The Wii just got updated. Nothing special but some enhancements.

Hopefully we will get a demo channel eventually. I dream of a smash bros brawl single level multiplayer demo months before the game is released! Imagine that, the servers would crash! 5 million+ people trying to download the one file simultaneously.

This update could have gotten the system ready for some other enhancement to the system like the demo channel or something else. It was a pretty small update all around.

Good. The setup for the Address book and game accomplishments and calendar entries should never have been tied together.

I like how now the channels all look...functiony...if that makes any sense.

I keep all my VC games on the Wii menu to the right. And the front page sort of looks active, like vagas or something...anyone get what I'm saying? It all looks pretty cool to me. I just want them to add more things that make me want to come back to the Wii Menus for a bit. Like...your Wii should be able to tell which games you own...and I know it can, it tells you how long you play a game. And maybe based on your save files, you should be able to compare games with friends.

Like all you pretty much can do, is message your friends...change their Mii and nickname. You should be able to iuno...do some more things...compare games for example. See what they did in their 'Today's accomplishments', y'know something like that.

Also speaking of 'Today's Accomplishments', apparently they also added that it makes a note when you send messages to your friends. This is a nice feature and all but, it's doesn't really note any real...accomplishments.

It basically just says how long you've played a game for, how long you spent in a channel, and now if you send any messages to your friends. These don't really seem like anything to pat yourself on the back for...

I like how in Wii Sport and in Wii Play, they would tell you when you got a gold medal, broke a record, became the champion, whatyour fitness level was that day, and even the first time you played the game with a new Mii. These weren't even in 'Today's Accomplishments' though...seems to me they should let 3rd parties have access to these things. Like when you beat a game, or get a highscore or anything like that. Could be Nintendo's acheivements points so to speak. Cept not really competative.

What else could they have...

...like, when you unlocked everything in a game, it could note it. If you become 'Striker of the Day' or rank in the top ten in the season charts for Mario Strikers: Charged. Hmm...um...iuno wtv, anything like that.

NOw that I think of it... Wii Sports kinda does that... Why doesn't Nintendo let devs do that too, or is it just that hte devs don't feel like it?

It would be nice if they added a demo channel. Maybe they'll do something like that when those WiiWare games are out next year.

When you sent your Wii to Nintendo last time, did you have to get the updates again?

Nope.All those Wii updates I got before my Wii broke (the first time) were there.I'll probably have to update my console again to get this new update.Hopefully,I'll be getting it this week and start my speed run of Twilight Princess.:D

You ever consider that that may be what's breaking your console?

Speed runs?

It's a nice update, but I'm still waiting for the features and connectivity with the DS they promised. A demo channel that allowed you to download both Wii and DS demos (one of the things I think I remember them promising) would be a good start.
