As of today, Wii owners can update their system to firmware 4.0 which adds SDHC support and, finally, the ability to download and play VC games directly to and from the SD card.
Adding something that pirates have been doing for a year now, and better. Speaking of pirates, as some of you might know, a solely softmodded Wii can play almost every Wii, GameCube and Wiiware backup these days, region free and from their respective channels. What's interesting is that with this update, Nintendo still hasn't done anything worthwhile to prevent that.
This amazes me. Homebrewers and pirates are finding new ways to use the console's firmware to their advantage, but Nintendo just runs with it. They really must be satisfied with the money they make.
