ok got the wii u, awsome console...so i heard ever spring i think they will have a system update, anyone have any idea what they will bring to the system...i hope they bring trophies!

Personally, I don't care if they add some sort of accomplishment system, but the OS is so great I can't think of anything else it needs.

(Loading times don't count, Nintendo is working on it.)

Nintendo's Wii U is getting two title updates in the coming months, both aimed at optimizing the sluggish speed of the console. The first of the two, launching in spring, will make software load more quickly, as well as adding Virtual Console directly to the Wii U (rather than accessed through the virtual Wii). The second, launching in summer, will get users back to the Wii U main menu more quickly. Both additions are more than welcome -- the Wii U's greatest flaw is its unbelievably slow user interface. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed the news this morning during a Nintendo Direct broadcast, where he also unveiled news about Virtual Console heading to the Wii U, and an upcoming Miiverse update giving users access via smart devices.

If you were to get a new console and tried to do an update will all the updates be rolled into one or will i have to do it bit by bit?

There have been two updates so far. Anyone who got the console after the 2nd one can probably answer that. Other then it's hard to say although they should in practical terms be rolled into one.

The Wii U is actually slower then the older Xbox 360.

The loading times aren't that much of a problem for me.

I have a freezing problem.

I know right. The Wii U will have a software update which will make the Wii U much faster

Mine freezes on YouTube all the time but is fine on everything else.

The wii u OS is very unoptimized.
They had to "rush." its why the OS takes up so much ram.

It may take a while, but Nintendo is optimizing. There is a LOT they are trying to accomplish. But they tend to put a lot of responsibility on a few people. So they are taking a bit longer to tighten it up.

The transition speed is almost expected. But it's annoying.

It will be worked out.
