Wii U system update 4.0.2 released

Nintendo says it improves system stability and enhances the user experience

Nintendo has released Wii U system update 4.0.2.

The company says the update makes "further improvements to overall system stability" while "other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience".

An upcoming 3DS firmware update will allow customers to tie their accounts with the Wii U, meaning that digital currency can be deposited and spent through either system.

Due in December, the software update will allow 3DS users to sign into their Nintendo Network ID via the handheld. If users already have an active Nintendo Network ID on their Wii U, these will combine together.

The update will also bring another long-awaited feature to 3DS in the form of Miiverse. Users will be able to post comments and sketches via their 3DS, with the messages appearing on both handheld and home consoles.

Since Wii U's release in November 2012, dedicated fans have urged Nintendo to fuse the console's online network with the 3DS, much in the way Sony has with PS3 and Vita.

Jayden- It's a shame the Wii U isn't as popular as it would have liked to be.

I honestly thought it would have been far more popular - although in saying that it Nintendo does still have a large fan base.


I wish it was popular like the Ninetendo64 was back in the day.

I think that it would be really cool to have a fully connected network with both Mobile and Consoles being able to interchange and maybe even play together. I wonder what exactly changed on the interface to improve the user experience.
