Here’s an update for you folks related to Bushing‘s potential exploit for the Wii. According to Bushing, a Nintendo representative has contacted Bushing regarding the exploit and they’re going to go into talks to resolve the issue.

(Insert a polite reply here from a real person at Nintendo, indicating that they received my message and will reply further shortly.)

(No, I wonÂ’t be posting any other correspondence with them.)

For those of you who missed the original announcement, linked below, Bushing found an exploit that could potentially allow users to find a way to run pirated games or game backups on unmodified Wii units.

Now, whether or not this exploit gets patched is dependent on the efforts of Bushing and the engineers at Nintendo. We’ll find out soon enough if they’re able to patch the exploit. Till then, sit tight.
