Wii U


Presentation begins in ten minutes. It will be 44 minutes long.


A FIFA 13 demo is now live on the North American Wii U eShop. The download previously hit the European store this past Friday.

FIFA 13’s Wii U demo comes in at 1263MB, for those wondering.


After installing the newest Wii U update, some folks are saying that the console is faster. Miiverse specifically boots up much quicker.

Have any of you completed the download/installation yet? If so, do load times seem better?


Nintendo has released the first firmware update for Wii U following launch, and it comes in at nearly 600MB. The download makes additional improvements to the overall stability of the console, and other minor adjustments have been implemented. Once applied, the system will be upgraded to version 2.1.0.

The strange this is, despite how minor the update seems, users are reporting that the download is taking an incredibly long time to finish up and install.



And there’s the Japanese Nintendo Direct we’ve been waiting for! NCL has confirmed that a presentation will be shown at 6 AM EST / 3 AM PST tomorrow.

Japan’s broadcast joins the previously-announced North American and European presentations. The latter two streams will be held at 12 PM EST / 9 AM PST.

You’ll be able to watch the Japanese event directly on Nintendo Everything. Alternatively, you can visit the official page. Japan’s broadcast will cover the upcoming Wii U launch, and presumably games that are on the horizon.


If you’re a core gamer, I can’t see this video explaining anything you didn’t already know. Parents could certainly learn a thing or two, though.
