If you're sick of waiting for the console's menu to load every time you boot up the system, you'll be pleased to hear that this update changes that. The new version update implements a "quick launch" menu, which lets you jump straight back into the last few things you were using. It also makes some changes to the way you receive updates and notifications from Nintendo.
