Wii Shop Channel

mazer4455 here bringing you the latest news.

There is an updated out for the wii again. Just in time for the holidays, the long awaited gift feature for the wii shop channel has been released for all of your gifting pleasures. It also adds a new icon instead of the old boring one.

 The new update also includes Photo Channel v1.1 which allows you to set your favorite picture as the display icon in the main menu for the wii.

Go and download it for yourself, and be sure to discuss it in our lovely forums. If you havent joined, be sure to head on over and take a look at what the readers of wiinintendo.net have to say.

    it was nice to see that attractive blue light turn on again… it’s been a while.

  • ixniner

    Ya know! My blue light flashes a bit more often these days, thanks to small updates and Super Mario Galaxy!

  • DC3fanboy_NL

    Thanks for the info I will be updated right now

  • mazer4455

    hey guys,
    just so you know this update kills mp3 support in the photo channel though..
    so watch out for it.
    if you still want mp3 then do not get this update

  • http://cardfighterproject.com Ayce

    Yeah too late… I was just going to post the same thing. Why would they go with anything other than MP3 it doesn’t make sense.

  • Subrosian

    to put ACC which is superior but I can’t find any ACC converter…

  • Subrosian

    It’s AAC soz =p

  • potatoman

    HOW CAN I MAKE A PHOTO APPEAR ON THE MAIN MENU THING!!!!
    (not message board ON the icon)

  • http://www.xanga.com/relaxing_roth Roth

    iTunes can convert to AAC. Winamp can rip CDs to AAC.
    In case any of you want to go back to the old version just delete the new version 1.1 from the Wii data within the options, and it’ll revert back to the previous version.

    They went to AAC because its the standard format for ITunes and Ipods. Makes sense.

  • scullum2001

    i WONDER if they might eventually support connecting your iPod now, since it’s AAC. just an idea…nothing more than that. it may never happen.

    So, anyone know if this kills mp3 support for excite truck?

  • http://WiiNintendo.net FlamingSquirrel

    It doesn’t kill MP3 support for games like Excite Truck and Endless Ocean, just the Photo Channel

  • http://wiinintendo.net/index.php?sFloating20%World Floating World

    Yeah, those games are coded and done with. It also should be noted that AAC files will not all of a sudden work in excite truck or endless ocean with this update.

  • ixniner

    To potatoman:

    Find the image you want, and view it. Select the option to Post, and you should now have a Wii Menu option. This will now show as your Wii Menu icon for the Photo Channel.
