Better than the Ps3 firmware updates, which does nothing to improve the overall console.

Really the next 4.40 update on the PS3 allows downloading from the PS Store webpage on the PS3.

Something the 360 has had for years?

that's encouraging. I really hate to navigate the system atm, hopefully this fixes that once and for all.

Doesn't change the fact that it's an improvement does it?

After the download is installed it credits $350 back into your bank account and apologizes.

would be cool for Nintendo to give me $350 for free.

No, but it's the fact you're trying to claim ownage on something incredibly old.

It's about time the load times even between UI features are ridiculous. This a step in the right direction.

A step in the right direction. I wonder if they will ever allow us to use vc games(gb,gbc,gba,nes and snes) on 3ds and wiiu without having to re-buy the games for each system. It really shouldn't be an issue.

I'm hoping for that too.

I'd like for the eShops on the WiiU and 3DS to be more unified.

I mean you can find 3DS games on the WiiU's shop. (can't buy them of course, but they're there.)

Tell me about it! I have $4 on my 3ds wallet and $15(if I remember correctly) on wiiu.. pretty annoying that if I want to get something for the 3ds I would have to add more money... and having to decide which system to buy a vc game for is lame...gbc,gba,nes and snes games should be playable on both systems. :x :P

Im pretty sure Nintendo is trying to unify their systems. I can see the 3DS getting MiiVerses soon. Once they get everything on the same level (this should have been done already) we should have a unified account also.

Still too slow compared to other things, but its even more tolerable now.

Then again I thought the original wait time wasn't that bad considering I don't go to apps or jump around all the time on it.

Wondering what the patch notes are. Hopefully this is spread throughout the OS and they have other minor improvements to Miiverse and such.

Some other major things I would like covered is a save/copy data feature with folders, integration of a few of their apps, and a better account system not tied to your console. Hopefully the two updates alleviates some of the concerns.

Yeah a lot of people made a big deal out of it, even though it was nothing.

Not many improvements are left to be done on near-obsolete software that has been continuously updated for 6 years.

Did this increase the Wii U by 125%?
