system update

Update: Bumped to the top. Nintendo has shared an update on Twitter and confirmed that all problems have been resolved.

Nintendo took to its Japanese Twitter account a short while ago and commented on the Wii U’s latest update.

Earlier in the week, Wii U firmware version 5.4.0 was made available. We hadn’t heard of any issues, but Nintendo mentioned on its Twitter account that users may be encountering error 108-0065. Nintendo of America’s support site indicates that the problem may appear while downloading a system update, and it can occur if the update times out.

Nintendo is already on the case, and hopes to have the issues resolved soon. The company apologized for the inconvenience, and advises Wii U owners to simply wait until things have been fixed.

Interestingly, we haven’t heard about any problems in North America or Europe yet. Could these issues only be affecting Japan at present?

Last night, Nintendo issued a new update for Wii U. The system’s firmware was brought up to version 5.4.0 in all regions.

Regarding the latest update, Nintendo said that it was intended to improve the user experience and stability as a whole. A few more details about what it actually does have since surfaced. In the end, the changes are pretty minor.

One change is specifically for European regions. The Nintendo TVii icon has been removed, which makes sense given that Nintendo announced a few months ago that it has no plans for the service.

The only other changes worth mentioning pertain to the Internet browser. The webkit has been updated, those who have Google set as their default search engine are redirected to this page, and users can post comments on the YouTube website.

Here’s a full listing of items that were modified in the new update:

00050010-10040100 Wii U Menu
00050010-10041100 “Version.bin” file with the current system version
00050010-10047100 System Settings
0005001B-10051000 ErrEula
0005001B-10059100 Wii U Electronic Manual
0005001b-10068000 some list with IDs and codenames for them
00050030-1001010A HOME Menu
00050030-1001210A Internet Browser
00050030-1001a10a AOC Overlay App

That’s about it!

Nintendo brought out a new system update for the 3DS last week. This week, Wii U is getting in on the fun. The latest firmware, version 5.4.0, is now available for download.

Sadly, there’s not much to report on in terms of any new features. This one seems to be all about improving stability/the user experience – just like the 3DS upgrade.

As always, you’ll need the latest firmware before you can enter the eShop.

It’s not often that we hear about improved stability for a game when Nintendo launches new firmware, but that’s exactly what happened with yesterday’s 3DS update. Version 9.7.0-25 actually addresses crashing issues with Pokemon Rumble World while playing on New 3DS units. The Pokemon Company apologized for any trouble that may have been caused, and players are advised to grab the new upgrade.

Thanks to Anthony for the tip.

When the New 3DS launched in Japan last year, it came with a small (but neat) mini-game accessible via the web browser. It’s essentially a breakout clone. After applying today’s 3DS update, people in overseas territories should be able to try out the game as well.

Simply boot up the browser and visit the “New Tab” page. Then tap out the rhythm of the first notes of the Super Mario Bros. level music, and “STAGE SELECT” will appear. It’s now possible to hit a URL made out of bricks.

Nintendo has prepared a new 3DS firmware update. Version 9.6.0-24, which is needed in order to access the eShop, can be downloaded now.

Today’s update does a few things. First, Nintendo has added a Home Menu Layout setting, which lets users save/load up to eight layouts of the Home Menu with different theme and software icon arrangements.

amiibo settings have also been added for regular 3DS owners (non-New 3DS). Nintendo reconfirms that a peripheral will be released later this year to make use of its figures.

Lastly, additional categories have been added to the Theme Shop under “View More”, and system stability/usability has been improved.

You can find today’s full update notes below.
