This would have been nice to have a few months ago, I almost returned my copy of Super Mario Galaxy when I put it in and the game logo didn't show up on the Disc Channel because I thought it was defective but it turned out it only needed to update my Wii.

I wonder if it has anything to do with recent developments...

My article was so much better :(

Just kidding.  But yes, there has been some early speculation that it is related to the Twilight Princess exploit.

I've heard that that's been checked out and the exploit still works.  I just can't remember where I've heard it at.

Probably has to do with Smash Bros. coming out.

Does this fix the Friend Code problem?

Yup, now you just enter your SSN

=O

I don't really see how a firmware update could fix a buffer overflow problem in a specific game, but perhaps I'm not thinking creatively enough. I mean, the bug is in the game assuming the horse's name, read from the save file, is valid (as in, less than X characters) instead of checking the validity of a save file. ...Wii games aren't designed with patches in mind.

I'm thinking that Nintendo is going to stop the homebrew. Knowing Nintendo, they are going to do that somehow.

What about GameCube info popping up in the Disk channel.  I mean come on, it's such an easy fix to have the Wii do it if the GameCube could do it.

So when does the external hard drive support come in, version 15.0 update?

Noticed my japanese wii now shows japanese famous? people on the mii contest channel icon now randomly.

Or maybe logging gamecube play time.  Even if it doesn't say the title of the game(which the system does know)

QFT. I have a wireless sensor bar so it's an even BIGGER hassle for me.

Do you have a Classic Controller? If so, you should plug it into the remote and use the analog stick to move the cursor in those circumstances so you don't need the sensor bar.

You can use the classic controller's stick to move the Wii menu cursor?  Why can't you use a 'Cube controller like that? D:

Cuz Nintendo is an "AND" company.

AND Nintendo doesn't want you to use old failure technology.

hopefully game patching means Megaman in Smash Bros.
