Hopefully it doesn't affect the photo channel - I don't want the update for it.

I used the photo channel to draw a penis on ex-girlfriend's forehead. I also gave her a moustache.

She pissed me off.

That's the only time I've used the Photo Channel.

There are a few behind-the-scenes things affected, too. I know a few people were complaining about a "flashing pixel problem" that the update fixes.

I guess that means that I'll continue to ignore that blue glow until I'm high enough to actually put in Endless Ocean...

Funny - we always ignore the blue light too. I saw it on this morning and told my gf that the Wii wanted to talk to her - she prompty walked away.

As far as endless ocean, we too have only put it in for about 20 minutes when it first arrived. I need to find the inspiration to play it.

"That little blue glow promises only version 3.2, a Disc Channel change that lets you know when an inserted disk has an update on it."

So I take it they're allowing patches now? Or did I interpret this incorrectly?

No, it's just that when you put in a disc, say, Super Mario Galaxy, that has a newer firmware than what your Wii has, it'll scroll across the bottom of the disc channel now.

I THINK that's now it works at least...every game I have has already applied its update if it had one, but that's how I read it.

...I say nothing important, humorous, or otherwise noteworthy, and I get upvoted to the max.

What?

Shut up Wii! Get back in your cage and don't talk to me until you have something important to say. Or until March 9th, whichever comes first...

*sigh*

I am so jaded over the Wii now. I hate my Wii. If it weren't for Smash Bros I would have burnt it to the ground already. Every time I look at it sitting there on my shelf collecting dust I almost throw up. I am so done with it and all its shovelware. It has two games that I like. Period. And one of those games is a damned Gamecube game.

That's right. I said it all. I am a Nintendo Freaking Fanboy and I can't wait for the Wii to go die in a corner somewhere. I am tired of waggling my hands around and saying its more fun than Mass Effect.

Oh boy, a new stupid update. I guess I'll actually have to sign online with my stupid Wii for the first time since January just so I can not notice anything different. Ugh.

*barfs*

Okay, I'm done now. Sorry, kids.

I just really hope that Smash Bros. rules.

I know how you feel. March 9th will be the day when I will look at my dusty friend for my new fix.

I was sorely disappointed in the update.

Give me a MP3 or DivX playback channel
Give me HD compatibility
Give me the Everybody's Nintendo channel
Give me a Pandora channel (Finetune sucks, don't offer it to me as a recommendation).

Give me something other than these damn useless upgrades. I love my Wii, and don't regret the purchase one bit but dammit Nintendo, I was some basic functionality from this machine that we've come to expect in this day and age.

It's not about the waggle, it's about the IR. That's where it's at, and that's where the core developers developing core games will migrate.

I LOVE updating my Wii. I just got a weird connection, so I want to see how fast it updates this time compared to my wireless internet.

So who provides your weird connection? And is it really weird or just a little weird?

Its weird as in 100 feet. And I got the thing from Nintendo. What took 10 minutes to update now take about 10 seconds (Not really, more like 20-30 seconds, I just wanted to say that)
And I use cox.

LAME...now give us our Everyones Nintendo Channel. I don't know what's taking Nintendo so long to bring that out here in the states!

Pick the oddest things to update, they do. Many things (and not just fanboy demands like HDD support or whatever) should be a little higher on their list

This gen is first that handheld (DS) got more loving so far than the home console (Wii) from me. May be because away from home so mostly DS is only console available, or may be that this handheld has more than just pokemon and Wii hasn't shown tremndous amount of stuff yet (though saying that I've barely any VC games, still load of games I want but don't have).

On second thought, I'm just away from home and hence from Wii, thats why it doesn't get any love except for the huge orgies during holidays.

Man I hardly touch my DS anymore. I wonder if the battry still holds a charge it's been so long....
I think the Everyones Nintendo channel will change that though.

WiiWare will do a hell of a lot to get me playing Wii since with most main console games (and even VC since they basically are meant for same time periods) I'll only play if got few hours free to play.

Everyones Nintendo Channel will encourage me to get my Wii out, even if its just for access to DS demos.
