Wii U system software

{{see_also|Miiverse}}

The Wii U Menu is directly integrated with Miiverse and the Nintendo Network. When the Wii U powers on, the television screen shows the WaraWara Plaza in which user status and comments on Miiverse are shown. Each user is represented by their respective Mii and was associated with a Miiverse community.{{cite web|url=https://www.nintendo.com/wiiu/built-in-software/|title=Wii U Official Site - Built-in Software|publisher=Nintendo|date=2012-11-01|access-date=2012-12-04|archive-date=2012-11-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121128112136/http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu/built-in-software/|url-status=live}} Users could save any Mii on the WaraWara Plaza to their personal library, like their posts (with a "Yeah!"), write a comment, and send a friend request.

Since Miiverse is discontinued, the WaraWara Plaza now only shows the built-in tips from Nintendo usually meant for offline users.

The Home Menu (stylized as HOME Menu) can be accessed during any game or application through the user pressing the Home Button on the Wii U GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller or Wii Remote. The Home Menu allows the user to launch certain multitasking applications, such as Miiverse, Nintendo TVii, Nintendo eShop, and the Internet Browser while a game or application is running. It also displays various information such as date and time, the wireless signal status, controller battery life and controller settings. Current downloads can also be managed in the Download Manager (or in Notifications), which downloads and installs games and applications and their respective updates, as well as downloading system updates in the background.{{Cite web |date=2014-06-03 |title=Wii U System Update 5.0.0 Now Live, Adds Quick Start Menu And GamePad Notifications |url=https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/06/wii_u_system_update_500_now_live_adds_quick_start_menu_and_gamepad_notifications |access-date=2023-09-01 |website=Nintendo Life |language=en-GB}}

{{main article|Nintendo eShop}}

The Nintendo eShop is Nintendo's online digital distribution service, serving the Wii U, the Nintendo Switch, and the Nintendo 3DS handheld console. The eShop provides downloadable Wii U software titles (both retail and download only), Wii games, Virtual Console games, trial versions (demos), and various applications. It also allows users to purchase downloadable content (DLC) and automatically download patches for both physical and downloadable games. All content obtained from the Nintendo eShop is attached to a Nintendo Network ID but can only be used in one system. The Wii U allows background downloading via SpotPass, either while playing a game or application or in sleep mode. Up to ten downloads can be queued at a time and their status can be checked on the Download Manager application. A pop-up notification will appear on the Home Menu section to notify the user that a download is finished.

Unlike past Nintendo digital stores, such as the Wii Shop Channel and the Nintendo DSi Shop, which used Nintendo Points as its currency, the Nintendo eShop uses the user's local currency using a digital wallet system whereby funds are added to and debited from the wallet. The user can add funds to their wallet in a number of ways either by credit or debit card or by purchasing Nintendo eShop cards. It is also possible to purchase download codes from select retailers and later redeem the on the eShop. On July 22, 2014, the Japanese Nintendo eShop was updated to support digital money cards to add funds to the user account's digital wallet via near field communication (NFC) on the Wii U GamePad. These cards are embedded with IC chips and are typically used to buy train or bus tickets as well as make purchases at convenience stores.{{cite web|last1=Ashcraft|first1=Brian|title=The Wii U Will Take Digital Money in Japan|date=18 July 2014 |url=http://kotaku.com/the-wii-u-will-take-digital-money-in-japan-1607081215|publisher=Kotaku|access-date=July 19, 2014|archive-date=July 21, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140721012858/http://kotaku.com/the-wii-u-will-take-digital-money-in-japan-1607081215|url-status=live}}

The Nintendo eShop supports user software reviews. Users can submit a review with "stars" ranging from one to five, representing its quality in a crescent order. It is also possible to categorize the software on whether it is suitable for hardcore or for more casual players. Reviews can only be submitted after the software in review has been used for at least one hour.{{cite web|title=Wii U - Nintendo eShop|url=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/hardware/features/eshop/index.html|publisher=Nintendo|access-date=July 19, 2014|language=ja|quote=また、ほかのプレイヤーの評価や『Miiverse』に投稿されたコメントを見ることもできます（予定）。|archive-date=July 31, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140731181930/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/hardware/features/eshop/index.html|url-status=live}}

{{main article|Miiverse}}

Miiverse (portmanteau of "Mii" and "Universe") was an integrated social networking service, which allowed players to interact and share their experiences through their own Mii characters. Miiverse allowed users to seamlessly share accomplishments, comments hand written and game screenshots notes with other users. Select games were integrated with Miiverse, where social interactions could also occur within the game. Miiverse was moderated through software filtering as well as a human resource team in order to ensure that the content shared by users was appropriate and that no spoilers were shared. In order to facilitate this, it was stated that comments posted could take up to 30 minutes to appear on Miiverse.{{cite web |author=JC Fletcher on |url=http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/07/miiverse-messages-will-be-subject-to-moderation-before-posting/ |title=Miiverse messages will be subject to moderation before posting |publisher=Joystiq |date=June 7, 2012 |access-date=October 25, 2012 |archive-date=June 16, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130616040116/http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/07/miiverse-messages-will-be-subject-to-moderation-before-posting/ |url-status=live }}

Nintendo TVii was a free television-based service which allowed users to find programs on Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Video, and on their cable network. Nintendo TVii also allowed users to control their TiVo DVR through the Wii U.{{cite web|url=https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2409681,00.asp|title=Nintendo TVii Streams Video, DVR, Live TV to Wii U|work=PCMAG|access-date=October 13, 2014|archive-date=October 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141007054127/http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0%2c2817%2c2409681%2c00.asp|url-status=live}} Users were then able to select the source of the program they wanted to watch and watch it on their television or on the Wii U GamePad.{{cite web |last=Reisinger |first=Don |url=http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-21539_7-57447517-10391702/nintendo-confirms-netflix-hulu-plus-others-for-wii-u/ |title=Nintendo confirms Netflix, Hulu Plus, others for Wii U | E3 2012 - CNET Reviews |publisher=Reviews.cnet.com |date=June 5, 2012 |access-date=June 12, 2012 |archive-date=June 8, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120608001931/http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-21539_7-57447517-10391702/nintendo-confirms-netflix-hulu-plus-others-for-wii-u/ |url-status=live }} By default, the GamePad screen showed information on the show currently being watched. This information included reviews, screenshots, cast lists, trailers, and other general information about the show provided by English Wikipedia, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, as well as other individual source services. Nintendo TVii also had a dedicated sports section where the user could view player positions and highlights of the match, updated in real-time.

Each user had their own personalized settings on Nintendo TVii, such as favorite shows and sports teams, their personal Mii, and any social network account integration. Users could then interact with friends and the community by sharing and commenting on reactions to live moments on the current show, on social networks such as Miiverse, Facebook, and Twitter, through the GamePad while the show played on the television screen.

Nintendo TVii was made available with the Wii U's release in Japan on December 8, 2012.{{cite web |url=https://www.engadget.com/2012/11/27/nintendo-tvii-launch-japan-december-8/ |title=Nintendo TVii will launch with Wii U in Japan on December 8th, IR remote costs $1 |publisher=Engadget |date=November 27, 2012 |access-date=December 19, 2012 |archive-date=December 19, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121219174427/http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/27/nintendo-tvii-launch-japan-december-8/ |url-status=live }} It was released in North America on December 20, 2012{{cite web |url=https://www.theverge.com/2012/12/19/3783800/nintendo-launching-tvii-for-wii-u-on-december-20th |title=Nintendo officially launching TVii for Wii U in the US and Canada on December 20th |publisher=Engadget |date=December 19, 2012 |access-date=December 19, 2012 |archive-date=December 31, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121231003400/http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/19/3783800/nintendo-launching-tvii-for-wii-u-on-december-20th |url-status=live }} and was scheduled to be released in Europe sometime in 2013,{{cite web |url=http://www.cubed3.com/news/17546/1/nintendo-tvii-service-heading-to-europe.html |title=Nintendo TVii Service Heading to Europe in 2013 |publisher=Cubed3 |date=November 25, 2012 |access-date=November 25, 2012 |archive-date=October 29, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029210401/http://www.cubed3.com/news/17546/1/nintendo-tvii-service-heading-to-europe.html |url-status=live }} but was never fulfilled.

Nintendo worked with YouTube, LoveFilm (United Kingdom and Ireland only), Nico Nico Douga and YNN! (Japan only) to bring streaming movie and television content to the Wii U. Nintendo had initially delayed the deployment of some media capabilities for the Wii U as it delayed its online infrastructure.

Wii U Chat was Nintendo's online video chat solution, powered by the Nintendo Network. The service allows the users to use the Wii U GamePad's front-facing camera to video chat with registered friends. While video chatting, only the Wii U GamePad is essentially needed, since the application is compatible with Off-TV Play. Users could draw pictures on the GamePad, on top of the video chat display.{{cite web |url=https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/latam/en/systems/wiiu/features_wiiu_chat.jsp?menu=general_info&submenu=wup-chat-gi-overview |title=Wii U Chat Overview | Wii U - Wii U Chat |publisher=Nintendo.com |access-date=June 11, 2014 |archive-date=July 15, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715030646/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/latam/en/systems/wiiu/features_wiiu_chat.jsp?menu=general_info&submenu=wup-chat-gi-overview |url-status=live }} If there is a game or another application already running, the GamePad's HOME button ring will flash indicating that there is an incoming call.

{{main article|Wii Menu}}

Wii Mode is a fully virtualized Wii system, relaunching the Wii U to entirely become exactly like a Wii until it is relaunched into native mode. When a Wii game disc is inserted into the Wii U, an appropriate launchable icon appears on the Wii U Menu. Alternatively, the Wii U may be powered on while holding the B button. As with a native Wii system, the Wii Mode's internal storage memory is limited to 512 MB, and the SD Card Menu can utilize a card up to 2TB. This appears on the Wii U menu as a game, not an application.

There are a few slight differences between the Wii U's Wii Mode and a native Wii system. The data management settings are accessible, but the Wii System Settings are not. The Wii Shop Channel is fully available for the purchase of Wii software; however, its Netflix, Hulu Plus, and YouTube applications cannot be used. The system must be relaunched into Wii U mode, in order to utilize the native versions of these applications.
