Series s coulf be nice if you have gamepass. On the other hand both the Wii U and PS Vita can be homebrewed.

it can be both, i think you can play up to five players with it but it’s been a long while since five done it so don’t rely on that lol
Edit: forgot to mention that when you switch to Wii mode it behaves pretty much exactly like the Wii, meaning no game pad use sadly, but when using it normally as the wii u you can use whatever you choose

That sounds good, it really is upto you and based on what makes you excited playing games. The wii u has an amazing library of games as well as the vita and modding them are a piece of cake.
The series S is an amazingly small console although all your modern games would need to be digital, and you’d find more value in game pass + emulating in retail mode (I think the dolphin emulator has also just started being ported over to retail mode).
Like I said, both choices are amazing and you just have to choose which makes you happier.

Google hires people to look at suspected websites, and flag them for removal. They get paid based on how many websites they survey. My ex used to do it.

I already got ps2 w/hdd and component cable. I'm going to mod them because it's impossible to find games and they are really expensive+these are old consoles no need to action i think. In the other hand playing Gran Turismo 4 in 1440p would be good. I got 4k TV btw.

I would choose the series s, as much as I love retro devices it’s hard to encourage someone in your position to buy them unless you are going to mod them.
The series s will allow you to play modern games and use game pass. You can also look into emulation using retail mode (legal and no modding required). Have a look into it, atm I can emulate all 16/32 bit consoles all the way upto ps2 (running in 1440p and 3x resolution). It’s insane.

A lot of shite websites just fill pages with search terms to get to the top of Google search results to make more ad revenue, so looking up certain subjects and getting what you actually want is now a pain

It's because Google provides numerous possible answers and that can be problematic. In some cases it can feel like information overload, in others the choice of site to look at can be confusing and overwhelming. Then there's the fact that people often feel they can't trust what they read on a website so they will ask in a place where they feel more comfortable and/or have more trust in the truth of the answers they receive.
I can't tell you why specifically for OP but these are kinds of reasons it happens.

I'll never understand the urge to post this here when the exact same phrase would have given him an answer immediately.

I guess you haven't heard that nintendo is shutting down its server for the Wii U. IMO (who also owns a Wii U) to go and get xbox series S as it will last you atleast 2-3 years or more. Gamepass is also amazing. I tried it and it is fucking amazing. Even though it was pc version still it should be considered. Also the series S is backward compatible

As you have the WiiU, how easy is to play Mario Kart in multiplayer? Do you get split screen, or someone plays in the gamepad and another one with a controller?

I have a DS and it is very nice. Probably a modded 3DS would have been a wiser decision to get, but I do enjoy my DS

Everyone seems to be supporting the WiiU must say. I thought it was a dead system!

I thought the Wii U also allows gamecube games using something called Nintendont?

Can't the WiiU play GC using Nintendont?

What else would you propose?
A playstation 3 with crash team racing?

Mario Kart mostly, I guess that F-Zero from GC will be a plus.
