Hmm, didn't see anybody talk about this (maybe because it's only available in Japan right now) but Nintendo launch the Everybody's Nintendo Channel.

Here's a nice video demo:

It's a nice little feature and I can't wait when it launch in North America.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So a new Wii firmware is out, 3.3U/E to be exact (no Japan yet). So what's updated and patched?

Quote:

With this update, you can now move a Mii from the Mii Plaza to The Mii Parade in the Mii Channel. To do this, simply pick up a Mii using the A and B Buttons and then release it over the Mii Parade icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.

WOW SUCH AWESOME FEATURE NINTENDO! ...not!

Quote:

Because unauthorized modifications to save files may impair game play or the Wii console, updating to Wii Menu version 3.3 will also check for and automatically remove such save files.

Uh-oh! This smells trouble. But so far it only affect the Twilight Princess hack which is use run homebrew. With the update the Wii will do:
- Check for TP savegame in Wii System Memory. If invalid (aka find horse name MORE than 6 characters), it deletes it.
- Check TP savegame when copying from SD card to Wii System Memory. If invalid, states that it cannot be copy.

So that's all for the update, right? NOPE! It does more than that!
It blocks the "Trucha Signer" bug that allow people to re-sign the disc/ISO. This means you cannot block the "error 001" that detects modchip (well if you have an old modchip that doesn't have firmware update), have custom data (ie, Guitar Hero 3 custom songs, Manhunt 2 "uncensored", swapping characters movesets, characters voices and/or songs in Brawl or modifiiding data so you can cheat on MKWii online) and, oh yes... Freeloader doesn't work anymore!

Of course you can avoid all of this, especially if you're using freeloader and/or like running homebrew apps (I like to backup my Brawl and MKWii savegame JUST IN CASE Nintendo!), by not updating... but a future game WILL force you to update your Wii. :/

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Geez! I have to go through 8 pages to find this topic to bump it!

Anyway, remember how Mr. Iwata said back around October 2008 (I think; during the conference when they announce the DSi) that they will have a "storage solution" for the Wii? Well, presenting...

Wii System Menu 4.0!
Nintendo already said we will never see a HDD for the Wii so the next best thing they did was (officially) added SDHC support AND you can now run WiiWare and VC games off from the SD card slot! If you're worry about loading don't. Nintendo (and others) claims it only takes about 5 seconds to start the game up. So that's good!

*psst* Updating your Wii WILL block/disable running "homebrew".

Though it's late it sure DOES solved the storage solution. As I see it just getting a cheap 4GB SDHC card can hold MORE VC/WiiWare games than storing it in the Wii internal storage memory. Save game data will be only be read and write in the internal storage memory so I don't think you'll run out of space (because really how many GOOD Wii games are out there?).

EDIT: To make it clear, Nintendo stated that you can run channels from the SD card. So I guess that also include things like the Mario Kart, Wii Fit, Everybody's Vote, Check Mii Out, Wii Speak, Internet and Nintendo Channel as well (did I forget anything else?).

Speaking of Mario Kart, Nintendo finally doing something about those hackers/cheater. They're now BANNING them from Wi-Fi. When I say Wi-Fi I mean EVERY Wi-Fi games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and even Animal Crossing: City Folks. Though right now you can call Nintendo to get yourself unbanned. Sure they'll give you the "speech" about you breaking their ToS/EULA (or whatever it's called) and then give you a warning. I heard that they will start the permanent ban on April 2nd (because people will think that it's an April Fools joke if it was on the 1st). But don't take my word for it. lol
