Finally Going to update now. Just need the 3DS update with themes and I'm all set

 

[Buggy Loop]

Yes!

But are the folders stable enough?

 

[Majine]

Weird how people are making comparisons to this and PS4 in this thread.

The Wii U has been out a year longer...

But Nintendo is usually further behind the curve

 

[Monocle]

Awesome, let's get organized!

 

[Magnus]

Count me in the Who Cares crew. I don't even know what I'd use folders for. There's tons of room for apps and games to go as is. (I guess I just can't fathom having that many games for the system only two years in. And this is the system I've obtained the most software for at this point in its life cycle, with 7 games total)

Far more pressing things we're waiting to hear on from Nintendo, although every new feature is better than nothing.

 

[Volotaire]

Awesome, let's get organized!

This sounds like a title of the next Nintendo game.

 

[superpickleman]

Woooooo, I just transferred a bunch of stuff into a hard drive the other day and it disorganized the hell out of everything. The folder hype is real!

 

[Luigiv]

Yeah I don't get it either.

What's the big deal about folders?

The ability to neatly organise the home screen by category without having to separate apps across pages (which is fine at first but eventually leads to reshuffling nightmares).

 

[10k]

FOTY (Firmware of the Year) no wait.....Folders of the Year!!!!

 

[Majine]

Post pics of your organized home screens, boys!

(you can take screenshots of the home screen, can't you? /Non owner)

 

[Mlatador]

Screw folders!!

Improvements to system stability

 

[MickeyPhree]

Your move Sony.

 

[valouris]

Need pics of all the new stuff my wiiu and I are countries apart atm!

 

[ReyVGM]

No other industry celebrates folder updates as much.

When gmail added folders (labels), everyone celebrated too.

 

[ramoisdead]

Folders!!??

2014 is truly the year of the Wii U.

 

[VanWinkle]

Oh snap

 

[MissileTrick]

Disabled usage of characters not used when redeeming Nintendo eShop cards (O, I, Z, etc.)


I think this is a bigger deal to me than some folders.

 

[Brofield]

So stable it ca-

OH MY LAWD. FOLDERS.

 

[Volotaire]

This updates is loooooooong. Finished downloading, now installing/updating.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Folders. Dear God yes. Gimmie, gimmie, and gimmie some more. So good for my organization obsession.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

I don't even own a Wii U yet and I'm excited about this.

FOLDERING INTENSIFIES.

 

[Regiruler]

I want themes now that the 3DS is getting themes.
W101 theme plz.

 

[SuperChoco]

Downloading now.

Hopefully it won't display just the first letter of the folder like it does on the 3DS.

I guess the joy (even though clearly exaggerated by most) is from people who have a lot of eShop games AND like to stay organized, which does admittedly suck without folders, as you have to do a lot of shifting and moving of icons when adding something new. Now you can have a NES folder, SNES, etc.

 

[diaspora]

My body wasn't ready.

 

[Tokieda]

Guys, chill out. They're folders.

Spoiler

Can't wait

I assume you're referring to retail titles only? I can easily see someone in need of more space if they've given the Virtual Console/DL-Only titles some love. (Which is my case)

I do agree we're in dire need of a Direct.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Folders? On my TV??

 

[daripad]

Holy shit! I love folders

Even then, being able to shift the useless shit (Hulu in Canada? kek) away is great.

 

[Deleted member 126221]

Wii U is the first next-gen console with folders. I bet Sony and Microsoft are panicking right now.

 

[moltonasty]

Nintendo annihilating Sony at the firmware game with folders and everything. Holy snaps. Not only that, they got system stability out the fuckin wazoo. Big N, keep doin yo thang.

 

[khaaan]

Oh, is that what I agreed to?

If they look like 3DS folders then they're ugly and I don't want them >_>

 

[Cbajd5]

FOLDERS

also it isn't tuesday nintendo, you put this out a day early

 

[bobbychalkers]

MONDAYTON!!!

 

[User 479360]

I don't use my Wii U enough to need them, but folders are always nice. PS4 really needs them badly.

 

[daripad]

At least they help to get rid of the demo icons and the bad looking icons lol

 

[Monocle]

Yes!

But are the folders stable enough?

The Wii U's superabundance of stability can be allocated however you wish. If your folders need extra stability, add as much as you like.

Personally, I depend on my Wii U for emotional stability while I wait for Bayonetta 2.

True, but they don't have games.

 

[Volotaire]

[Monocle]

True, but they don't have games.

[moltonasty]

True, but they don't have games.

This is next gen, no one has games! Didn't you know?

 

[Akhe]

FOOOLLLDERRRSSS!!!!!!!!

Next step: Proper account system. I can smell it already!!

Spoiler

I hope

 

[ShadowLag]

Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

This is the true megaton right here

 

[Hugstable]

OMG it's finally happened! Folders are the greatest UI feature to ever be introduced to the 3DS, so it's welcoming to have it on the Wii U

 

[StreetsAhead]

Of thank god for folders, finally.

 

[Volotaire]

Oh CREATE FOLDER OPTION!! Name it as well.

EDIT:
- change colour of folder
- opens up a new menu
- change name
- Folder has up to 4 screens
- Add folder option is on every screen after the first screen of apps or subsequent ones that you have not filled

 

[diaspora]

True, but they don't have games.

Yeah, no games or folders is sad.

 

[superpickleman]

60% o_o

 

[Isotope]

The folders spell out the whole word. Example: instead of "A" for "Apps", Apps is all worded out.
