    how come nintendo didnt send a message about this upgrade

  12. Gravatar Rikuto Says:

    They did retard. How do you think anyone knows about it? Check your internet settings on your wii.

  13. Gravatar Block Says:

    does it include the latest flash 8 version ?

  14. Gravatar Roth Says:

    Flash 9 is the latest, but they’re only allowed to use up to Flash 7, since version 8 and later are owned by another major company that is Adobe.

    Also, the Everybody Votes Channel is compatible with 3.1, so those haven’t downloaded the channel yet, feel free to do so.

    In the meantime, I might wanna get me a mini USB keyboard.
    With that, does this mean we can copy+paste text+URLs?
    Wonderful update! \:D/
