Wii U system update on the way that fixes Mario Kart 8’s YouTube errors

Nintendo is preparing a new system update for its Wii U console to fix a specific bug with YouTube connectivity.

It’s a pretty cool feature, posting highlights straight from kart racer Mario Kart 8 to YouTube, but it’s not working out that easy for everyone. Since Nintendo updated the game last week, many gamers now get the error code 104-1852 when they try uploading a highlight reel. Luckily, Nintendo is aware of the problem and is preparing a system update to rectify it. That it’s acting fast is further proof that the Japanese gaming giant — not always considered the most cutting-edge of the three big console manufacturers —  is starting to get a handle on integrating social features with its systems.
