A new Wii update, Menu version 4.3, is now available for download. Wondering what it does? Well, not much…

“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. In addition, there are some behind the scenes enhancements that do not affect any prominently-used features or menus but will improve system performance.”

Yeah…Definitely on the lame-side. Unless Nintendo releases an update such as 5.0 or 6.0, it’s usually a minimal update.

There have been concerns about the difficultly in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for a few of years – Even starting from 2008 when Shigeru Miyamoto said he wanted to make Zelda accessible for casual gamers. Those who have been wondering about the game’s difficult have nothing to fear, however. According to Eiji Aonuma, there are no plans to make Zelda easier.

“I do not want to make Zelda easier. Easy to me does not equal fun. I want puzzles where people have to think about it, and when they solve the puzzle, there’s that feeling of accomplishment. That’s something that’s really valuable, that concrete feeling that when you accomplish something [in the game], it feels like you’ve done something worth doing. If the game is too easy, the accomplishments aren’t valuable. When Mr. Miyamoto says easy, he doesn’t mean simple. He means easily — this is the difficulty of the language here. It’s accessible, and you know how to do things, if not necessarily what to do. You may have a series of puzzles to figure out, and it may be difficult to decipher the meaning, but it’s not difficult to accomplish what you need to do.”
