New Wii update 4.3 is targeting Homebrew Channels.

Nintendo is once again targeting piracy on the Wii. The platform holder announced today that they will soon be releasing version 4.3 of the Wii Menu, which is primarily designed to remove any homebrew channels from the system.

"Because unauthorized channels or firmware may impair game play or the Wii console, updating to Wii Menu version 4.3 will check for and automatically remove such unauthorized files," Nintendo wrote in a message that was posted on their support site.

The patch isn't entirely superfluous if you don't use homebrew. Nintendo wrote that there will also be some "behind the scenes enhancements" that will improve system performance.

Expect the latest update soon.

It also does things like get rid of homebrew channels and things like the English patch for Fatal Frame IV.

It's none of Nintendo's business what people are doing with their consoles, in terms of *legal* modding - not piracy.

If Nintendo isn't going to release Fatal Frame IV over here, I have every right to mod my console and play the english patch.

Every update they've had in the last year or two has targeted Homebrew Channels..lol.
