      Where in the Wii U plaza would it fit? I’d like themes too. It seems very un-nintendo to just slap an animated wallpaper with sounds and have the Mii’s run all over it. They’re probably considering this as we speak.

      1. I’m think they could add certain designs to change the movement of the Miis and stuff to interact with certain theme exclusive objects. (like trees for example) Nothing I’m waiting for, but could be neat!

      Why you gotta steal my name though?!?!?!?

      I think I’ll just make a WordPress account now.

    Just got the update today and the new layout configs are a nice touch. Looking forward to putting the amiibo settings to good use – especially once I get an amiibo (Fire Emblem) for the Code Name game.

    1. Actually since the last two updates I’ve noticed that the system runs smoother; before, when I turned on the system I had to wait a fair amount of time to press “A” and begin to play, Now it’s soooo much quicker, so, that has enhanced my user experience
