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.

Bias This is what Nintendo needs to do to improve sales.


Well i sapose it might help, but they need to do alot more than just speeding it up...


It won't do anything to the sales honestly

Onitehcamper Well, at least something good for the Wii U


Still don't contend to buy even though its a good thing


I will never buy this console oll


If they released one with a bigger hard drive I would consider it. But until then I don't see the point.


Well on the wii you dont really need a big harddrive cause theres hardly any games on their store anyway so you probably wont use it all.

Wooble Why put another wii out there if everyone hates the wii and the 720 and ps4 are coming soon


The Wii is the best selling console ever and outsold PS3 and 360 by over 30 million,so it can't be hated that much... unless you count the 10 or so fanboys on here that seem to be really upset that it's better than their RROD 360 and it's endless supply of same old FPS games that they wish were half as good as PC :)
