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

Conegamer on 09 July 2013

I never expected it to come this month, though...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

For those asking: The update is supposed to improve overall OS speed again. The spring update improved the loading times when getting back to the main menu. This update will make apps start faster. Not sure what else it's supposed to do.

Didn't the spring update include the Virtual Console? If so, I hope the summer update gives us access to Gamecube and Nintendo 64 games. I really want to play Chibi Robo and Eternal Darkness (and I'd gladly replay Resident Evil 1 and Zero, Super Mario Sunshine and F-Zero GX.)

Oh and I'm still waiting for Amazon's Lovefilm app to finally work! That damn app has been right there in the home menu since launch!

Good for the 8GB model owners they'll have a bit more space for their games



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Was this the last big update? I remember there were 2 this year but dont know if this is the first or the 2nd update.

I'll be waiting to pick up the Summer update in the Fall.

It's the second, the first was in April or thereabouts, and vastly improved the time it took to boot games or return to the home menu from a game.

Isn't August still summer?

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


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).

 

WTF? talk about over complicating when a season ends and starts. In Australia we keep things simple, 3 months per season. When the 4th month starts the new season starts.
