New Wii firmware update

Nintendo Wii console

You may notice a blue light emitting on your Nintendo Wii today (August 7th), that’s because there is new content available on the system. The Wii firmware has been updated to version three featuring minor changes to the user interface. The only new feature is a digital clock on the main Wii menu.

As for what other new, here is a breakdown from Nintendo:

Wii Menu
• The weather forecast will now be displayed on the Forecast Channel icon in the Wii Menu.
• Headline news will now be displayed on the News Channel icon in the Wii Menu.
• The current time will now be displayed in the Wii Menu.
• The area around the Wii Message Board button will now flash when a message arrives.

Wii Message Board
• You’re now able to rearrange the order of your Wii Friends in the address book.
• You’re now able to go into the Wii Friends registration screen by pressing the A Button on a blank spot in the address book.
• Envelope message icons will now appear on the calendar only on the dates when a message is received.
• Your message sending history will now be displayed in Today’s Accomplishments.
• You can now scroll the message text by pressing the B button on the message screen.

Wii Shop Channel
• The search function on Virtual Console has been enhanced.

So nothing major and I’m surprised that Wii Ware is still not available. Hopefully a dedicated channel for independent developer titles will be appearing soon.

    There was another update today (August 14th) for the Nintendo Wii. Nothing really major other than some minor tweaks here and there.

    But for those living in the US, there is a dedicated channel devoted to Metroid Prime…
