Wii U gets a minor firmware update

4.7
Nintendo has released another firmware update for the Wii U covering improvements to stability and usability.


The latest update now allows the Wii U to connect to the Nintendo Network while in standby mode, in order to download SpotPass data, system and software updates.

Software updates will install while the Wii U is off, but system updates will complete installation when the console is switched on.

The patch notes point to another update to the system that is expected sometime between late September and early October. This update is said to be larger, with plans to further increase the speed of the system, while adding new features. Details of these new features remain unknown at this time.

Gossip Who still plays Wii U?


No one. They need to give up .


They really do or they just need to start reviving old franchises.


there redeem thereselfs one day just watch :)


Exactly, either come up with some actual good new ideas or bring back the classics.


I've stopped enjoying all Nintendo franchises since the release of the Wii, the motion control destroyed everything.


I wasn't a fan of the motion controls are either. I mostly played GameCube games on the Wii so I was mostly using the GameCube controller.


ya only good game on the wii was mario kart


Super Smash Bros Brawl was also a pretty good game, but I never used the Wii remote to play, always used the GameCube controller because I was more used to it from SSBM.


My favourite game for the original wii was Guitar Hero III World Tour.


Nintendo have fallen now. They did and were good but now they are failing


i have lost my faith in Nintendo seen as the next gen consoles are comming and i don't think they could match it


I'm just keeping this going. Dont mind me.


Yeah the next gen consoles are so much better than this.


The WiiU certainly falls a little short to the Next Generation Consoles due to the lack of games and low hardware specifications. Hopefully the console still appeals to the casual gaming audience though.


It probably does. Its too bad that it does not have a lot of power. Then it could get a bit closer to a next gen console.


The Wii U jumped the gun a little and through that the consoles specifications are far under the PS4 and Xbox One. Hopefully the Wii U can still compete in the market

well I can see them trying to do anything to increase sells for this mediocre system. Nintendo shouldn't have made another family console with all the hardcore gaming consoles out at the moment
