Nintendo sent another message to Wii consoles tonight notifying users of another system update. Apparently there was a stability issue that occurred when the Reset button was pressed while using the Opera Internet Channel. Also, something was done to address stability issues when using the Wii LAN Adapter.
The system version is still 3.0U after running the update, so apparently this small fix was not even worthy of a point release, as it was most likely just a small bug fix after the last system update.
Still, between this, the original 3.0U update, and the Metroid Prime Preview channel, Nintendo has been quite busy utilizing the Wii message board as of late.
The full message that Nintendo is sending out to Wii systems is below.
A new update for your Wii console is available!
This update will prevent your Wii console from locking up, which can occur when using the Internet Channel if you press RESET on either your Wii console or within the HOME Menu. This update also corrects some Internet connection stability issues when using the Wii LAN Adapter from Nintendo.
Please press the Update button on the bottom-right to update your Wii console.
-- Nintendo

I just got the message saying that I did need to download the upgrade. So I went to do it. After I confirmed that I wanted to upgrade, I got the following message:
"IMPORTANT: If you do not want to accept this upgrade, you can shut down you Wii console and cancel the upgrade by holding down the Power Button for four (4) seconds. If your Wii console has an unauthorized technical modification, this upgrade could cause inoperatability of your console."
Aside from the fact that I'm not convinced that "inoperatability" is actually a word, I don't think I've ever seen this message before... anyone else?

- Super Smash Bros. Brawl online mode
- The use of an external hard drive.
- Using the remote to reset/exit during a GCN game.

The first wouldn't fall under the jurisdiction of a Wii Firmware update, and I'm still surprised there are so many people who believe there's a real chance of it not happening. The second is very much necessary to me, I currently have less than 100 blocks and that's after deleting half a dozen games; I sent Nintendo feedback pleading for such a feature, anyone else who wants/needs more space should too. The final suggestion is one I'd love to see, and it would get me to play more GameCube games.

QuoteI've never seen that message before. Then again, Nintendo didn't even tell me about the past two or three updates. If it wasn't for the Internet, I'd be stuck on the crappy 1.x version.
