Now if only we could theme these menus like the 3ds will soon be able to...

This update may have somthing to do with the Smash bros Wii u and 3ds  version connectivity. What exactly is the connectivity between the two verions supposed to do ???

Why is it that no system can just launch with good functioning folders? Except the Vita. It's such a handy feature!
