Wii U system update coming next week

Nintendo has just announced that a Wii U system update will be coming next week.

Loading times will be improved, and new features will be added, such as copying data between two USB drives and installing software in the background while playing a game.

You'll even be able to receive updates automatically without starting the software.

Wii U Virtual Console will also be launching the day after the system update, letting you play classic N64 and GameBoy Advance games on the Wii U.
