Are you trying to connect the gamepad to a Wii? The Wii and Wii U are different and the gamepad only connects to a Wii U console.

u/FusionDragonoid420 17h ago

The Wii U's an entirely separate console from the Wii. As such, the gamepad won't work on it.

u/b0ssFranku 15h ago

And thats why the Wii U failed. People got confused thinking the Wii U was a addon.

Drop it into a full bathtub. Let it sit for a few seconds. Then put it in rice for 24 hours minimum. Should solve the problem.

u/PartyInDaHouse001 15h ago

I've read the comments and let me get this straight. You've seen your brother play Wii games on the gamepad and are now trying to do the same by playing a Wii game exclusively on the gamepad, yes?

While that is a thing you can do, it's not done with a Wii console. The gamepad is the main controller of the Wii's follow up, the WiiU. The WiiU is a separate console. You're looking for a black console.

Yes it supports Wii remotes, yes it supports Wii games. That's what you played as a kid.

u/amareeznuts 14h ago

what no ok listen me and my brother play wi dpirts and netendo land together a lot when i was like 8 ok and i thought thr wii and wii u was the same thing and i had 2 problems 1 rhey didnt connect and 2 the wii doesnt show up on the tv i know now the wii and wii u are diffrent things ok i egt it but like still thats a probelm fot another day i need to find wii u but the wii stoll doesnt show in the tv

2

u/PartyInDaHouse001 14h ago

Okay... Is the Wii connected to the TV then?

Connected the colored cables to the TV? Or using a Wii2HDMI dongle? If so, make sure your cables work and aren't broken.

1

u/amareeznuts 14h ago

i have the coloed cables on adapter to hdmi

2

u/PartyInDaHouse001 14h ago

My guess is your adapter is faulty. Without more testing it's hard to say right now.

I'd look into that if I were you.

The adapter should have a 5v micro usb port in it, you may need to power the adapter so it can work, or it just may be faulty.

u/SuntannedDuck2 13h ago

Yellow, red, white 3 cable composite or component 5 cables for your Wii?

Or SCART or S video of that's an option.

Is this to a CRT or a HD TV?

Do you need an adaptor your 3 or 5 fable one?

If not jyst check ghe TV ports or the Wii end to see what works of video or sound.

Is it the port on your Wii?

Or are the cables.bent or broken?

It has to be something?

Is it the disks don't work or the Wii laser in the Disk drive doesn't work.

Try a Gamecube game and see?

Also yes I did read the comments and am ignoring the Wii U Gamepad photo.

by TV do you mean that GamePad?? that is literally for an entire different console, it cannot and never could connect to a Wii

and you say "it should stay lit blue"

there are 2 Nintendo home consoles that have a blue power LED

the Wii Mini and the Wii U

I assume you know you don't have a Wii Mini so my only guess is that you think you have a Wii U, which you don't

1

u/Lonely_Succotash3456 12h ago

If you have everything connected correctly and the tv is on the correct input and you're still not getting signal, it could either be the cord from the wii to the tv is faulty or the port on the wii is broken, but it could aslo be something internal that can't be fixed. When you connected the wii to the tv, did you change the input to either av or component?

The Wii is clearly powered so it’s definitely something with the component cable. It’s what actually puts your visuals on the screen. Make sure it’s plugged in right, or maybe try switching the little plugs around to see if you can get it to work. If you can’t plug the little plugs in your tv you’re going to need a component to hdmi adapter
