How to Update Software on Wii U
Wii U
In this article, you'll learn how to update games and applications.
If connected online, the Wii U automatically checks for updates to your software. Any available updates will be downloaded and installed in the background.
In the event software is started and an available update has not been installed, the Wii U will begin downloading that update prior to the software starting.
Complete these steps
- Select Start Software if you would like to use the software while the update is downloading.
- Some features may be unavailable until you restart the game and install the most recent update.
- If the update is required for some reason, such as in the event it was previously installed and deleted, the Start Software option may not be available.
- Select Wii U Menu if you would like to return to the Wii U Menu while the software update is downloading.
