[Wii] Wii Discussion Thread: Lukage is a whiny prat

A... A Wii Discussion thread? Why... what a rare occasion! Well since no one's reported this in the forums (I'm guessing everyone has read it on the internet), I shall do the honors of posting some new Wii news to add to this promising (and hopefully long-lasting) Wii thread!

---Photo Channel Updates in December---
"Official Nintendo Schmizzles and Shebangs"

For the lazy:
1) Apparently Nintendo will be taking out MP3 compatibility for AAC files (aka MP4 or .m4a files). Now while that's awesome for audiophiles, who the hell uses MP4/AAC? Oh wait, iTunes. In any case, it shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps if you'd want, there's probably a MP3 to MP4/AAC converter out there anyways.
2) Audio playback can now be in random order (wondering why they didn't do it in the first place :P).
3) You can customize the Photo Channel icon with your own photo on the Wii Menu.
4) Wii's sold from early December onwards will have AAC compatibility from the start. Those who have it before will be able to download it.

So pretty minor stuff really, but they're updates nonetheless!



*edit* Now the Check Mii Out Channel has it's own thread *edit*

Most amazing jew boots

I'm taking that you were writing at the same time I did, so you missed an example of what these threads are for . Firmware updates, channel updates and other system related news goes here, if I'm correct.

As for the Photo Channel update, I'm a little disappointed for taking the MP3 compatibility away but I'm betting there a way to convert MP3s into MP4/AAC files. Of course, a simple Google/GFF search is all to do this I need but having to convert my library of MP3s is going to be a hassle (though I probably don't need to convert all of it... just the ones good for photo slide-shows. No whining for me then).

Actually, does anyone on GFF use the photo channel apart from me?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
