That's what happens when you type too fast, I always edit my posts like 2-3 times after I finish them for a reason lol.



nice, i was expecting people to talk about this. It seems no more complaints about Wii U OS hopefully.



I actually wish they could would strip down the OS a little.

I don't think I'll be using background installing so much.

All of the updates sound amazing with of course OS optimization being at the top.



Hopefully the Summer update optimize the console and consumers to have full control of the Wii U without using the Gamepad.

I love the gamepad ,but I miss traditional controller.



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

I'd rather have the addition of folders on the home menu and improved download speeds from eShop.

However, I do find it odd that the OS design wasn't setup in a manner where gamepad and pro controller are automatically tied together.

As an example, take NSMBU. It doesn't work with pro controller. wtf. The SDK should be setup so if a game doesn't require the screen and the user starts to use a pro controller, the best OS simply handles the change. A dev shouldn't be required to do anything but maybe a flag to state if screen is required.



wish we had more virtual console info. isnt it supposed to be the same time as this update?
