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.


i use my PSVita more than my Wii U and my iPhone/pod :)


The Vita is amazing. I love the Vita :).


The Vita is a really cool handheld in a general sense, the only thing bringing it down is the lack of games. While there is a pretty large library in Japan there isn't much over here

TDZN Why doesn't Nintendo just give up already?


They have a small but loyal fan base I'm guessing that's why they still do it.

Why would they just want to just up and quit after they have put so much work into making their company rise up? Yeah Nintendo is having a rough time with the Wii U sales but they shouldn't give up, they should try and better themselves so it doesn't happen again.
