Wii U Gets a Surprise System Update, Modders Are Worried
"Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience." Well that was sweet of them. If you're still using your Wii U, then you can look forward to a "more stable" experience next time you boot up.
This update is probably hiding more than the patch notes indicate, though. For some of you, playing on the Wii U is about to be a less-pleasant experience. Typically updates like this are less about improving stability, and more about sewing up some holes that users were exploiting in order to run homebrew and illegally downloaded games on their consoles. Modding the Wii U isn't always all about piracy, by the way, some people genuinely enjoy side-lading interesting software onto the console and modding their games. It's not condoned by Nintendo, of course, but it's certainly not illegal.

I think me and a lot of other's never realised the Wii U was modded, I'm sure it only effected a handful of modder's though

Not a problem, any smart Wii U modder would have turned off auto-download and installed Haxchi

That sucks, now they have to wait for someone to mod this new update xD probably take a while.

Potion If you have Haxchi installed there is nothing to be worried about. If you haven't installed Haxchi or CBHC then it really is your own fault.
Lol I'm waiting to see the uproar this causes.
