The blue slot light on my Wii was flashing this morning … I turned it on, checked the message board with excitement … and … all that was waiting was another Wii system update. This is the second system update pushed out by Nintendo in about a week, hot on the heels of the recent Wii system update to version 3.0.

According to Nintendo, no real new features here, but they claim to have fixed problems with LAN adapters that they broke in the upgrade to version 3.0, and have fixed ‘hangs’ in the Internet Channel.

I always find the Internet Channel cannot play Flash videos longer than about 10 mins .. I wonder if this update fixes it ? Or does it fix the Flash player ‘crash’ bug uncovered by Symantec, that some have speculated could be exploited for running homebrew Wii software ?

I hope this will not become a recurring pattern of “ship update, break (or worse brick) some Wii’s, ship update for the broken update”.
