2 ⅓ Wii U game pads tall!

Do whatever you wish with this information

Wii U WUP-901 kiosk image dump (2024 update edition)
I looked into it again, for the first time in a couple years, and found some info I hadn't seen before (and some actually recent info from 2024)
console #1 (and gamepad)
source 1: https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/698-official-wii-u-demo-kiosk-thread/page/2/#comment-172471 source 2: https://www.amibay.com/threads/wii-u-kiosk-console-and-pad.120329/
info
info posted by user "itdoesntmatterwhatthissays" (aka "itdoesntmatter")
Obtained from a guy who used to work in a game shop, in the UK. Probably was in a kiosk at one point.
"It doesnt have any demos on it ... but it does play, look, act like the retail version ..."
"in order to switch the pad on, you need to press a button on a cable which switches on the gamepad."
"... this one comes with a 32gb HDD ..." (note: I believe that's actually just a standard 32GB NAND.)
I suspect the model number is WUP-901(03), but that's just speculation, filling in the blanks as best I can, and corroborating with info on the following unit...
console #2 (and gamepad)
source: https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/698-official-wii-u-demo-kiosk-thread/page/2/#comment-395341
info
info posted by user TypForte
Console appears to behave the same as retail, and reads retail PAL games via the disc drive. Which is to say, it doesn't have an HDD.
This is my first time seeing a WUP-901 as a set, complete with its original full kiosk. So if nothing else, now I have an idea of what to maybe look for to try and spot more WUP-901 consoles in photos online.
console #3 - WUP-901(02)
source: https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/wii-u/rare_wup-90102_model_-_need_information
photos posted by user gbbeil. this doesn't really give us much of any further insight, but I figured I should document it anyway.
additional notes
TypForte also mentioned they saw an auction online, with the following text:
"Standard wii u console and kiosk edition wis-003 gamepad Rare! Main console is WUP-901 (03) it has the kiosk switch behind (with the led blue light) used to power on off the console. Has some marks and a dent in back of game pad from me removing the lock as lost the key. I’ve tried to upload as many pictures as possible. Happy bidding! Note!!!....The main console is not a kiosk edition the gamepad is, still very unique and a rare piece to own. As far as I’m aware the wis-003 gamepad is compatible with the wis-001 console but can be used with any wii u."
That suggests the WUP-901 (03) consoles were paired with WIS-003 gamepads. This info is a bit dubious though, so take it with a grain of salt.

This is so old the switch didn't exist yet!
Jerry’s parents are staying over for New Years. Jacob is with them too. He’s nice. Morty and I have been playing a lot of Splatoon again recently.

pmd explorers with composite video shaders hits different if im quite honest with you
#soda offers you a can#pmd eos#like i absolutely and wholeheartedly understand that this is Not how this game was ever intended to look#like the only easy way to play this on a tv is with the wii u vc and wii u doesn't do composite video#so you'd have to go through some hoops to get that to look anything like this#and even then the gamepad is the touch screen so i don't think you could even get it to look like this#but like. in my heart this could be real#and retroarch lets me make it real :)

I was pretty good and it makes me so sad it isn't in the city for splatoon 3 :( It was so good to pass time with!! Bring it back nintendo let me game
#splatoon confessions#splatoon 2#i liked being able to play the games on the wii u gamepad while waiting for queue

A bunch of folks kept saying the Wii U is dead because Xenoblade Chronicles X is finally being ported to Switch.
In response, I spent my free time demonstrating why Switch ports are different experiences than playing on a Wii U gamepad.

Unreleased Wii U gun peripheral
I love that this was at one point a thing.
#Nintendo#Wii U#Thought I don't know how I feel about how the gamepad is attached??#Is it plugged into that port on the bottom that went completely unused on the final version?#Is it just balancing??#both of those sound like it would fall off easy

Nintendo was so stealthy with the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition announcement that I didn't find out for 24 hours
but now I'm hyped as fuck and it comes out right around my birthday!!!
#i always had hope. i knew they'd port XCX to Switch eventually#i haven't played XCX since it came out; i loved it#curious how they're gonna work the wii u gamepad stuff into the Switch port. menu overlays prolly

gamepad #9
source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlZ4_oA1pHI posted by user Nites
these are screenshots taken from the video. the video itself will also be archived on google drive, and probably archive.org at some point
i also took the best screenshots i could get of the "FLASH VIEWER" menu, and did a small restoration using GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). not sure if this is a significant discovery.
