Nintendo has officially released a new system update for the Wii, version 3.4. With this update, Nintendo is once again looking to disable homebrew projects and has added in a few new “features.”

Nintendo’s description of the update is as follows:

# An enhancement was made to the Wii console’s Parental Controls.

# A compatible USB keyboard can be used with the Mii Channel.

# The Wii User Agreement, which includes the Wii Privacy Policy, has been updated. Because the updated agreement applies to you and your use of the Wii Network Service, you should view the updated version by clicking on the Wii icon located on the lower-left portion of the Wii Channel menu, selecting Wii Settings, accessing the Internet setting, and selecting User Agreements.

Nintendo obviously mentions nothing about homebrew applications directly, but there have been reports that the company is doing its best to eliminate such additions to the Wii system.

So, we’re finally going to hear about Kid Icarus…Right?!

“The Wii version is non-existent. It’s just not a platform that we developed this game for…We knew we could do justice to a DS version,” he explained, “[one] that wouldn’t feel like some sort of watered down lame excuse of a port; it would really feel like its own standalone Prince of Persia property. And that was really important to us. We didn’t want to do a port on the DS — we wanted to do a standalone, unique experience that continued the overall story that this new Prince of Persia game is trying to setup…I hope that we will see another Prince of Persia game on the Wii. Because when I [produced Wii Prince of Persia title] Rival Swords, I really liked the way the Prince’s movement translated to the Wii controls. I think that it’s really kind of a natural fit.” – Prince of Persia producer Ben Mattes

The Prince of Persia game for the DS actually looks pretty impressive, but it’s a shame that there are no plans to bring the latest title to the Wii. As Mr. Mattes stated though, something could happen in the future.
