Wii
Platform »
The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.
Nintendo Firmware 4.3U released... Do NOT update!
People tend to get up in arms about any thread that even hints at piracy because they don't want it to sully the reputation of the board or for whatever other reason I can't think of at the moment. My best guess is that it has to do with global warming.
Most of these members are typically good people. Decent people. Kind people. The type of people that would wave at you as you walked down the street. Actually, many of these people have pirated MP3s, games, ROMs, or television shows, etc at some point. Perhaps their outcries are that of a guilty conscience trying to justify their actions by thinking to themselves, "At least I don't go starting threads about this on forums!" Or perhaps they just want to join in with the mob and have a good ol' fashion tar and feathering.
Sure, there will be one or two squeaky clean members who will go out of their way to make sure everyone knows they have never downloaded anything. Not even demos of games for fear that could be construed as pirating in some countries (probably Luxembourg or Iceland, you know how those tiny countries are -- pure EVIL)! In fact, they'll make sure you know that they haven't so much as taken a cookie from the cookie jar without asking first. But these people are the ones you really can't trust. No doubt they are on the waiting list to become members of some secular religious group that thinks their leader is the next messiah, praising his or her name while drinking arsenic-laced fruit punch.
Anyways, I don't have a Wii so none of this matters to me. Keep on keepin' on.

" God Nintendo are such assholes! Not letting you put illegal copies of games on your system... what pieces of shit. "HOW DARE THEY try to make money! Shame on you Nintendo for not letting everyone have the easy way out and get everything for free, because they deserve everything being handed to them when they want.

Anyways yes, I am a nintendo fan. Whatever my fandom, it gives no warrant to you doing wasteful posts that should just get deleted.... I mean what kind of douche do you have to be to troll like that.
Obviously many people like the wii, if you don't, then just gtfo of these forums or learn to post like you are older than 13. (and I am aware that you are immediately going to respond that you are older than 13 - whether true or not, I am being sarcastic).
Yeah, I learned the hard way awhile back that updating firmware will break the homebrew channel. I wasn't too upset over it though, as i barely used the thing anyway. Using my Wii as a dvd player? Ugh... Emulation? I have a million and one PCs that will do it more efficiently. I could even hook the wiimote up to them via bluetooth.
I updated it.
Take that hackers.

You don't need to be a Nintendo fan to understand why people think that post is idiotic. Maybe try to express yourself better so that people know it's sarcasm.
If you really didn't care, you wouldn't have bothered posting a retort." How can I put this succinctly? Oh, right. I don't care. Now that you've let me know, I'll actually go ahead and update my Wii just to get that out of the way. "
" @Hailinel said:I care that there is a firmware update. It saved me the trouble of having to wait for the update to finish the next time I inserted a game that would have otherwise demanded it. I don't care about ignoring the update so I can break my warranty with hacks.If you really didn't care, you wouldn't have bothered posting a retort. "" How can I put this succinctly? Oh, right. I don't care. Now that you've let me know, I'll actually go ahead and update my Wii just to get that out of the way. "
" @demontium: Ok I'm being 100% serious, not joking here, you need to chill out a bit. I know you can react like that on the internet when no one cares but if someone in real life were to tell you a joke "like no one plays the wii" you don't say fuck you to them in a serious manner. Please don't come back at me with a snide remark, I'm not being sarcastic or joking I'm just saying you need to calm down when you go on forums and out in the real world. Again I'm not making fun of you just trying to give a little advice, please don't come up with a "clever" way your going to respond and give me "advice" because I'm not playing a game, I'm just trying to help. Next time I'll put posts in purple or bold them when I'm being sarcastic so you don't have to fly off the handle. The last thing I want for anyone on this forum is for them to be offended and make their blood pressure rise, it's simply bad for your health. I hope we can both walk away, or click away lol were on the internet so we click a lot (unless you have an iPad in which you touch your way through various websites), better people and have learned techniques on how to properly post and react. Thanks for reading I know this was long but it was worth it. Knowing that I helped someone, and myself, really raises my self confidence. Jesus Christ taught me to help my fellow man and I did just that :) "I'm only freaking out because giantbomb is flooded with trolls like you.
I installed the homebrew channel then realized i don't play my wii and have no use for it, if i update the wii will it properly remove all the crap i put on it (or brick it?)
I would rather buy the 1 Nintendo game i play per year than pirate it.
