Wii U 2021 System Update
Posted: Sat Jul 10, 2021 12:22 pm
Just wanted to let everyone know that, surprisingly, the Wii U had a system update released in March 2021. As with the past several updates, the only description is "Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience."

Apparently the 2021 update is only something related to SSL, and not anything that will improve performance or anything like that. And it doesn't sound like this update would affect homebrew in anyway. But it prompted me to look up the update history, and I was surprised to see that the Wii U was receiving almost yearly system updates until 2018. I guess I haven't turned my Wii U on in a few years.
Anyone still gaming on a Wii U in 2021? I really enjoyed the Wii U when it was Nintendo's latest console. But I guess I haven't used mine since getting a Switch, and all of the U-to-Switch ports definitely doesn't help! I just turned on my Wii U to check and see how much of Mario Kart 8 I had completed (I abandoned it when I got the Switch port) and was surprised to see an update happening in the background.
