14 DAY TRIAL // The team at Nintendo in charge of the Wii U home console is announcing that it is delivering a new 5.5.0 firmware update for the device, which is designed to make a number of small tweaks to its functionality.
It's unclear whether there are tweaks that are unmentioned by the team preparing a bigger set of changes for the platform.
The official support site from the company explains that the TVii icon has been removed from both the Wii U normal Menu and the Home Menu.
Nintendo adds firmware 5.5.0 also makes, "Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience."
The company is saying that gamers should install the update as soon as they are prompted, but most fans will be disappointed to learn that there are no features added to their device.
Nintendo might be disappointed with the sales that the Wii U has been generating since launch, but it has a solid track record of supporting the device, which might get a final overhaul in terms of features later in the year or early in 2016.
NX is how Nintendo wants to re-conquer the hardware market
It's highly unlikely that major new features are being planned for the Wii U as the hardware resources at the company are more focused on its new platform, which will combine some yet un-revealed features.
The NX has not yet been officially shown, but it might get full details in 2016.
Rumors are saying that Nintendo plans to create prototypes before the end of the year and to then start manufacturing in the middle of next year, so that it can have all the devices it needs ready for a fall 2016 launch.
Nintendo NX will offer the company a shot at competing with the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.
The Wii U has always been seen as underpowered and hard to develop for.
For the NX, there are plans to introduce at least one major feature that's revolutionary enough that Nintendo is worried other companies will copy it if it offers too many details too soon.
