Nintendo has now released system update version 4.0.2 for the Wii U console.
The update is a small one and does not contain anything major. It’s only an update to keep the console stable. I guess small updates like this is to make sure your Wii U still runs smoothly in the long run.
If you want to use the Nintendo eShop, you’ll need to download the latest Wii U update to access it.
