Wii owners who wish to continue with homebrew may be interested in holding back on the latest system update. Upgrading to 4.2 will effectively kill the channel through deletion. According to Nintendo, menu 4.2 “provides behind-the-scene fixes that will not affect features but will improve the overall system performance,” but also warns that the update “will also check for and automatically remove such save data (unauthorized modifications to save data or program files) or program files.”

It should  be noted that this is the first time Nintendo has intentionally taken on the heart of homebrew. Although previous action was taken to disable homebrew installation, an update has never actually removed the channel.

So far, Animal Crossing: City Folk owners have been treated to bit of free DLC, ranging from a Pikmin hat to a DS couch, but the most recent might take the cake for most… nonchalant? A pile of leaves was announced to be the DLC for fall in City Folk. While it may fit the season, the actual content is simply a pile of leaves that sits in your house, not really doing much (or looking good.)

Make sure you have WiiConnect24 powered on from September 25th to October 9th if you want the “gift”.

“Unfortunately, like many other publishers, we didn’t have a booth at the TGS this year. As you know the market is tough at the moment and Marvelous decided to save the money for other investments.” – Tami Otto, Marvelous

This is really too bad to hear. I’m sure many people that attended TGS would have loved to see Marvelous at the event, though, investing their money elsewhere (perhaps making more quality titles?) certainly isn’t a poor choice.
