Wii U gets a minor firmware update

4.7
Nintendo has released another firmware update for the Wii U covering improvements to stability and usability.


The latest update now allows the Wii U to connect to the Nintendo Network while in standby mode, in order to download SpotPass data, system and software updates.

Software updates will install while the Wii U is off, but system updates will complete installation when the console is switched on.

The patch notes point to another update to the system that is expected sometime between late September and early October. This update is said to be larger, with plans to further increase the speed of the system, while adding new features. Details of these new features remain unknown at this time.

rainboom I really like the idea of handheld gaming tbh. However, I think i would still use my iPod more than this.


The Wii U was kinda a flop though :/ If you want to get into handheld gaming, get either the Nintendo 3DS or the PSP.

Oasis I joke about Nintendo alot, but people forget they still hold their own piece of the pie, for how long? Who knows.


The 3DS is selling really well and people will go back and buy from Nintendo for years to come either way. Hopefully they stay around for the long term
