Oh, that would be handy...  it's not exactly what I would call a menu though...  Any place to make feature suggestions to Nintendo?

Haven't seen this little tidbit mentioned anywhere online yet -- I was checking my WiFi router's DHCP Client registry this evening, and discovered that the Wii now announces itself as such when it obtains an IP address. It used to show up as a blank entry on the list, but now it says "Wii"!

A minor fix, to be sure, but solves a little head-scratching I ran into when I first set it up (had to look at the outgoing logs to see that the unlabeled mystery entry was hitting a lot of wii.com servers!)

Yeah, I have a Netgear FVG318 router as my main access point and it sees the Wii as "Nintendo_Wii".

As for the voice update...when is that coming? that will be pretty sweet!

Updating has it's downsides, it seems thanks to the update people with import Gamecube games and a freeloader are no longer able to play their import games on the WII after the update.

"Nintendo has remained quiet about whether it will fix compatibility problems with third-party software Freeloader, after yesterday's Wii firmware update rendered it unusable.
 
It reiterated to Eurogamer that because it isn't an official product approved by Nintendo, there was nothing it could do.

The Datel disc was originally manufactured for the GameCube, and allowed people to import titles from Japan or the US and play them on their PAL console. And up until now it had the same effect on backwards-compatible GC games played on Wii.

Let's hope then that foreign releases will take less time to appear in Europe in future. "

Onna76,

Did you get burned by that? I seem to remember reading postings in which you talked about import games.

No not me, as I own an import WII ;) The Freeloader kind of busted up my GC in the past so I'm not found of those discs to begin with.
