My programmer roommate and I were harping recently on how terrible the Wii U is for delaying us from starting a game.

Thank the lord.

Shpeshal Nick · Jun 3, 2014

This is the speed up update?

Sweet. Hopefully it's there when I get home tonight.

VideoMan · Jun 3, 2014

'Wii U update version 5.0.0 out now, adds quick start menu and more.'

Nintendo has released a major system update for Wii U, bringing the firmware version up to 5.0.0. One of the major features introduced in todays update is the quick start menu. Players can now more easily begin playing games without having to encounter the menu screen.

What's the more?!

jakomocha · Jun 3, 2014

Thank goodness! The Wii U has crappy loading times, this will hopefully balance that out.

LiK · Jun 3, 2014

Any other details about this update?

TunaLover · Jun 3, 2014

Downloading, I wanted Mortal Kombat X for Wii U u___u

epmode · Jun 3, 2014

One of the major features introduced in todays update

So what are the other major features? Patch notes would be nice.

Clefargle · Jun 3, 2014

Ok, so ready for this! Gonna do a speed test with digital titles on my 1tb drive

narton · Jun 3, 2014

Started the download now. It's 510 MB. 14 minutes ETA.

Isotope · Jun 3, 2014

IT'S HAPPENING.

Mango Positive · Jun 3, 2014

I've had this machine for 4 hours and I still haven't been able to play MK8. I have updated my system twice though!

StreetsAhead · Jun 3, 2014

Sweet! I like WaraWara plaza, but I don't need to see it every time.

FrsDvl · Jun 3, 2014

Nice. It was taking way too long. I can finally jump into Mario kart without waiting an hour.

Exile20 · Jun 3, 2014

iidesuyo · Jun 3, 2014

About time.

muteant · Jun 3, 2014

510MB? how large was the last substantial system update?

KojiKnight · Jun 3, 2014

Nice! Was honestly expecting Nintendo to make a big fanfare about it at E3 and release it shortly after.

If Mario Kart 8 is a disc, I would try inserting it

Most likely have all the updates before this one.

Seems like a pretty decent little update. Was hoping for more, but oh well.

Scum · Jun 3, 2014

Someone chuck in their NA copy of No More Heroes into their EU WiiU and see what happens...

....

BolognaSoup · Jun 3, 2014

This system getting more awesome by the day pretty much at this point.

ThatRandomCliff · Jun 3, 2014

Sweet. I love updating my Wii U. (I seriously do) I loved updating my Wii as well when ever there were updates. You never know what will be in the update. All ways a surprise.

AdanVC · Jun 3, 2014

Really? You were expecting an entire year between feature-adding firmware updates?

jmizzal · Jun 3, 2014

Is this the Summer update?

Especially since we've known it would be out in June for a while.
Still, nice that it was June 2 and not June 30.

This... we've known for over a month that the firmware update would be this month, I just don't think anyone was expecting it at the start of the month.
