Nothing massive but some really cool additions. Will have to change my profile pic and the wired pro controller is great for comp gaming.
Friend notifications is also nice :D



Good to hear. Will apply at next chance.

Thanks for succeeding where the OP failed.

So despite all this, it's still inferior to the Wii U, where you can, you know, actually communicate with those on your friends list. Unfortunately this shows that the absence of messaging was no accident, Nintendo deliberately took a step backwards, which wouldn't be too big of a deal, except we're gonna be paying for this soon...

I knew someone would step up! I couldn't copy the update, due to the site spamming me with pop-ups, so I just wanted to let everyone know that a new update was out.



So, does that mean we can play video games in negative colours? I wonder if anyone will actually use that!



I'm waiting for the VC update.
