Topic: Next WiiU System Update (6.0.0)

theWAITisOVER · 2014-10-16T03:16:18+00:00

Hi guys! :-) what do u say to speak about the features that we would like to have on the next system update (6.0.0)? NOTE: thread constantly updated let's start: -2nd GamePad support and possibility of use gamepad as pro controller (for ex for play mario kart 8 and a friend bear his own gamepad) -improve wii shortcut: Wii Remote Plus: the possibility of start wii mode "tv only" by holding B during the boot screen (now i have to turn off the gamepad everytime -.-, so we need a setting option for "tv only" further then "tv+gamepad"); GamePad: add a wii icon (near wiiU icon) for start wii by TV button -gamecube retrocompability with the arrive of gamecube adaptor: is WiiU capable of Gamecube emulation? (reading GC mini disc?) i hope so. maybe creating an image file for the memory cards -extending the pad compabilty, for ex. the possibility of use the AMAZING gamecube controllers with other games, not only for Super Smash Bros. Wii U -integration 3ds-wii u: for ex 3ds as controller, or maybe as a gamepad (maybe new nintendo 3ds) -internet browser improvements (for ex screen rotation, image display, etc) -adblock and popup block options for the internet browser (or maybe an URL Filter) -add special amiibo features or app on the wiiu menù and extend the amiibo compability with other games (Super Mario 3D World ;-)) -ADD SD CARD FEATURES (for ex. the possibility to use it as a memory card for transfer games save data to other console or allow downloaded software to be stored on SD card like you can with the 3DS) -add AUTOMATIC standby function for wii u gamepad (that we can regulate by settings menu), and the option with which we can TURN OFF the gamepad (not only the screen) when we don't want to use it in any software (for ex in wii sport club, etc.) -quick start menu without the other sleep functions -gamepad as classic controller for wii mode, and for WII U mode too (by TURN OFF the SCREEN, for battery life always) -increase the number of mii that you can create -increase the number of friends that you can have -modernize user interface and more customization (wallpapers and icons for the folders downloadable or stamps from games; possibility of change start up intro with cool start up intro animation or with different imagine...maybe with the different nintendo characters near wii u logo... for ex. pikmin intro or mario intro) -improve friends notifications and chat (Real notification system (for ex when friends signing of, or when we get messages), Real messaging system, Party chat, etc)---message to friends directly from the FRIENDS list -use Miiverse display names for when friends are online instead of their NNID. people can't keep track of what NNID goes with what friend. -Bluetooth support for wireless headsets -on the quick start screen, remove disc based games that are no longer in the Wii U -add the possibility of "automatic date and time update" -add more Mii customisation -add the possibility to use the gamecube adaptor in wii mode for the Wii games and peripherals that use the gamecube controller and connector (for ex "cyberbike magnetic edition") --- the wii operating system support the gamecube things. so they could release an application from Wii Shop that unlocks the gamecube controller compability without modificate wii mode -voice chat -extend the Wii U Microphone compability (for ex on youtube app) -wii u pro controller as classic controller pro for wii mode -It would be pretty cool if Miiverse got animated gif support so that instead of posting just screenshots, we could post 30 second flashback clips or something! Players could also watch them at "in game" speed, or in slow motion. So here's how it could work (for the player). The big system update is that you can save replay data for up to 15 minutes per clip. Can't use system memory. Pressing Home achieves two things at once. It captures the screenshot for the moment (as usual) but it also saves the last 15 minutes of gameplay video! Players can open the new Photos & Videos App to view their media, and cut 30 second clips out to share across Miiverse at anytime. -add amiibo backup function -improve data management (save data backup, sd card management, etc) -add RESET software option for Wii U HOME screen -increase the number of games that you can have ( http://www.nintendolife.com/forums/wii-u/help3#reply-01 ) -stability, more optimizing and speeding things up p.s. sorry for my english ;-) RUMOR: the gamecube adaptor will allow to play 8 players at the same time on Super Smash Bros U (Edit: CONFIRMED) CONFIRMED FEATURES: -NFC reader compability with: amiibo and other things like cards (They mention non-figure based ‘amiibo’ are being planned, saying that they are developing cards as part of the ‘amiibo’ project.) -2 gamecube adaptors compability for 8 players (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U) -7 wii remote plus, 7 wii u pro controller, 8 nintendo 3ds or 2ds as controllers (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U) -pre-download system (The “pre-download” system is a system in which consumers who have purchased the game before its release can download most of the game content in advance. Using this system, consumers will not have to wait for a long time to download the game after its release. They will then be able to start playing the game by only downloading a requisite minimum amount of update data.) NEWS 1: amiibo figures will only be able to hold information for one game at a time “Amiibo can only store data for one read/write compatible game at a time. If you wish to use the data from other read/write compatible software, please erase the data in the ‘Amiibo settings’ section of the Wii U settings menu.” However, Nintendo also states that an Amiibo with data already stored on it can still be used for read-only games, such as those in which it unlocks secret items. (For example. a Captain Falcon Amiibo with Smash Bros data stored on it can still be used to unlock a Captain Falcon suit in Mario Kart 8, since it does not require data to be stored on the figure.) NEWS 2: Nintendo is working on a new update for Miiverse that will be released later this month. profile pages will be viewable on the web version of Miiverse without the need to log in with a Nintendo Network ID. Registered users will be able to adjust the settings of who can/can’t view their profile. If set to “everyone”, anyone visiting Miiverse will be able to see your profile page – even if they aren’t logged in. A specific date for the new Miiverse update was not shared. However, it will arrive in mid-November. SYSTEM UPDATE 5.3.0--->Nintendo launched a Wii U system menu update (10 NOV 2014) that added Amiibo functionality, including the ability to register an Amiibo owner and nickname, delete data written to an Amiibo by supported software, or reset an Amiibo. This is a video that shows how 5.3.0 amiibo update works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfQ_Yz-vsrY ;) 5.3.1---> (01 DEC 2014) fix issues that some users were having with uploading highlight reels from Mario Kart 8 to YouTube. As usual, the update will also “improve system stability” and “enhance the user experience”. 5.3.2--->(05 DEC 2014) stability and improving the user experience

Too bad most of those won't sell that many compared to Mario Kart or Smash.

Quality wise we have a great year coming, but sales-wise Wii U won't see any major increase

Sad but true.

Eh? Online rankings only? That won't amount to much

I'm not believing this. There has to be more than just online ranking. If they would do maintenance a day before E3, then there has to be some surprise.

Making promise is easy. The hard part is keeping it.

Yeah on a whim I manually updated my console. Took a long time. No info on what it did. Currently 5.4.0 U. It requires 271MB.

Based on Nintendo of Japan:

Major changes due to an update to the 5.4.0J

Improvement of the stability and convenience of the system

More comfortable as enjoy, we have to improve the stability and convenience of the system.

I'm pretty sure it's still there on the Home menu. I wish I could remove it though... I can't even use it.

@Morpheel, I'm guessing it is just gone from Europe since it isn't usable at all in the region.

Oh well then, that explains it.

Since it's still there, taunting me, in my WiiU.

Edit: interestingly enough, I tried opening it just now and instead of the usual "this service is not available in your region" it showed me a regular connection error message.

Not sure if that's better or worse.

Edit: nope, the usual message came back now. Moving on...

An update just downloaded on my Wii U!? Nothing seems different.
The new version is 5.4.0.U.

I'm guessing the main reason for the update was removing Nintendo TVii from Europe, but I wonder if it could also be preparing for another update soon that will affect all regions. (Just random speculation though so I'm probably wrong)

No I think you're right seeing as this update was more than a single decimal point increase and yet did absolutely nothing outside of Europe.

Oh you're right, the search option now brings you to a sort of website for the search engine you are using.
Haven't tried out flash yet, but I've noticed that YouTube is working now (before I couldn't check replies I've received and I couldn't comment, it would tell me I've been logged out when I tried despite not actually logging out)
