WiiConnect24 Update Causing Issues For Wii Owners

An anonymous reader writes to mention coverage on IGN of an ongoing issue with a WiiConnect update. A faulty update may be causing some Wii consoles to become inoperative. Nintendo is replacing affected consoles, free of charge. From the article: "Several error codes have been reported so far, but the most prevalent of them are 110213 and 32002. We contacted Nintendo about this issue, and they filled us in on what you should do if you find yourself in this predicament. Currently, Nintendo has two options in place to resolve the problem. If you do not have any data saved to your system that is important to keep, then you can contact Nintendo customer service and they will ship a new console to you in 3-4 business days. However, if you do have important data saved to your system, then things get a little trickier"

    However, the update on the night I used the Wii store was slow, but not that much. It took maybe 5mins to download the update. Perhaps that was before most people where doing their updates, but I didn't find it too bad.

    Okay, give me a teensy weensy bit of credit here. I didn't give up after five minutes. I supsect most people didn't either, as the progress bar would be filling up rapidly. When I say slow, I mean: "Leave, come back 30 minutes later, it's 10% complete. Come back 30 minutes later, it's ... still 10% complete. 30 minutes later ... yay, it's advanced a few pixels! Wait ... *gets out ruler* ... Damn!"

    They're using the carrier pidgeon protocol so you have to wait for the ACK/COO to complete.

    About 10 years ago my SNES broke a week before Christian.
    Hmm. I didn't realize there was an anti-technology aura that eminates from all Christians.

    Oh no! Quick! Everyone! For the sake of your Mii! Get them off of that Wii and put them on the Wiimote! It's every Mii for themselves! You don't want your Mii trapped inside that Wii if an update causes it to lose functionality! You wouldn't want that any more than you would want your babies trapped in a burning building, possibly even less!

    Save the Mii! Buy more Wiimotes if you have to!

    DON'T LET YOUR MII BECOME A STATISTIC!

    Act now!

    The word you want here is "exacerbating", not "exasperating." Their similar, but exasperate usually refers to a person and exacerbate doesn't


    The word you want here is they're," not "their." They're similar, but "their" is possessive while "they're" is a contraction of "they are."
