For those of you who don’t currently have your Wii consoles within your field of vision (shame on you!), it’s probably blinking with the call of a Japanese bush warbler. Why? No, it’s not a Check Mii Out Contest, you actually have a new system update waiting for you.

You can check out the full message after the break, but what Update 3.2 essentially does is allow you to update your Wii console before playing a game that requires newer firmware than you currently have. Might this have to do with Nintendo of America trying to avoid the same bug that Japan suffered with the launch of Brawl? (or one of the bugs, anyway…)

We would like to inform you that you can now update your Wii Menu to version 3.2. To do this, please press the Update button at the bottom of your screen.

Once installed, if a Game Disc is inserted into the Wii console and an update is required, a notification message will be displayed across the Disc Channel alerting you to update your system.

If no update is needed, the title of the Game Disc inserted will be displayed.

After February 26th, those who have already done the update will not need to update again.

Thank you for updating your Wii console!

Nintendo
