Nintendo has uploaded a video to Youtube showcasing one instance of the improved load times scheduled to be included in the upcoming Wii U firmware update. The video shows a comparison video of a person closing a game of New Super Mario Bros. U and returning to the main menu. After the update, it seems to take the system 6 to 7 seconds to fully return to the main menu, which is about a third of the time it currently takes, which is about 21 to 22 seconds.
Watch the video below to see for yourself.
Since I plan to get a Wii U in the next few months (sadly, my financial situation has stopped me from getting one yet), does anyone know if that big day one update will be pre-installed on newer Wii U's?Yep. Sometime in 1st quarter 2013, new Wii U consoles will start shipping with the latest system software (there have been two additional system software updates since the big one on Nov 18th).
And hopefully this firmware update will give people one less thing to criticize about the system.
Awesome. I've been meaning to turn my Wii U on to update Trine 2 (which I don't know how to do yet).

All games/apps on the Wii U automatically check for updates when the game/app is launched (clicking on the icon).That's what I thought, but I tried it when I read the update went live in December or January (it's been so long so I don't remember exactly when it was) and Trine 2 didn't update automatically. I haven't checked since then because I've only turned on my Wii U like 3 or 4 times mainly just to check for Miiverse friend requests so I'm thinking now that the update wasn't available at that moment.
Also, I have seen a noticeable jump in the speed of my 3DS since that system was updated recently. [...] Opening and closing applications and folders also seems to be quicker.
still far too slow, but a BIG and very important improvement and step in the right direction.
I wonder if this update will also address the overscan issue...
Your right. I did not.still far too slow, but a BIG and very important improvement and step in the right direction.
If six seconds is too slow for you, you would've never survived the Sega CD era.
