I was saving up to get a Wii U and use Loadiine, not gonna lie...
But today I saw there was a CEMU update available, and I didn't think highly of it, before that, I thought it was foolish to think I would be able to run any Wii U game, I thought even the most basic of stuff would lag like all hell.
But for some reason, I couldn't help but turn on my computer and download CEMU, I then rushed to a ~Insert very nice rom site here~ and downloaded the smallest game I could find, and that was Shovel Knight, only 150mbs.
Took 7 minutes to download and I was anxious, I don't know why, I just was.
So I booted up CEMU and ran the game, menu was 60FPS, I was still in a "Meh" state. The start a new game part was a bit glitchy ( The health bar was on the wrong place ), but I insisted and started it up.
And boy was I in for a ride.
The game was running at 60FPS, there, silky smooth 60FPS on my 1080p screen.
It was running the same as it does in the Steam version and I was surprised, very very surprised.
Of course it's just a bloody 2D game but still, it is a game, it's a Wii U game running in my computer.
I mean, I know, I may be making this a little bit over-dramatic but it's just that since 2014, I thought Wii U emulation was for those people that had NASA computers and went to work with a Ferrari, but nope, even my modest I3 with an HD Graphics 4000 can run it, even if it is a game that's not very resource demanding.
Now what changes for me? Everything ( just kidding ).
Now instead of saving up R$1400 to get a Wii U, I'll save up R$2500 to get a decent PC in at least 2 years from now, I am excited, I can't believe that in the near future I'll get to play the Wii U games I've always wanted to play.
Thank you so much for existing emulation ^^ ( And thanks to the CEMU devs of course. )
