==In competitive play==

Due to being the original hardware the game was designed for, the Wii U is the preferred system to play {{Forwiiu}}, especially in tournaments. For the first time since the GameCube being incompatible with N64 controllers and games, Wii U games were not made compatible with its successor, the Nintendo Switch, forcing players with physical copies to only use the Wii U. While emulators exist, they sometimes possess bugs and performance issues not present on Wii U. However, the isolated existence of the game, the DLC of the game being unavailable legitimately as of March 27, 2023, and the poor sales of the Wii U have forced the competitive scene to consider and experiment with these alternatives before the game becomes unplayable, and emulation developers have made great strides in making a nearly identical experience, though this scene is far more niche than other games in the series.

With the [[Nintendo Network]] being shut down on April 8th, 2024, soon, emulation will be the only option for [[online play]].

An additional hurdle that only exists for the competitive scene is that the [[Wii U GamePad]] is required to be within a certain radius for the console to function. Due to these GamePads being difficult to replace, the Wii U is arguably at the highest risk of becoming unplayable.
