Sony Playstation 5 :
Nintendo released an update for one of their consoles today: no, don’t run around looking for the new Switch firmware, because the one that received a patch has been Wii U. Specifically, this machine premiered in Spain back in 2012, has been updated today to version 5.5.5 with a patch that implements “improvements in the general stability of the system to improve the user experience” and nothing else.
The funny thing is that this version comes a year and a few months after the last one, which was released in June 2019. That one didn’t add any new important details either, just “stability improvements”, like this time. At least the last four Wii U patches have come just for that purpose, although at no time is it specified what kind of change will be made to improve performance. Until the previous version, Nintendo updated its console once a year, but since patch 5.5.4 no more have been released until today.

Minor changes for a virtually abandoned console
Those who have researched this new Wii U update have found that what it brings with it is a new method to check SSL certificates, a security measure that allows the transfer of data through the Internet to have no risks for the user. For practical purposes, this should not have any kind of interference in the use that an average player can give the console.
The new Wii U update has not only surprised because it is the first since 2019 and has arrived without warning, but it has also surprised the owners of the console by considering that Nintendo had abandoned this platform. So much so that even some services, such as Netflix, have already announced that they will stop working and supporting Wii U from this year, something that will also happen on Nintendo 3DS, although in particular the video-on-demand platform does not have an application on Switch, the most recent console in the game. company. Also the Super Mario Maker servers will stop working at the end of the month.
