Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
A new YouTube update is now available to download for Wii U. It’s not too big, as the download is under 100MB.
We’re not entirely sure what today’s update encompasses. It does seem like there may have been a bit of a redesign – see the GamePad image below. There might be additional ads as well. If anyone has further insight to share about the update, let us know!
Thanks to DJMusicClues and Jake for the tip.
