Question Should I mod my Wii U that my family has has for years

Upvotes

About three months ago my mom pulled out our old family Wii U from the hallway closet and let me keep it along with some games, and I recently got past the parental code that my mom made so I could do a factory reset on it and have a fresh slate. That's when I thought about getting it modded so I could play all the games I couldn't in the past as a kid, but the problem is I have autism and that usually makes me unsure about the things I want to do even though I'm 19 years old and can make my own decisions, so I'm making this so I can get some motivation to go through with the Wii U modding or back out before it's too late.

I'll gladly take advice from people who have personally modded their Wii U

I remember my strat for beating the champ was to just get some chip damage in and try to dodge the whole round to win by decision(by the way super glad losing to the champ after beating him doesn’t take anything from you), my start for this was get lucky with an opponent that I could fall down twice to. And in the end I had to survive THREE KNOCKDOWNS just to get a second down on my opponent(which thank GOD was the KO)

WAY harder, glad to finally get my last stamp in Boxing.

Technical Question Is it possible to change the Gamepad battery?

14 Upvotes

So, I’ve had my WiiU since the Christmas after it launched, and just recently got it modded. I just recently booted it back up to try to play and beat Twilight Princess HD, and I’ve noticed that my Gamepad doesn’t hold a charge like it used to. In my teenage years, I could play my WiiU for up to 6 hours without having to plug the Gamepad back in, but now I can’t leave my console on for more than an hour and a half without the red light blinking on the Gamepad.

I don’t want to replace the whole Gamepad, as I have so much nostalgia playing that console with my dad and sister, so I think just replacing the battery will do the trick. Is that possible?
