An overview of the latest YouTube Wii U update
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Wii U’s YouTube application was recently updated. There’s not a whole lot that’s new, but a few general improvements have been made.
Users are shown recommendations based on viewing habits and subscriptions upon launching the YouTube app. The app is a bit cleaner and apparently loads faster as well. It’s also possible to press left on the d-pad to open up the same menus and content that you see on the browser version.
One thing that remains the same is keeping all content on the GamePad, and the television stays blank until you start a video. There’s no Pro Controller support sadly!

Xenoblade should be featured during tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii U | 26 Comments
Soraya Saga has re-tweeted the news regarding tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct. You know what that means! We should be getting an Xenoblade update tomorrow. Some may have expected this, but it’s nice to receive an additional indication in any case.
We may actually receive some news about two Xenoblade games. Nintendo could have a thing or two to say about Xenoblade Chronicles X for Wii U as well as the port of Xenoblade Chronicles for New 3DS.
