Is the disc slot on your Wii glowing blue this morning? It should be, because Nintendo has released a firmware update that makes some changes to the Wii Shop.

After updating, Wii Points will be called Nintendo Points, as Nintendo announced they would when DSi was revealed, but they will otherwise work the same.

The Wii Shop's also seen some minor changes. Nintendo having changed the icons for them and adding a new prompt to confirm you have the controllers before being able to press the purchase button, according to translations of the Japanese Store update text.

Seems it wants to make damn sure all those non-gaming mums have the right 'newfangled' gadgets for the games they purchase.

Other than that, all remains the same. And no, we can't tell you if it break that home-made channel.

Screw updating, 3.2 ftw.

(Mainly for Backup Launcher and Emulators)

It does not break any any currently installed channels. However, it will prevent you from installing the Homebrew Channel, as the signing bug has been fixed on all IOS versions.

It does block new installs of the brew channel and also blocks the Cios' that are available... Hopefully a workaround for brew will be found..

Someone mentioned on another site that this would stop boot2 hacks, which is disappointing. I guess Team Twiizers might come up with a workaround but this would be annoying.

I know, I'm not going to update until Nintendo give me a reason.

So far there is something with Miis and change Wii points to Nintendo points, I'm not missing out on much...

The Twilight Hack could work on another game with a modified version of that saved data, but it hasn't been made yet so it isn't blocked. I think that the game that could be used next is Super Mario Galaxy for the Galaxy Hack.

I installed the twilight hack on my wii just to try it out and uninstalled everything will I be able to update without a brick?
I'm new at this so i don't know much about wiibrew.
