Wii gets firmware update News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
Nintendo unleashed a Wii firmware update on our region while we slept.
It put its hands inside the machine and tidied up bits and pieces we are never likely to see. This, according to Nintendo, should improve system performance.
The update brings us to firmware version 3.2, which sounds quite respectable and probably is well presented.
If you spot the update doing any other exciting things, let us know. Elsewhere, today is Tuesday and it is sunny in Brighton. Also, Tom has a bad foot.

Tom's bad foot must be gout with all the rich living after the pay rise! ;-)

>I knew it was glowing for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Erm.. it had updated.. That's a reason. I'm surprised (and quite frankly shocked) that no-ones come in this thread to make fun of the fact that this update does some optimization. Come on.. I expect at least one person to do a "i guess it's now as powerful as a ps2" joke. |

Ah, I got all excited when it updated, but it doesn't seem like anything particularly exciting or magical has happened to my Wii. Next time, maybe...
Hey, if anyone from Nintendo is listening; how about some way of customising the size of Channel icons on the main page, so you can fit more on at the same time? Only I've now got 13 Channels, which means that one is shunted to the next page, which is really annoying to this angry pedant. |

Nintendo really need to do something about the Wii's lack of internal memory for storage. Allowing the memory on SD cards to act as a direct extension to the internal memory would be a start as 512 MB really doesn't cut it these days and not allowing games or content to run or be stored directly on SD cards is a big mistake IMO. I've stopped buying VC games now, purely because I've ran out of space on the internal memory and I'm sick of copying files back and forth to an SD card when I want to use them!
SORT IT PLEASE, NINTENDO! NOW!!!!!! |

Aaaand in typical Nintendo fashion the floodgates open to a torrent of information regarding the update.

Well in that case I shall not be spending any more money on VC or, indeed, the forthcoming WiiWare downloads then! It's ridiculous that Nintendo have not considered the possibility of people running out of space on the internal memory now the machine has been out a year, they must think Wii owners don't buy or download many games or something! Or do they think people like deleting and redownloading the stuff they've paid for everytime they want to use it.
P.S. I know Nintendo don't listen... they don't bother replying to emails you send them either, ignorant c****!!!

The update changes your wi-fi rankings based on your racial background, gender, religious beliefs.

Landmaster: Just so long as it doesn't adjust for sexual orientation; like many people, I enjoy having sex with frozen chickens, and I would hate to think it would affect my reputation as a l33t gamer.

I just want my glow to go back to being a nice glooooooow, instead of glooooow FLASH FLASH. It distresses me.

I've sussed it- the update changes the Wii clock speed slightly.
It takes the system from running at Gamecube x 2 to running at Gamecube x2.17 recurring speed. |

"The US consoles got a firmware update last month though that the EURO region seemed to miss out on?"
MORE PROOF nintendo HATES europe. No, yesterdays update is the same as the US one, it just typical Nintendo localisation. |
