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.

-Mark I wonder how Nintendo is doing.

I barely see anyone buying them or anyone playing them.


I know! I haven't heard anyone talking about them, and never see anything about them, besides on here.


Nintendo is doing good with the 3DS. Pokemon X and Pokemon Y are around the corner and that has a lot of people pumped up for it. Plus some of the games shown at E3 have people hyped about it as well.

Jakeston I've always considered buying this. Still so unsure though :P


Wait until you see some more games that you are interested in then make your decision based on that.


The only kinda good game I played on it is Zombie U. Also the new mario :)

I'm going to buy the Wii U once the new SSB comes out. I haven't played the Wii U yet but I'm sure it wouldn't take me very long to get used to.

TDZN Why doesn't Nintendo just give up already?


Nintendo is a Multi National company that is doing pretty well in the market considering that the Nintendo 3DS is dominating the handheld market with a market share of around 85-87%, it also has an established and loyal Fanbase so they can be ensured that at least some people can buy their games. I think that if Nintendo gets their act together the WiiU still has a chance to become a slight success. I don't really see the reason why the should "just give up already"
