The second firmware update, version 2.1.0, is now available for the Wii U. According to IGN, this new update "offers improvements to overall system stability, as well as other minor adjustments to improve the Wii U experience." The update is said to be 593 MB in size, and can take between 30 minutes to 2 hours to download, depending on how fast your Internet connection is.
