Wii Firmware Update

edited August 2007 in Gaming
A few days ago, Nintendo released a firmware update for the wii, as far as i know here apparently is whats bene updated:

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

Wii Shop Channel Overhauled (Visual aesthetic is the same, changes made to organization and browsing methods mostly)

* 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
* Genre (different genres listed and amount of titles under each)



Just to let you cool cats of the community know theres a new update and whats happened, incase you didn't know :)

    When I updated, I noticed an issue. After the update, I was unable to connect to my network. I went to the network setting, and saw that the update had changed my 'active' connection to Connection 1 (which currently refers to a Wireless router that is not in use), all I had to do was change the default connection back to Connection 2, but it's something to keep in mind if you haven't updated yet.
