Well, here we are in 2021 – the 3DS has been discontinued, and the focus is now entirely on Switch, which is almost four years old. Despite everything that happens with its hybrid platform, it seems that Nintendo still has enough time in its loaded program to update older systems.
In this case, we are talking about the Wii U. The system has just been updated for the first time since September 2018. The patch notes are not so interesting, but still – it is an update for the Wii U in 2021.
Here is the full summary, courtesy of the official Nintendo support page:
Ver. 5.5,5 U (March 1, 2021)

Further improvements have been made to the overall stability of the system and other minor adjustments to improve the user experience.
