You thought it was dead, but the Nintendo Wii U lives on. Following an update that initially was just for European regions, the update is also supposedly to be made available in North American and Japan, according to patch notes. However, currently, Nintendo of America's site does not note any new firmware revisions, nor do we know if the update will actually come to non-EU systems. At this point, we have no idea what 5.5.4 changes, besides standard stability. The last time we saw an update for the Wii U was all the way back in September 2018, for version 5.5.3 which was yet another stability update. If you still value using your Wii U, you might want to wait on updating, to see what this changes in terms of homebrew.

• Version number: 5.5.4
• Release date: June 24th 2019 (North America) / June 25th 2019 (Europe, Japan)
• Regions: Europe / North America / Japan
• Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

The following titles were updated: VersionData, and Wii U Menu.

@rommy667 What's the issue?

You said "i just did and yep ya gota install all again." but you FAILED to mention that your running COLDBOOT haxchi, so @Nimrod-002 questioned your answer.

Those who have normal Haxchi are fine after the update.

 

[rommy667]

@xs4all Uumm what do yall think ALL means so i failed to mention nothing ALL is ALL. The problem is me being called a liar when i clearly am not,do you want me to hold ya hand while you update as well?

This update doesn't seem to affect soft modded vWii, already tested, HB channel still works, homebrew apps still loads/works fine as it did before.

So has anybody update with coldboot haxchi installed?
Does it still work like usual or will I have to uninstall coldboot first?

 

[jamezfat]

huh, neat.
I guess.
I'm honestly somewhat surprised they havent implemented all of the same e shop checks on 3ds with wii u content.

Usb helper still works perfectly fine for Wii u stuff lmao.

Starting to wonder if there is something in our hacked Wii U's that doesn't allow for a update?
