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.

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

Goblin- WiiU is so pointless. Nintendo may have been good back in the day, but now they are just trying to compete with Microsoft and Sony which will never happen.

They are starting to pull stuff out of nowhere which is somewhat pointless


Yes ive said this before Wii have no chance competing with Sony And Microsoft. To me Wii comes out a little kids console now....


In the console market hell no. Ninteno has no chance. Especially if they keep making consoles like this one xD
