In 1 week, wii firmware update...

Not reallythey still didn't block the twilight hack and that has been out for months.


That was a small issue. It was so uncommon I'm sure they saw no need to deal with it. Anyone can use this, and I doubt it will even take a full week to get the firmware to shut this down.

 According to Team Twiizer, the firmware to stop this was pushed out back in March, but Nintendo still have not updated the system menu (or any games) to utilise the latest firmware.

 This brings the question, what is Nintendo waiting for? Given that there have been numerous chances to push out updated firmware (MKWii, WiiFit, WiiWare), why would they have given them 2 months to get this up and running, rather than stopping them beforehand, especially since WiiWare games can be pirated only because they haven't updated the system menu. 



Around the Network

Wow, if anyone is worried about this leading to piracy in the next week, they need to actually take a look at what an N64 rom looks like on this. It's horrible. i nearly got physically nauseous just watching the textures run rampant...

Also, it's entirely possible that nintendo is looking at this as raising a new development pool. The homebrew community is certainly doing more for Wii than the developers of Ninja Breadman.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.
