I bet it's because it was recently announced that the Mario Maker 1 servers would be shutting down. There's a group called Team 0% that is trying to finish every unfinished level in Mario Maker. There's a push in the community to get everyone to help. I wouldn't be surprised if this person bought a Wii U to help.

Here's a YouTube video about it (2 mins 54 secs)

Fucked locked hardware that's dependent on internet services and proprietary bullshit. There are so many awesome old games from the beginning of the console online multiplayer era that can't be played anymore due to the services not existing.

Long live the Steam Deck, and hopefully more hardware like it. If Valve ever goes down, someone is going to have a replacement alternative recovery image inside a day.
