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.

Why don't they do something to actually make it better. If you set the loading time right the first time, it wouldn't of been a problem. Hopefully the the next update will be a coupon for a Xbox or ps3

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


Well, really the wii is for little kids. I think that most little kids will have a wii rather than and xbox or ps3..

Equalise Either way i still think the WiiU is a waste of time.


Same they should stop working on this and make a new console.


They should definitly stop, I don't think they get much profit out of the Wii U


They don't they should release something people want
