Wii U system update released

4.7
Nintendo has released a new Wii U system update in Europe.

The company says the update makes "further improvements to overall system stability", while "other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience".

A Wii U system update released in July introduced the ability for users to transfer save data for software, Mii characters and user settings from one Wii U console to another.

June's Wii U system update added a quick start menu, in response to frustration expressed by console owners over the operating system's sluggishness.


In late July, Nintendo reported a loss for its first financial quarter despite an increase in Wii U sales during the three months ended June 2014.

Nintendo sold 510,000 Wii U consoles and 4.39 million Wii U games during the first quarter, representing a significant increase year-over-year and quarter-over quarter. It showed that, despite wider money issues, Wii U sales appear to be gaining momentum.

Mario Kart 8 was the company's top-selling Wii U game during the first quarter, shifting 2.82 million copies in just one month of availability following its May 30 release.

Lifetime Wii U hardware and software sales now stand at 6.68 million units and 36.67 million units respectively.

I wonder why this system update was just released in Europe. Anyway, it seems like July's system update was a much better one than this one.

AIL Lets be honest with outselves, I don't think Nintendo will ever pull up to Sony and Microsoft. Unless they have an absolute miracle.


That is true, but the Mario and Super Smash games are the main reason most people get them.
