When I checked the games they were still the same. What to the VC game updates do?

Just small things, like I think a Mario Kart 64 update was to fix a bug where it would freeze if you did something specific, and Star Fox 64's update had to do with control mapping and slow down, and I think they even released an update for that TG16 game Nectaris/Military Madness game that fixed an issue where some stuff would be displayed off the tv screen actually.

Didn't the SF64 patch INTRODUCE slowdown?

Nintendo. Making games worse. For everyone.

Yeah I'm pretty sure there were pros and cons. You got something good in exchange for slower frame rates.

I never heard of a second patch for SF64... details?

Another couple of updates in version 3 that have gone by un-noticed.

1. On the wii options screen (EG - screen, sensor bar) You can now press + and - to go from the left to right screens, just like the main channel screen. Originally you had to click the arrows on the sides (Yayyyyy)

2. When you recieve a message (Not including play history) the little envelope in the bottom right of the Wii channel screen will pulse and make a noise.

3. Also: before if the Wii was on standby and flashing blue indicating a recieved message, the flashing stopped once you'd turned on the console. The drive now stays flashing blue until you've checked your messages.

4. The drive flashes a different pattern when you get a message to how it used to. It now goes from dark blue, to light blue, then blinks twice before repeating.

Its nice finding little changes like this. Anyone else seen these, or have I missed any?

Dan.

i'm pretty sure all have been noticed except number 1

EasyCure · « **Reply #108 on:** August 17, 2007, 04:44:59 AM »

actually im pretty sure someone else mentioned being able to change screends in the options/settings menue with the + and - buttons before

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #109 on:** August 17, 2007, 09:14:33 AM »

I have not experienced the fan turning on in standby mode.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #110 on:** August 17, 2007, 09:22:49 AM »

I am still hearing the clicking sound when the system is going back to the main menu.

You're supposed to hear that click.

was that clock there before..and the wii shop channel has more options

chaingunsofdoom · « **Reply #113 on:** August 20, 2007, 12:29:47 PM »

It looks like the "Everybody Votes Channel" is giving more region specific questions now too. Unless you guys are also getting the questions about Canada every week?

vudu · « **Reply #114 on:** February 25, 2008, 10:05:25 PM »

New update available. 3.2

I think it's just a behind-the-scenes update, because nothing looks new from what I can tell.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #115 on:** February 25, 2008, 10:15:19 PM »

That's boring. Nintendo needs to release more updates that actually do stuff.
Like making their SD card support not suck.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #116 on:** February 25, 2008, 10:22:42 PM »

This update is supposed to improve performance. Maybe it will fix the long-pause-on-a-black-screen problem that seems to happen if you haven't turned on your Wii for a few days.

vudu · « **Reply #117 on:** February 25, 2008, 10:33:32 PM »

GOD FORBID. I use that time to balance my checkbook.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #118 on:** February 26, 2008, 09:23:08 AM »

Update told me (in a squeaky little voice) it had to do with if the game requires an update it will say so in the disc channel and if not the game name will show in the disc channel so that you can know right off if you need to update your system to play the game.

This gets me about the Nintendo Updates. I have yet to have one with any real meat to it. Seriously each and every time I've updated the PS3 I've gotten new support for a something or another. Be it themes, media streaming, interface changes, etc. I've heard the 360 is the same way.

Nintendo hasn't really given me anything but backend changes and a clock. Why I know there important. I just wish for a little more substance.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #120 on:** February 26, 2008, 01:22:16 PM »

You mean like real games?

Care to list what you would like to see changed? Considering the Wii doesn't need new themes, media-streaming, or interface changes, I just would like to know what else they could possibly do (besides, you know, new channels, which are coming SOMEDAY)...

PlanetGamecube was the place to bitch about stuff, NOT NintendoWorldReport!

=P

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #123 on:** February 26, 2008, 03:05:06 PM »

Theme support would be nice, actually. The sound that plays when you go to the Wii Menu has really started to grate on my nerves.

I'd like to see the usual stuff that's requested ... better SD support, a better way to file my VC games, etc.
