there is obviously more to this update, cause think about it.

Who needs it to display in the disk channel something about updating your console. Chances are anyone would click the disk channel when they put a disk in anyway, and the moment you do, there is no way to avoid being told about a system update.....that is always on the disk by the way!!!!

this was a firmware update to try and lockdown the hardware from modders. I don't ever understand why companies just can't come out and say that.

Companies suck?

Theme support be nice. Little clips for games be cool. Though I would like to have sub-channels. Maybe be able to set the weather or news as you background.

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.

Nope; I can confirm that hasn't changed!

I just was a recipient of a wii mail from Nintendo. The update is for wiiware to download such titles.

Why can't we delete the stupid Forcast Channel anyways? I mean that and the Photo Channel are the only 2 I do not use and if I could delete them it would free up a lot of space and 2 more slots.

I agree. I personally don't use the News channel either because if I want the news I can just look that up through the internet channel.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #132 on:** March 21, 2008, 02:11:24 AM »

Well I use the news channel, can't stand the slow internet channel but I do like the convenience of the news channel. But my Wii is hooked up to my PC so it doesn't really make sense I would use the Internet Channel anyways.

New version for Europe. My guerss is that they did it to "fix" the Freeloader.

Gamejunkie · « **Reply #134 on:** March 21, 2008, 08:50:44 AM »

It's already been confirmed by people in Europe that the update does not affect the use of Freeloader. Apparently it's still working just fine even after this update.

It's because the news and forecast channel was a part of a firmware upgrade and that makes them not removable.

It might be a bit slower to use the browser t o find the news, but there is an advantage in that it lets you pick which source you get your news from. I'm not saying the News Channel is full of censorship or anything, but there is alot more that happens every day than can be covered by a single source so you're best off using multiple sources. Plus, if you make your news site a favorite in the internet channel it doesn't really take that long to get to it.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #137 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:07:41 PM »

I know, what I was saying is I have my Wii hooked INTO my PC, so if I want to go online, I close the browser displaying the Wii and use Firefox. I use the news channel for a quick check in the morning as to what is going on in the world only if I am getting on the wii first. Even when I hook the Wii into my TV, my Tv sets next to my PC so I always have access to the "real" internet. But My setup is unique so I can see your point also.

The new update allows you to transfer the Miis you aren't using to the Mii Parade.Also any miis that you transfer you won't be able to use in game and you will lose the save data if you send that mii away.There is also something about the Twilight Hack being disabled. But not The Homebrew Channel.

blackfootsteps · « **Reply #139 on:** June 17, 2008, 01:15:36 AM »

Apparently it blocks the Freeloader and removes any foreign save files as well. Interestingly, Smash Bros comes out in about a week in the PAL regions. Coincidence?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #140 on:** June 17, 2008, 06:15:19 AM »

Yep, that's Nintendo. The update text says something about "unauthorized saves can damage your console, this update deletes them". Yeah, because there's no fucking way I could ever delete saves myself. Time to look for a PSP-style total firmware hack.

Anyway, that just confirms Brawl as a no-buy but can anyone think of another game Nintendo will put out after that? I don't recall them announcing anything beyond Brawl. Or at least nothing that had me listening. The Nintendo Channel doesn't go past Brawl either.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #141 on:** June 17, 2008, 09:27:13 AM »

Yeah, if you want to install the homebrew channel, do it now, and then update, if you even want the update. It adds almost zero functionality anyway.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #142 on:** June 17, 2008, 01:15:37 PM »

At least Nintendo was smart enough to add SOMETHING beneficial instead of just an firmware update to prevent hacks.

Really, Nintendo needs to have a really awesome upgrade though like better SD card support and then lock all hacking out...and perhaps turn the Weather and News channel into actual channels so we can delete them.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #143 on:** June 17, 2008, 02:57:51 PM »

How do I ad the homebrew channel? Also do any of you guys know if it gimps power saves from the Action Replay?

The only new DS game is Ninja Gaiden. Woo.

I'm Going to now embark on my regular rant.

For goodness sake. Most updates with my PS3 I get something tangible. Wii almost never. Could have at least thrown us a better bone for are get rid of hacks update... blah...

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #146 on:** October 22, 2008, 10:43:14 PM »

Well there is a new update. I haven't received a wii mail from Nintendo yet so I don't know what it is yet.The Shop Channel is undergoing maintenance though.

kraken613 · « **Reply #147 on:** October 22, 2008, 11:02:56 PM »

Yep just saw that too.... Im installing now. Seems to be slow. Maybe its a BIG update? Or maybe its just me!

EDIT: Well I don't see any differences. Still 3.3.........

Ya I'm waiting on that stupid shop channel to finish that maintenance.

I updated and now the channel works, I don't know if that was a cause and effect thing..

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #149 on:** October 22, 2008, 11:30:40 PM »

It probably wasn't. I updated first then checked the channel and it didn't work.

I will keep checking wikipedia and my wii to see what the update was.
