14 DAY TRIAL // Hardware maker Nintendo announces that it has delivered a new firmware update for its Wii U device, labeled 4.0, which will introduce the ability to play all Virtual Console launched titles on the GamePad as long as the gamer uses a Wiimote.
The platform is also getting more options linked to the settings menu, the Wii U chat function and the Internet browser and Dolby Pro Logic II Surround Sound support for Wii titles is introduced.
Users can also opt to get recommendations for both software and game modes via SpotPass from other gamers.
