If you dont want your Wii to be impotent.. well, read this anyway http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/746/746907p1.html It would seem that we were quick to boo microsoft, and now Wii is having to face the same stuff. :noooo:
Cheers for the heads up, hope ninendo sort it out before the japanese launch. Looks like mine wont get connected online till i know its not gonna get bricked. The ps3 has been having the same problems with updates bricking the machine as well. Some poor sod on ntsc uk has fallen victim to it.
Who knew, having an updateable OS makes our beloved consoles into what we hate most. PC with updates, bugs, and frequent crashes. At least on the PC you can fix it yourself.
This is the double-edged sword that I always feared by adding internet connectivity to consoles. Why do something right the first time when you can get it out as fast as possible when it's not ready and patch the problems as they come along. It also proves that tying the virtual console games directly to the system is also a major clusterfuck. The way Nintendo is also handling systems that people have to send back due to having Virtual Console games is also total BS. They need to suck it up and start overnight shipping to fix these problems. Taking 4-10 days just to get the label to ship it back is totally outrageous.
I updated my Wii-tendo and had no problems at all,but I was playing wii sports and had the game freeze and make a buzzing sound.
According to gamefaqs (yeah not the most reliable source) It might have somthing to do with certain wireless routers causing the wii to spaz out. A few people on there have fixed the problem by changing the operating frequency of their wifi router. Although nintendo should have done their homework & thoroughly tested it with all the main routers on the market. I'll probably be going on with nintendo's usb wifi dongle till i can get the adapter to plug my cable modem into the wii via usb.
