Nintendo just put online a new firmware for the Wii U version 3.0.0 E. It is of course the big update awaited from the beginning of the year, which adds many features to the console, but also improves responsiveness. This is the day of early correction for the Wii U, or rather his great spring update. Promised since the beginning of the year by Nintendo, firmware 3.0.0 E console is now available and provides many additions to the machine. The first of these is an overall improvement in the responsiveness of the console menus. Return to the main menu of the Wii U while a game is running will for example half the time before. The smoothness of menus is also improved, and the stability of the system.

Now, downloads and gaming facilities will continue, even if the console is in standby. Also purchased from the eShop titles are installed automatically in the background once they finished downloading. Access to the Wii console mode is also simplified. Rather than having to dig through menus to switch between the Wii and Wii U fashion, simply to keep the B button gamepad support for the start of the Wii console to access menus. It is also noted that the deployment of this update coincides with the launch of the Virtual Console service, which should be done in the day, some NES and SNES games should be available today. Note that the firmware weighs no less than 637 MB, and Nintendo provides this update will take about one hour to install on our machines. Note full update is not yet available on the French site Nintendo, but English version is available here on the General Info / Wii U System and Feature Updates tree.
