The biggest problem with having your Wii bricked is not that you are inconvenienced with having to send it back to Nintendo, it's the fact that you will more than likely lose your save files!
I happened not to do the update because I actually sent my Wii off to Nintendo that very morning. I was having disc reading issues as well as "corrupt save file" issues. I'm afraid that they are going to have to wipe my system's memory clean. Why in the Hell won't Nintendo let us save our all of our save files to an SD card?

Yes, some of us do! I currently have 157 VC games and 26 WiiWare games. I go through Wii Points like crazy. I probably buy a card every week or two. I do get disappointed some weeks when there isn't anything that I want to download. I wish they at least give us one solid game per week.
I love this game. This was the original Street Fighter! I used to play this with my younger brother, back in the 80's. It actually has more depth than you might realize. Here are a list of moves:
high strong punch
low strong punch
high weak punch
low weak punch
high block
low block
dodge
That's seven moves! That's more moves than most games from that era had. Then you've got other factors that affect gameplay like flower pots being dropped on your head, cops patrolling the streets, a stamina meter and a timer. A lot of people rip on this game without ever having played it. Many of those who have played it, never played it with another person. It makes a big difference. The single player mode is nothing to sneeze at either. The reviewer here says that "The computer-controlled opponents you face are idiots and are very good at walking directly into your fists if you time your punches just right." Thats a load of crap if you play this game for any significant amount of time (more than 10 minutes perhaps?). The difficulty ramps up later on, providing a serious challenge to anyone.
I'm just glad that someone at Nintendo must still appreciate this game. I feel lucky to have this on my Wii.

Re: USA WiiWare Update: Bonsai Barber
You guys have convinced me download Bonsai Barber. I think I'll go do so right now.
Re: SD Card Game Launching + Arcade Games Available on VC Now!
Just noticed that all of my VC titles are arranged by system. This makes it a lot easier to find the games on my SD card (I've got 169 VC games).
Re: USA VC Update: Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen
I've got a complete copy of Ogre Battle that I'll have to sell now and make a killing, just like I did with my complete copy of Harvest Moon.
I love the VC!
Re: Wisconsin To Tax Digital Downloads
I live in Tennessee, and for some reason, every retailer charges tax on Wii Points cards, except for Game Stop.

Well Darren, here is an example of evasion, complete with tittering little schoolgirls! http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc313/citizen_zane/dodgeball.jpg

Re: Nintendo’s Storage Solution: Better Than HDD, Expected Soon
I'm afraid that my 2GB card is gonna be full soon (13 wiiware, 147 vc games so far). At this point, I'll buy whatever Nintendo throws my way.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Magnetica Twist
You guys forgot to mention that new DLC was added for FFCC: My Life as King.
