And this just goes to show why I wait for a while to install wii updates, there is no way in hell i'm going to pay for brawl a second time.
Don't get me wrong, I updated after reading it would block my freeloader on GoNintendo. I updated because I figured eventually there'll be a game in the future that will require the update, so I might aswell. Plus I made sure that I can at least get £40 for my US copy.
I don't see the point in updating, all my existing games run fine! I'll update when a game disc forces me too (and the region free bootloader is installed and running from the homebrew channel properly, it may already be working so I shall run off to check).
There is also an advantage to NOT updating, not previously mentioned.
Ants can have neon blue theme discos.
That sucks, i just emailed the gametraders i bought it from to see if i can return it.
Rather inevitable that it would happen eventually.
What a bitch!
If you have a Wii that is.
and live in Europe...
and use Freeloader...
friggin update! i knew i should have come to the internet before obeying my wii's blue light
gotta ebay my brawl asap
I'm glad that I didn't buy the Freeloader... Oh well, it was fun playing with the japanese Brawl copy of a friend. Now I just have to wait about one week to play this game again.
because youre all nerds geeks and otaku
That sucks. It seems like they just break the homebrew features every update rather than do anything cool. Well, except the nintendo channel... and wiiware... and everything else.
The Homebrew channel will still work as long as you installed it before you update.
I think we all knew this was going to happen eventually.
It's kind of funny that they decide to block the freeloader when Brawls release is next week just to remind people why they bought the freeloader in the first place. It's also a dick move that Nintendo are effectively saying "you've had your fun now go buy the game again like you should have done in the first place instead of sidestepping our release schedule"... fuckers
There's a new game coming for the Wii?
I thought it all ended with Brawl.
SO MUCH HATE
You know what? This is absolute bs, its time to rally the troops again and give Nintendo some more crap.
Was it not Nintendo that themselves said those who imported where a minority on GC, and that they didn't mind us importing games. While everone has updated to the Wii, this sitiuation shouldn't have changed just because Nintendo are in the lead.
This kind of underhand cock blocking, without even so much a word of warning to gamers, shows how much their respect has gone us and how they continue to fail on customer service, because they are in the lead, they get all fucking draconian on us.
This rings echoes of those draconian SNES days all over again, and no wonder many developers don't like to work with them. I'd like Dtoid to question Nintendo about this because its very underhand and out of order. Their agents of spinning bs will probably say more insulting stuff to us no doubt.
This is the kind of BS that happens when you have different branches of a megacorporation competing for cock love from the mothership. Basically if Nintendo Europe doesn't sell up to par, people get fired, therefore if a game is actually coming out in Europe, they don't want their US brethren to get the sale. It's a sad state of affairs.
As sad state of affairs indeed, but Nintendo have nothing to worry about, like I said, those who import games are a very small community of gamers in the grand scheme of things, especially Wii ones. Sorry, Superhobo, but I'm not buying that excuse, as if this was the case, why haven't Nintendo just said so officially? At least we'd know where we all stand
What Nintendo will probably do is, paint it as a move against piracy, as its easier to paint homebrewers and pirates as the same beast, than deal with them separately.
My advice to you all, don't update or buy another Wii.
