system update

Reader TruExtent has been poking around the latest Wii U firmware update and came across a few interesting tidbits. They’re not the most important aspects of the upgrade, though they are neat little nuggets.

Here’s what TruExtent shared with us:

One of the photos shows the quick start menu. It has been updated to show if the software last being used was a disc. Look above the software icon to find a new image of a disc as the indicator.

The next photo shows what happens if you select the disc software if you have a different disc in. For my experiment, I replaced Ninja Gaiden with Mario Kart. What I remember happening before was the Wii U just starting whatever disc was in the console. Now it shows a message saying that you need to insert the correct disc in order to continue. Taking out and inserting ANY disc will start the software. If no disc is in the system, it will ask for a disc to be inserted; any disc will start regardless of what was on the quick start menu (like before).

In the last photo you can see more than one disc based software will appear on the quick start menu and both will have the disc indicator.
