Wii Firmware 3.1 update

Wii Firmware 3.1 update

There's a new firmware update for download, just waiting to burst onto your Wii machine. The additions are mostly concerned with the Internet:

  • USB keyboards compatible with Internet Channel.
  • Message Board can be opened in the Internet Channel.
  • Send links to friends.
  • Copy text into the Search function.
  • An update to the Everybody Votes Channel.

Interesting.

It's better than nothing.

Finally we can use a keyboard.

The USB keyboards is a pretty good change. Now they just need to get java for the browser.

Nintendoof
Got it.

You said it, it is better than nothing, and it's what I was looking for. Searching, links, and copying, is all that I needed for better browsing. So any chance we'll see anything compatible with some kind of Gamecube features? Like, screen shot tool for any GC Game? Or like, downloads for new maps and areas or something. Like example: Metroid Prime- New Maps, and creatures/bosses. Zelda- New secrets, and lands to run (in this case oceans- referring to windwaker).

Epsilon
Yay, keyboard support at last.

At least Nintendo is letting us use any USB keyboard instead of Big N labeled ones.

That's pretty good. But not really too much of a big update.

Scooby Jew
Yeah, nothing too special. It's cool, but not Brawl cool.

Zelda Dude
Eric, can I call you air-wick?

Parvin
I've already got my updates. But what's this about opening the Wii message board on the internet?

Smash Champion
I wonder if it works with flash games?
