The Wii U console’s first system update of 2016 is now live. The update – version 5.5.1 U – is a small one, bringing with it some unspecified improvements to system stability and usability. According to Nintendo, other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience. The update’s predecessor – version 5.5.0 U – was released last August and removed the Nintendo TVii icon from the Wii U Menu and HOME Menu.
The Wii U’s First System Update Of 2016 Is Now Live
Stability level OVER 9000 yet??
The only “Major” thing needed in an update is fucking Party Chat lol. Iwata said Wii U would get it at some point in the Wii U’s life. But I doubt it now, ever since that Swapnote incident….hopefully Kimishima gives us Party Chat. Whether on Wii U or NX.
I’m guessing the V6.0 update is coming in March, when the new Nintendo account system launches.
“Where are our updated virtual console with GCN games, Nintendo?”
(…)
Yeah, those words have hit the deaf ears of stubborn people.
Nintendo won’t realease GCN games on the Virtual Console because they can just remake them and jack up the price.
You nailed it.
Off topic. But does anyone else think the system is ugly ? Such bad design and having the sync button stand out like that is ugly
The system looks very slick to me and well designed. It’s also has a simple appeal. The sync buttons ‘red’ colour matches the black just fine. If we’re comparing, the PS4 would actually look “uglier” (of course, I’m not saying it’s ugly, the Wii U just looked better designed to me. The PS4, however, has a more unique and memorable design)

Ugh. So boring… Nintendo probably just blocked WiiU homebrew exploit because they pay more attention to that than fans.
i wANT ISOU..
Every time I see one of these update posts, I always hope it’s really some sort of major update like added features or something :( The Wii U still has a lot that it can either improve or add
Why Not add themes? Why not add Group Chat messeging? Why not make miiverse open faster? why not make the menu look better? Why not add in game messeging? There is so much potential for an update but you simply dont care. :(
Let me guess. No party chat, invitations, trophies (yes, I’m warming up to these now after spending a lot of time with my PS4), cloud services for save data & digital purchases, universal account system, etc. *sigh* Nintendo Account better come with some of these fucking things. If they don’t, I guess I’ll just have to go full on with my PS4 til the NX… if even that gets those features! If they can’t do it for free, charge for it, damn it! 30-50 bucks is a small price to pay for some fucking save data security! So tired of losing save data because Nintendo doesn’t want to wake up in the future of gaming out of either stubbornness or sheer stupidity. I’m willing to bet it’s a bit of both, to be honest.
Snooze…..LOL
I bet Nintendo just blocked out a potential Homebrew app, so people won’t be able to mod SSB4 and add Wolf and the Ice Climbers. Can’t they see people are hurting enough? Let Wii U owners have this, because I can’t imagine anything better for 2016.
…and this is why I gave up Nintendo. Nothing can save this piss console if they keep offering nothing.
