Wii U April update cuts loading time for returning to menu

4.7
The Wii U system update due next month is being touted as a large one by Nintendo, and here's one of the reasons why. As previously indicated, the update increases the speed of returning from a game to the Wii U menu, but this video shows just how significant that speed boost is.

Going by this video, it'll take almost two thirds less time - from around 23 seconds to just 9 - to exit out of a game and return to the Wii U menu following the update.

While we can't test the update for ourselves just yet, we can and did verify the 'before' video's accuracy with our own side-by-side comparison; our Wii U took the exact same time to exit out of New Super Mario Bros. U. So no, no one sneakily pressed any pause buttons.

Buddhism When will Nintendo just give up, they aren't making any ground with this "system"


Yeah they should just give up and stop making useless systems just to get by.


They'll never be able to compete with xbox or ps.


Especially when the consoles they are making are complete sh*t!

They probably will but it doesn't change the fact that its an awful console.


No it really doesn't, Nintendo really do need to give up with this console, and start thinking of something new!
