ABF, the last update didn't fix the load time issues. The upcoming one will do that. I NEVER have a problem with frequent updates, so long as the update process itself is quick and smooth. The 360 USED to have that sort of quickness, and the 3DS DOES have that sort of quickness.
Besides, there's still a lot that needs fixing on the Wii U. Wii games, for example, shouldn't require the original Wii OS to load up before they can be run.
One of the updates will allow FUTURE updates to install themselves while the system is "off", so that will cut down on things too.
I'm fairly good at pipe dream, but it does get reused a little often. Bioshock, for example, used it in yet another nonsensical "hacking" mini-game. (Nothing about hacking has ever even remotely resembled a hacking mini-game. They tend to make the little girl in Jurassic Park "hacking" the 3D representation of an OS (which she somehow instantly "recognized" as Unix) seem brilliant by comparison.) With any luck, they'll introduce some fun game mechanics to spice up the formula. That said, I miss the Gameboy Donkey Kong style of the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
