Forums - Nintendo - Rumor: Big Summer Wii U Update not Coming this Month

anthony64641 on 08 July 2013


A source has stated that we shouldn’t be expecting the big summer update for the Wii U this month. 

The Source said on Twitter:

“Don’t expect the big, exciting Wii U summer firmware update to be coming this month. I’ll leave it at that.”

I never expected the summer update to come this month. I was thinking August for September.

What does the update do?

Isn't August still summer?

Surprised at this, I thought they'd at least try to fix it by the time Pikmin 3 released.

Please Understand :o

I hope this is false, this update need to happen. The browser, eShop and Miiverse act up sometimes which get annoying fast.

Could this be the better use of the systems 2GB RAM that we have been hoping for?

Summer officially ends when fall starts (Sept. 21st), not sure when Nintendo says Summer ends.

The spring update fixed the OS, runs fine now - this one should have the Miiverse drawing app they teased at E3 though which I'm excited about (drawing on Miiverse is pretty cool).

The update could still come before the NA Pikmin 3 release (Aug 4th I think) but I expect it sometime around mid September (Wonderful 101 releases in NA on Sept. 15 so maybe around then).

Im guessing it will be alongside Pikmin 3 and a new ad campaign, so early Aug.

I know nothing about the update, but if an update were to come, I would like:
Message system in friends list: I don't want to open miiverse to message
Navigation of everything in the OS with Wii U pro
Account system
Dual Gamepad support
Update the E-shop
Gamecube on E-shop
