Wii Updates? Sore wa himistsu desu…

WiiA lot of people have been giving their beloved Nintendo Wii a lot of loving lately. We’re sure one of the more likable features on Nintendo’s console has to be its online capabilities, of which the Mii and Virtual Console are part of.

But digressing from that, have you guys ever wondered what the patches from Nintendo do to your console every time there’s an update?

Blogger databyss had the same question in mind, and was mindful enough to do the common-sensical: E-mail Nintendo on the matter, and ask them ever-so-politely about what sort of stuff they’re doing to the Wii’s innards.

Unfortunately for the dude, it seems that Nintendo’s pretty hush-hush over the patches, and replied to his letter with this email as databyss quotes them:

Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,

Normally, we would be able to provide a specific answer for you. However, the overwhelming response to our new console has been such that doing so would mean waiting several days to hear back from us.

Having said that, I am confident that the answer to your question can be found on our Wii-dedicated website (http://wii.nintendo.com), which contains all of our official information and announcements regarding the system.

You will also find a wealth of information regarding Wii set-up, troubleshooting, and how-to’s on our new Wii Support Website (http://support.nintendo.com). If you have visited both of these websites, I encourage you to keep checking back as we are regularly updating them with new information.

If you are still unable to find an answer to your question, you’re welcome to reply to this message. We will try to get you a more specific response in a timely fashion although–as I alluded to above–it may take a while.

Sad to say, that didn’t really reveal anything, and we’re thinking you guys might have experienced similar news blackouts like these. Whatever the case, we’re sure the secrecy’s there for goo reason, especially with how easy it’s been to hack the Wiimote
