Your Mii affected by Nintendo Wii update 3.3

By: Peter Chubb | June 17, 2008 | 2 Comments


Nintendo have now released their latest firmware update for the Wii, update 3.3 only features a few changes, but the effects I have to say are profound. One change that you will notice from the update is with your Mii, you now have the ability to move your very own Mii creations from the usual 100-maximum storage over to the Mii parade.

What this does is delete a number of features from your Mii, from birthday details as well as the name of the creator. The biggest changes as always are happening behind the scenes, Nintendo Wii update 3.3 is the update that kills the Wii Freeloader, this is the disc that helps you play imported Wii games.

Looks like you guys using Freeloader have now finally played your cheap imports for the last time. There is yet more bad news for people who liked to cheat the system, the Twilight Hack that gamers used on Zelda; Twilight Princess has also blocked the ability to use Homebrew to operate the console.

If you still have Hombrew on your Nintendo Wii you are still able to use it, but the method in how you obtained the channel has now been disabled. So looks like people who have a Wii will now have to pay the full price for game titles, people will also have to wait a little longer before the games that they used to import become available in their country.

    As a Freeloader user who prefers the blood to pixels on ‘No More Heroes’ I’m glad I read this before I ran the update. Does anyone know if there will be an updated version of Freeloader or a fix for this?

    Assuming that they’re ever released in your region, that is.
