With a Nintendo Direct scheduled for tomorrow morning (Friday), Nintendo has pushed out a firmware update for both Wii U and 3DS ahead of whatever announcements are coming.

 

Wii U?s update brings the hardware to version 2.1.0 and addresses the following, according to Nintendo:

?Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.?

It?s a similar vagueness on 3DS, which moves to version 4.5.0-10U:

?Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.?

Based on user reports so far, not much has changed, but maybe we?ll learn more tomorrow?

Wii U Firmware 2.0.0

Edited by Andrew G.

updated both yesterday. the 3DS update was quick, but the Wii U update took about an hour, as advertised. out of curiousity i'd love to see some changelogs.

Wow really? I must have gotten it right when it was released (I feel like I got it Tuesday night even?) as I downloaded and installed my WiiU update in under 10 minutes? :s

Did I somehow enable background downloads or something? Literally as soon as I turned my WiiU on, about 15 seconds later I got a pop up about a system update being available. Within 10 minutes it was all done and installed.

    • So, recently, I saw on the news that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.

    • And he paid Joe Rogan $30M for podcasts. Terrible company.
    • I sure hope the AI does not give out wrong info during education
