Watch as Ubisoft puts women in their place and pushes back the industry's efforts to attract female gamers by 10 years or so!
Ubisoft wrote:Ubisoft is excited to finally offer young girls a line of games that give them the chance to explore their hobbies and interests in interactive and creative experiences,” said Helene Juguet, senior director of marketing at Ubisoft. “Our consumer research revealed that the young girls’ market has been relatively overlooked. We are happy to introduce a variety of titles relevant to what girls in this age group have indicated they are most interested in.

Gah, US VC only for now. Denied.
Can you confirm whether the sys update makes the fan stay on in Wiiconnect mode? I hear it does.

/edit can't get updated here, seems to be in demand. I'll try later.
I also hear rumours that it borks Freeloader. Bummer.
Ah Christ! Can anyone actually confirm that at all? I just bought a brand new US copy of 'PM: Thousand Year Door' last week, and I won't even bother taking it out of the shrink wrap if that's really the case. :(
i dont have a freeloader but the update has broken my datel 'sd media launcher' which i use to play emulators...only got it last week too. *sigh* no more super fantasy zone for me then. :(

anybody know if there's a way to roll back the system update?

I updated yesterday and then I connected to the VC without problem. I'd suggest that you turn off your Wii (red light) and then back on. You never know. :)
Armed with a Cintiq+4+bless I'm off to fight bad taste!

I tried and still can't connect. The error code is 051420, if that means anything to anyone. I'm getting a little nervous now. :(

After the update I couldn't connect to the news channel. So I went into the settings and did a connection test. It connected and I haven't had any issues since. If that helps at all.

Apparently the update lets you use a USB keyboard. :)

But not for Opera yet, as that is separate from the main Wii interface and will require a browser update.
