Wii U gets organized with folders in latest update

4.5
Much like a prospective office assistant, Nintendo's Wii U can now put "good organization skills" on its resume. Thanks to a new system update this week, the console will now allow players to sort their home screen icons into folders. The Wii U menu also added a download management icon in the latest update and updated the home menu's layout.

The system's quick start menu, which was added this summer to cut down on the Wii U's boot times, also received two small changes in the firmware update. The menu will now display when the Wii U is powered on from the GamePad's TV remote menu. Additionally, players can choose software to hide from the quick start menu in the system's power settings. The console manufacturer was a little slower to learn icon management this time around; Nintendo added folder sorting to the 3DS just over a year after the system's launch compared to nearly two years after the Wii U arrived.

This is really great for people who cant find stuff. Like -Swift said you can make folders of the genre of the game.

Good for the Wii U owners. My little sister has one but she probably won't benefit from this at all.

OPPosted:

-Swift This is actually a cool idea, You could have folders for different genres. For instance sports, shooters, etc.

I feel every console should have this.


yes, obviously i dont play wii but i would like this on my xbox one.
