RiiTag is a customizable and dynamic gamertag. By sharing your gamertag (a dynamic image), you can show what you've been playing to your friends! You launch a plugin on your Wii U console, and the tag updates on-the-fly.

What you need

• A device capable of interacting with SD cards
• Softmodded Wii U console
  • If you have not softmodded your Wii U yet, please do so. You cannot proceed without.
• A Discord account
• The latest release of Wii U Plugin Loader
• The latest release of UTag plugin
• The latest release of Flump's Coldboot Haxchi Mod
  • This Coldboot Haxchi mod is used in Section IV. You do not need to download it if you can't use Coldboot Haxchi, or you do not want Wii U Plugin Loader loading on startup.

3. Create a new file titled utag.txt on the root of your SD card, and open it with a text editor.

2. Navigate to, and launch the homebrew application titled Wii U Plugin Loader.
3. You should be greeted with a menu, including a toggle for UTag. Enable UTag, and then press + on the Wii U GamePad. You should now be kicked back to the Wii U Menu.

We will now setup Wii U Plugin Loader to run on startup with your Wii U. This only works if you are using or willing to use Coldboot Haxchi. You will still have to turn on UTag and press + on the Wii U GamePad to be kicked into the Wii U Menu on startup. {: .notice--info}
