good, but using a mouse is a pain in the ass for more touch oriented games) or shelling out for a 3DS capture card (expensive up the ass).
Great to know. Even though I am glad good amount of games were able to be on the Switch, I really want a new project to tinker with and that sounds like it would be fun to do.
