NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. U GOES NATIVE ON PC, MAC AND LINUX WITH 4-PLAYER CO-OP
NSMBU Recomp: New Super Mario Bros. U (Wii U) as a native program for Windows, Linux and macOS
The nsmbu-recomp project builds New Super Mario Bros. U into a standalone native executable from your own Wii U copy, with no emulator in between. The release package bundles the runtime, build tools and an installer: on first start it takes your disc image (.wud/.wux plus keys), a Cemu .wua archive or an extracted game folder and builds the game. It supports the USA and Europe 1.3.0 releases, their base discs and the NSMBU + New Super Luigi U combo packs (Japan is not supported yet). Up to four controllers play as separate players, with remappable keyboard and pad controls, TV or GamePad audio output, save states on F1 to F5 and a settings overlay on F12. Mods work on the 1.3.0 update. Releases came fast: v0.6.0, v0.6.1 and v0.6.2 all shipped on 24 October, for Windows, Linux (x86-64 and arm64) and Apple Silicon Macs.
You need: Your own Wii U copy of New Super Mario Bros. U (USA or Europe): a disc image with its disc key and the Wii U common key, a Cemu .wua archive, or an extracted game folder. No game files are included.
