Take or leave these rumours but heres whats been thrown around at the moment:
- A disc country code configuration tool for developers has been added which confirms that the Wii is not region free
- Support for origin reset via pushing the A,B, + and – buttons simultaneously for three seconds on the Wii remote
- Support for mitigating screen burn in and stopping the drive motor, these will kick in if the controller input remains constant over a period of time
- Support for firmware/system menu auto update, a patch in the developers library which update the firmware and system menu automatically after execution
- Wireless Controller settings and save data operations to the main menu
- Full mode has been added to Wii pointer where you not only get the object co-ordinates and size but also the object range, pixel count and radius
- Support for Wii remote speaker output which allows sound to be played from the speaker same way as it is from other channels
- Wii remote setup items have been added such as motor mode, sensor bar position and speaker volume,
- Support for 50 Hz progressive mode display abandoned, for progressive display 60Hz must be used
- There has been known issues of normal pairing with the fourth Wii remote takes a long time and sometimes pairing with another Wii remote will be suddenly lost. Perhaps a reason for the lack of 4-player support on a lot of the launch titles
- The Wii remote options are no longer stored per controller but as common values in the Wii console
- The Wii remote ID of each player number from the last connection is saved and the same number will be assigned on the next connection
