The bricking is about the channel that everyone knows but can't be talked here. If you don't have anything illegal, your Wii is safe.

nope, they ahve seen report that no-illegal Wii got affected. Nintendo is even fixing those for free.

Updated with no problem. I'm pretty sure the reports are from fear mongers or people with unauthorized software installed (no matter what they say).

Honestly i don't know why people are scared to update. Just do it.

i found out about the bricking wii's and i still went ahead and updated because it knew it was VERY RARE that i would happen to my wii.

Also if anything did happen, nintnedo would fix it for free.

my vote went to updated without a problem

I chose option F: "This update doesn't actually do anything for me, so I haven't bothered with it."

Yes, it is true. You can check an administrator post at the Official Nintendo Tech Support Forums.

It does allow you to go on the Wii Shop channel again. Also I personally think this whole things overblown. I think most people reporting problems without modifications are liars. If anyone got bricked without modifications, it's a really small number, probably about the same number that get bricked with any firmware update.

As far as I know it would only get bricked if you had illegal software or save data.

A bricked wii is a dead wii :( it won't turn on it won't do anything, it acts just like a brick.

insect13

Well I suppose it depends on if it got bricked because of illegal reasons or not. Nintendo would be able to restore your Wiiware and VC games but not your save files.
