Wii U System Software Update 5.1.0 is Live

[uyjulian]

I have a basic model yet my disc drive is fairly quiet.

Do you have a Wii or Wii U disk in there?

so it's ok to update? im liking the wii remote in eshop feature 5.1 brings

for real, Nintendo added wii remote support to browse the eShop. WTF, that's old technology that the Wii was capable of, why it took so long to show up in the Wii U?

now all those Wii U owners with broken gamepads can spend their monies in the eShop.

Users can now navigate the Nintendo eShop using a Wii Remote, Wii U Pro Controller, or Classic Controller

Took ya long enough.

There is a Hacking & Homebrew section to say that kind of stuff.

yeah but it was inevitable that someone was going to ask.

If the transferring part means that we can keep our purchased digital content ( Nintendo ID bound? ) , this is indeed a very welcome update!

Great to see these minor updates.
a bit of topic:

Spoiler

My Wii U launch model, basic set, it's not noisy. My Black Wii U is not different, also fairly silent

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Hope the thing already updated itself 'cause I wouldn't want to boot it up just to found out it needs to update. I hate when consoles need to update.

 

[Bladexdsl]

oh they merged it

 

[DbGt]

can i update first to fw 5.1.0 and THEN install the homebrew channel?? (i dont have any of the exploit games right now)

 

[Bladexdsl]

the update doesnt effect vwii

According to Zeldainformer it is now possible to navigate the system settings and menu as well without the gamepad. So all those Wii U deluxes for 200 and less on ebay that are only missing the gamepad may and I do may become usable. That's if the sellers update the systems to the latest update before shipping them out. I do know a several reputable ebay sellers. Hmmm may be getting a wii u soon! Just need someone to confirm Zelda's findings.
