don't u mean this gundam? i know how u feel, Nintendo US is seriously lagging behind.... let's not forget Disaster is dy out in japan too.

do most Wii games force a system update before play? i won't really know as i presently only have about 4 Wii games and only Okami required an update to 3.2u before play.

this is actually good, it keeps the pirates at bay hopefully....

is there a thread in Ninty here which detail what each system update does to the Wii?

because ever since i updated to 3.3u, i have been noticing some subtle changes to how my Wii behaves.... the disc tray used to light up in neon blue right after i boot a NGC/Wii game. now it doesn't anymore, i don't know if my memory is failing me but i could swore it used to in the past.

it's funny how understanding all this piracy lingo is a good indication of whether u are into it or not....
gundam u totally fail bro!

does most Wii games come with a patch to install the required firmware? i wish Sony would implement it too so i don't have to download it online all the time.... it's so much more convenient when it comes with the game. what do u guys think?

hmm not ps3 games as far as i know.... which is not terribly essential since the games don't required firmware update to play but nice to have since u dont need to log into PSN to update.
