Two New Updates, Smartphone App Announced for Wii U
« on: January 23, 2013, 10:20:51 AM »

Who's ready for faster start screen loading times?

New enhancements to Wii U and Miiverse were announced during the latest Nintendo Direct.

The presentation revealed that Miiverse, initially exclusive to Wii U, will be made into a smartphone application this spring. Initially, the app will be browser-only, but will expand to support smartphones in the future.

Furthermore, Wii U will gain two system updates in the spring and summer, respectively. The updates will feature a range of functionality, including Virtual Console features and shortening the time it takes to launch software or return to the menu screen.

Miiverse will be much more addictive when I can post from my phone lol a little saddened their not working on faster loading times for now instead of making us wait, but it's not THAT bad anyway so no big deal, just annoying.

EASYCURE: I remember thinking(don't ask me why) this was a blond haired, blue eyed, chiseled athlete. Like he looked like Seigfried before he became Nightmare.

I'm really glad they specifically noted this and a few of the most egregious problems the OS has and their intention of fixing it by summer.

Finally, I have something to do on my Ipad 4!   For the last couple months it's basically just been my $500 comic book reader.

Oh yeah, I know I have 2 sealed copies of that game.   1 is for trading.  But people who collect Amiibos?  They really have a problem!
