NUS (short for Nintendo Update Server) is a set of HTTP servers used to serve updates for Nintendo's consoles. For the Wii and Wii U, this server is located at http://nus.cdn.shop.wii.com.

Protocol

The Wii uses user agent wii libnup/1.0 for all requests.

To query a list of titles, a SOAP request is sent to /nus/services/NetUpdateSOAP, with action urn:nus.wsapi.broadon.com/. The result is an XML structure containing all titles that require updating.

The request uses the following XML structure:

GetSystemUpdateRequest xmlns=urn:nus.wsapi.broadon.com
