If you had a launch Wii, the first firmware update could potentially brick your Wii as far as internet connectivity goes.

You see, Nintendo included new online software (drivers, possibly?) on their first firmware update. Funnily enough, instead of storing the firmware update on the Wii's internal memory, perform a checksum and if everything was ok then flash the bios they instead opted for a more straightforward method: the update was flashed directly to the bios as it downloaded.

It was a happy coincidence that my wireless router resetted while such critical update was being performed.
