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.

It's very underrated imho
Wii-U deserves waaaay more buzz than it does right now. Although the games are under-par some good titles are released every now and then, which is nice.

I don't know anyone with a Wii U. Seems like Nintendo are going down, all kids want to play nowadays is shooting games. What happened to Mario, Sonic and Pokemon, lol.

The wii u is kind of a flop. I hope they step it up and release something better than this.

Frog It's a shame how unpopular this console has been, I love Nintendo for the childhood they gave me but they really need to start creating content people actually want in Europe and America...


nintendo used to be good before they decided to make consoles


Nintendo started making consoles in 1985.. they have been pretty good since then if you ask me.

this. they have been making hit consoles for a very long time. since gaming reallly started to take off. Since then people have been wanting performance and graphics and not a kick back and relax console anymore. hopefully they cn turn it around and make an impact on the "hardcore" gamong community which seems to be thriving the most in this generation.
