http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/wiiuupdates620px_620x340.jpgNintendo's Wii U (http://www.engadget.com/tag/wiiu) is getting two title updates in the coming months, both aimed at optimizing the sluggish speed of the console (http://www.engadget.com/wii-u-review/nintendo-wii-u-review/). The first of the two, launching in spring, will make software load more quickly, as well as adding Virtual Console directly to the Wii U (rather than accessed through the virtual Wii). The second, launching in summer, will get users back to the Wii U main menu more quickly. Both additions are more than welcome -- the Wii U's greatest flaw is its unbelievably slow user interface. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed the news this morning during a Nintendo Direct broadcast, where he also unveiled news about Virtual Console heading to the Wii U (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/23/nintendo-wii-u-to-get-virtual-console-service-this-spring/), and an upcoming Miiverse update (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/23/wii-u-miiverse-update/) giving users access via smart devices.
