Early in the morning Nintendo broadcast their second Nintendo Direct for the New Year, and with it came a focus on Wii U. Among announcements of new titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD and Shin-Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, President of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, discussed features such as a mobile version of the Wii U's online social hub, Miiverse, and also two updates coming later this year to help speed up game launch times.

Iwata also went into detail about the upcoming Wii U Virtual Console that will be making its way to owners in Autumn, and will feature several NES and SNES titles on launch, with Game Boy Advance support later on. The virtual console is also touting save progress, the ability to play only on the GamePad and access to a Miiverse community for those eagerly awaiting the nostalgia trip. Iwata also ensured that those who had previously purchased a Wii virtual console title will be treated to a special price reduction on the Wii U virtual console.
