<p>Nintendo has released a new system update for the Wii U which allows gamers to take advantage of a whole range of new features, albeit the best being that you can now play Wii games through the Wii U GamePad.</p>
<p>Granted, you are still required to use a Wii Remote/Nunchuck when playing the games but thanks to the built-in sensor bar, you can literally just place the Wii U GamePad on a stand and use it as another television set entirely.</p>
<p>The update also included sharing screenshots to social media websites, support for USB keyboards and automatic downloads for suggested software and demos through Nintendo&#8217;s SpotPass.</p>
