Topic: Summer System Update?

Can anyone tell me what happened to the Wii U Summer System Update? I've heard nothing about it since may or so. But I do saw in the System Settings on my Wii U that SpotPass would be added in a new update. Does anyone have more info?

Nothing has been announced regarding the summer system update yet, though I imagine we'll hear about it some time in the next few weeks. Wii U does currently utilise SpotPass, but from what I understand it only works while the system is powered on, so maybe that'll change in a future update.

.

I'm guessing we'll get some news about it at this month's Direct.

Hopefully it brings Nintendo Tvii...

There's going to be a direct this month? Did nintendo confirm this or is it just a guess? Usually they only have directs every other month

This the best post!

Nintendo is delaying the summer update until fall because it has taken unexpectedly long to write an update for an HD system. Please understand.

Where did you read that from??? It's barely July you guys, summer goes on until September 21 (in the Northern Hemisphere anyway)

I think the sarcasm detector is broken!

I'm hoping for Nintendo Network and Club Ninteno accounts merged, or at least tied, w/ a Mii attached so you don't have to transfer your Mii from system to system, and hopefully a software update that allows users to transfer Wii VC games to Wii U free of charge, free of Wii Menu, etc etc...

Essentially, I'm just hoping a Summer System Update is Nintendo catching up w/ the times.

Nintendo is always silent on their system updates until it comes out. It wouldn't surprise me if it came out tomorrow.

I think it will be phenomenal. This update will probably combat most of the complaints many have had for the past 8 months, including, but not limited to:
Faster in-game load times

I'm thinking better accounts, more headset/headphone options, 3DS connectivity, media, more friend/communication options etc. possible updates could happen by the end of the year.

Well hey don't forget summer actually started June 21 and we have I think 2 1/2 more months till its fall so we have some time.

It'll probably be after Pikmin 3 comes out. Who knows, though...
A Nintendo Direct will probably happen before Pikmin 3, which will show off more games, more about Pikmin 3, and the update.
If Japan gets Pikmin 3 before the update, I think it would be pretty reasonable for us to get Pikmin 3 before the update as well.

It's pretty up in the air right now...

Thought they were only doing 2 updates and they both already happened... In April and in June.
