Nintendo has updated the firmware for the Wii U console, in an effort to improve performance and lag times.
Most critics of the system have blamed extremely long load times for even basic functions. The update should improve this lag.
Additionally, the change list notes that "you can now copy data between two USB drives directly, the console can automatically download and install updates in the background, and you can boot directly into the original Wii mode by holding down the B button during startup."
Nintendo also noted that another major update is slated for the summer to further address the same issues.
