Today, Nintendo released a new firmware update for the Wii, raising it to version 3.1. They sent a message to Wiis everywhere to notify people of the new update.

Dear Customer,

We would like to inform you that you can now update your Wii Menu to version 3.1. To do this, please select the "Update" button at the bottom of your screen.

Please note that you can now use a USB keyboard with the Wii Menu.

This is great, no more cramps in my wrist/fingers/arm/left side of my body(but I'm right handed...WTF) from using rhe Wii-mote for everything. Ninty really listens to its comsumers.
