Nintendo just updated the terms of service - they may now update your system without user confirmation, and actually without even informing the user:

We may without notifying you, download updates, patches, upgrades and similar software to your Wii Console and may disable unauthorized or illegal software placed on your Wii Console to ensure that your Wii Console is operating properly and efficiently, comply with applicable laws, assist law enforcement, protect us and our customers, or prevent the use and distribution of software obtained through improper channels.

Here we go. This could be the real first round between Nintendo and the homebrewers. Prior clashes were nothing more than little jabs back and forth.

The update apparently removes the homebrew channel/homebrew/backup loader upon installation and fixes it so you can't install it anymore. Also there's talk that this update can be downloaded and applied even if you don't accept the download. So keep your Wii offline if you want homebrew!

Keep Wiiconnect 24 off.

From Nintendo:

Is it worth it to have no HBC for Wario land and Captain Rainbow?

Yeah, the homebrew boys better fix this soon. I want to play some Disaster: Day of Crisis someday.

Blue glow, Disconnected Wi-Fi, turned on Wii, had a message from David, then disabled WC24.

Hopefully I can wait to see what's up.

Yeah, it'll be several hours before I can get home and disable WiiConnect24 again. Waiting anxiously in the meantime.

I don't suppose it's kosher to talk about firmware downgrades?

I wonder what it means by updating without any notification. Surely it wouldn't try to update when the system is on standby since someone could easily unplug it and unwittingly brick their Wii.

Is that even legal? I mean, changing user terms AFTER you accepted a different ones? I dont think is legal in Spain, you could even return the console to nintendo directly for changing the terms of use of the console after you bougth it xD

Hm? It doesn't automatically install the firmware so why shut it off? I think I'm still one 3.2 or something. Haven't played a game newer then Brawl. Maybe I would if Amazon would get around to shipping Symphonia to me.

Quick patches could be applied quick.
OR this patches the system to allow it to go into an auto-patch mode if there's a connection when you turn it on.

Good thing the power to my place went out Friday. The power button thing has been red ever since. Haven't turned it on for a while.

I believe the terms of service you accepted contain a clause that allows Nintendo to change the ToS at any time. And it's most definitely legal. Blizzard does the same with World of Warcraft every once in a while for example.

Updates itself?

Removes my homebrew channel?

Prevents me from installing the homebrew channel again?


:eek :eek

*disables WiiConnect24* *disables standby*

Not only that, but installing system critical patches without the consumer being aware of it are a perfect recipe for lawsuits. More than likely, Nintendo will just disable some Internet feature (like the Shop, Nintendo, Everybody Votes, Weather and News channels) until you update so you're encouraged to do so.

To be honest, I've no idea whether it's out in PAL or not - it usually takes a while until we get the updates, doesn't it? But I've heard conflicting reports.

Your chance to take one for the team, wsippel. Check the message and hope it doesn't update itself. :p

Doubt it. I have no friends.


EDIT: Yep, as expected: It's a message from Nintendo, the 3.4 update is out in Europe. It didn't auto-update, though.
