WiiConnect 24 Update Breaking Systems?

We have received word from numerous sources that running the initial WiiConnect 24 update on the Wii has had a tendency to cause a recurring error code. Several error codes have been reported so far, but the most prevalent of them are 110213 and 32002. We contacted Nintendo about this issue, and they filled us in on what you should do if you find yourself in this predicament.

Currently, Nintendo has two options in place to resolve the problem. If you do not have any data saved to your system that is important to keep, then you can contact Nintendo customer service and they will ship a new console to you in 3-4 business days. However, if you do have important data saved to your system, then things get a little trickier. Data like game saves and Miis are not disastrous to lose, but Virtual Console data is. While Virtual Console games are re-downloadable should you delete them, the data saved on your console regarding which games you have downloaded is tied to your system. In this situation, option #2 is the way to go.

Option #2 requires that Nintendo send you a shipping label which should take 4-10 business days. Once you receive the shipping label, you can use it to send the console to Nintendo for repairs, after which they will send it back to you. Sadly, this process takes 8-12 business days, meaning that if you choose option #2, you will be Wii-less for a good long while.

Nintendo could not comment on how widespread this problem is, but did say that they are currently looking into fixes that can be done without Nintendo replacing or repairing the console itself.

hopefully they will sort these problems out, so when Wii comes to Europe we wont have any problems

It seems like all the new next-gen consoles are rushing into the market.

i was thinking the same thing... there seem to be a few problems these days with new consoles at the begining of their life they all seem to be having problems... one half of me is saying wait a few months until these problems are sorted out hte other half says cant wait mouch longer for Zelda & Wii..... so im split minded... but if Nintey show that they sorted all these problems out by middle of December im gonna run to the shop and get one unles they are out of Stock...

It's because new consoles have much more complex onboard software. But it's pretty weak that the Wii is getting this sort of thing but the PS3 isn't, it has a much more complex OS.
