I've heard this also disrupts the free loader. How irritating; i can't update my system for a while.
Now, I like my Nintendo games, but this I fucking hate; punish hackers, and those that would get around buying your products in order to play them, but I bought Smash Brothers Brawl. Nintendo's terrible penchance for releasing games months apart in different regions in an era where most publishers/developers are trying to release games world-wide as closely as possible just makes them seem out of date. To worsen things, they claim to be at the fore-front with their new-fangled console, make a preposterous amount of money, and yet still they market their games like it's the Goddamn 90s.
Brawl is out in just over a week here, and while i can forgive long developing times I cannot forgive a nearly (4 days out) 6 month difference in release date between the EU and the Japanese. That is fucking obscene. And to come down on those fans who want the game at a reasonable time who were willing to import (still purchasing the product) in this context just seems markedly criminal; I'll essentially have to buy the game again eventually, all for not having the prudency to wait to play the a game that has been finished for half a Goddamn year. They're not winning any sympathy from me, their blundering inadvertent or nay.

HTML probably get converted here but ...
"What is that we hear? It's as if millions of fanboys homebrewers cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."
Fixed that for you. I would expect most Wii fanboys aren't haxing their system...

Make it only a couple, not every wii fanboy is into homebrew and the ones who are in already have the homebrew channel which is free from this patch
Also, 6 house after the release of this patch, a workaround to keep on using the TP hack was discovered, a release is still pending
3.3, I laugh at you and your paradise update
