Wii Firmware update

Postby i_amtrunks » Wed Aug 08, 2007 7:49 pm

Summary by Stephen, of Theyareamongus:
Channels:
-Digital Clock added to the Wii Menu right under the channel bar
-Forecast Channel now displays the current condition (cloudy, raining, etc.) directly in the Wii Menu in the Forecast Channel box
-News Channel can now show 2 scrolling headlines at a time in the Wii Menu, 3 when you click on the button (supposedly this requires occasional downloading of the headlines to keep the ticker updated)
-Message Board now has the "Today's Accomplishments" message as a white message which allows it to stand out from other messages
-Address Book entries can now be shifted around using A+B (supposed to be a launch feature) but only to empty spaces. Not too convenient.
-Calendar in Message Board no longer shows "Today's Accomplishment" only days as having messages
-Scrolling messages in the Message Board now uses a different sound
-Today's Accomplishments in Message Boards now includes the names of people to whom messages were sent out

Wii Shop Channel Overhauled:
-New Welcome screen detailing 4 Recommended Titles and the points they cost (gone is the title screen bar that had linkable games). The title bar can be clicked on to bring up a list of 20 recommended games.
-Titles You've Downloaded was moved to the main shop menu
-New ways to browse
-Popular Titles (2 pages of 10 and includes launch games so not only based on recent info)
-Newest Additions remains the same
-Search for a title which can use partial names
-Search by Category
-System shows the different systems and how many titles have been released under each
-Publisher showing different publishers and amount of titles released (Nice logos! )
-Genre (different genres listed and amount of titles under each)

Accessibility:
-Load times in interchannel loading has supposedly decreased
-Password fields filled in using the keyboard (like on the Internet Channel) now display asterisks

Settings:
-Warning added pre-system update detailing that technically modified consoles may cease to function upon being updated. Also the only way to not accept an update is to power down the console by holding the button for 4 seconds (the user can't back out of hitting I Accept w/o powering down)
-Ability to quickly scroll the different options pages using the +,- keys
-Blue disc light lights up when inserting or removing a game
-Light also comes on when starting the Forecast or News Channels
Awesomesauce; Use it, you know you want to.

I'm always up for a good system update but these take forever to finish loading.

I've got one already. Not too shabby. It's already getting better reviews than the latest proto of the Wii Zapper (although until the final product is released, judgement is reserved).

Looks like there was another firmware update today. Mostly just a fix to stop lockups on certain functions.

Yes sir. It also fixed some connection problems that people were having with the Nintendo Wii adapter and connections in general.

I loved downloading the Metroid 3 Channel. The videos are really kickass. They also updated those as well, now four videos and the game looks friggin' fantastic. Two more videos come out August 16th. :D
