New video shows Wii U loading times shortened via system update

That's cool. Step in the right direction. Yet at the same time, we all know loading times wouldn't have been an issue if the WiiU had been optimized and planned further before rushing release to cover dying Wii sales.

If You play half Your life, who cares about 7 seconds more loading time? :)

Anyway, keep up the good work, with more patches, fixes. Good to hear about them.

Sorry, but that screenshot sure does look next-gen to me.

Still slowly.

Is there a technical explanation for why the WiiU takes so long to do pretty much anything?  Switching between menus, settings, different applications, etc. is extremely slow.  Is it simply a very slow CPU, very slow storage, something else???

BTW, WiiU price drops continue to be spotted.  Right now the WiiU basic model is on sale at some Canadian Costco locations for $199. 

All this hate towards to Wii U by empty_cow. I wonder why he doesn't attack the 360 as well?

This article is about Nintendo, and it has Martin Gaston's picture, so obviously it means that Nintendo is doomed.  

nice

Getting better, Nintendo.  Now, can you shorten the wait times between great games?

Nice! Less loading time means more play time! I'm looking forward to the update!

Awesome,  looking for to the update.

Gee, glad it boots quicker. That'll be useful when I play... no games on it.

Fix the loading, release some interesting exclusives that don't involve Mario, and lower the price... and your console shall sell.

I hope this patch fixes the freezing issues I been having during the Wii U's main menu with the Miis.

....great....abit late now that I've completed the game.

Yay, that's a lovely update, but it's the summer update I'm waiting for since it should include a few features many of us are waiting for.

Hopefully this patch does something about stability... I'm losing track of how many times I have to pull the power cable out of the main box because the unit is locked up. 

Awesome job, Nintendo! :D You guys are great and always have my support

At least it's getting better, though it's just the menu managing so it's no big deal to me.

altho i will say the wii u has been a disappointment up until now.  kid has 5 games for it in 5 months...not to shabby.  rayman wonderful 101 and pikmin all upcoming?  my wallet aint gonna like that.  1st year it will have probably 8 good games under his tv.  with smash bros zelda and who knows what else coming.  good luck on them flopping.  kids eat that shit up.

wow system has been out for 5 months and just bashin away...nice.  hey keep hopin those ps4 game trailers hold up.  if i remember the great ps3 was crushed for having sub par games compared to the xbox for at least a couple years.  and dont forget about the 600 lb gorilla in the room.  itll be released alongside your overpriced and runs like shit online (ps3 still doesnt get it) system.
