Wii U Support
3/12/2024
Hello everyone! I have decided to begin building the Website to support the Wii U Web Browser, this will be going over why I decided to, and how.
Why?
My biggest project currently is the Bandwidth Comic. Most of the traffic comes from the Pretendo discord and, subsequently, Juxtaposition, a Miiverse recreation for the Wii U and 3DS. As a Cool gimmick, I designed the website to have a Wii U version so everyone on Juxtaposition can access the Bandwidth comics without getting off the Wii U console.
I already have the know-how to support the Wii U, and this Website is not designed to be all fancy with animations. It would be a missed opportunity not to add support for Wii U for all my web pages. That way, my content has more reach to other people.
How will it work?
Currently if you're viewing this on a modern web browser, you would use the Navigation Bar to... Well, navigate the website. Certain code like this would not work on the Wii U Web Browser.
The solution? Navigate through links. The Wii U Browser can be navigated around perfectly fine through button links. You will see this on almost every page. There will be a bottom section dedicated in Redirecting you back, or to the Wii U's home version of the Website.
Additionally, any page that's not designed to be viewed on Wii U will have a way to be redirected to the Wii U homepage. That way, if someone Navigates to the website by typing the site's URL in the Wii U, they will easily reach the correct part of the site. I'm also still testing different parts of the site, such as YouTube embeds, which will allow it to work on Wii U without issue.
