April system update cuts Wii U Menu loading time by 67%

The system software that powers the Wii U is about to get a whole lot faster. Nintendo has released a video showing the huge difference in load times between the current system software and the new update.

Starting from within a Wii U game or application and jumping back to the Wii U Menu currently takes about 30 seconds. But after the April system update, this action will be cut to 10 seconds. That’s a 67% decrease in the amount of time Wii U owners will be looking at a loading screen. Hurray!

I wonder how that compares to the PS3 and Xbox 360?
