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?

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.

same with me.. was playing Mario and when I was done playing it said press OK to update. I'd say it was 15 minutes til console restart.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
