Nintendo Blocks the Freeloader

Nintencast writes :

"Yeah, happy Easter guys, but it seems as though Nintendo don't want that to be the case for many people. Yesterday we reported that Nintendo released a second update for the Nintendo Wii (America only) and it seems that this update voids the Freeloader - just after a week of it being released!"

decapitator6637d ago

lol.sorry about that man. I had to change the story. You might wanna check the pending section, someone else is tring to submit it.

decapitator6637d ago

That didn't take very long at all. Knowing hackers, they are probably looking for new ways to make it work.

Tsalagi6637d ago

They'll just sneak the update code onto a game.

DRUDOG6637d ago

So don't go sticking a game in the system without knowing if there is an update on it. I'm sure those hacker sites will have that info available soon after the game is released.

jackie chann6637d ago

Mine still works because i won't download the update or any future update. In fact no other game is going in my wii unless its a new mario or zelda.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

EasySMX D05 review

You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.
