Netflix has updated their Wii U app bringing better UI, improved performance and lot of new features including profiles and auto play. Netflix has not issued any official statement about the update, but users are reporting that the interface has changed, profiles are available, and more.
Details about the update was first reported on a Wii U subreddit on Reddit.com, where users reported yesterday that there was a new version of the app available when they launched Netflix. The new update brings profiles, auto-play and more.
The auto-play feature allows you to queue episodes, so that the next episode auto-starts after the last one ended. You can also set up profiles, allowing you to keep your content and watching habits separate from others in the family. You can start a movie or TV show back where you left it off, as well, meaning you will not have to scroll forward through content any longer.
Finally, the UI was updated and many issues related to the old UI like slowness are no fixed. Overall, the update brings about changes that many Netflix users have already enjoyed, and finally gets the Wii U up on level playing ground.
