The Wonderful 101’s first update is now available in North America (and presumably Europe) in addition to Japan.

As far as what the update addresses, Platinum has corrected a bug that disabled users from obtaining the Wonderful Figure No. 24 in certain situations. General improvements to usability have been made as well.
