Nintendo has just released a new System Update for the
Wii consoles. Here is a letter from Nintendo.
Dear Customer,
Nintendo would like to inform you that a Wii Menu update is now available. Select the Update button on the right to update your Wii Console.
From this version of the Wii Menu onwards, Wii System Update will be displayed in the Disc Channel when you insert a Wii Disc that contains an update for the Wii Menu or for a Channel on the Wii Menu.
If the update contained on the Disc is not necessary for your Wii console, the Disc Channel will be displayed normally.
Note: if you have already updated your Wii console since 26 February 2008, you do not need to update again.
Nintendo
The part in bold most likely is referring to games like Mario Kart
Wii, which includes a
Wii channel that allows you to check Wi-Fi rankings of other people from around the world. More
Wii games in the future will most likely be using this feature. What are Nintendo planning?
For those who own
Wii's, get the update now. It seems that you won't be enjoying Mario Kart
Wii's online modes to the fullest unless you do.
