Did your Wii Fit come with ver 3.1J or not. It should be written on the back of the DVD case. If you can paste the photo of the screen you see, I can read it for you since I read Japanese. My Wii fit should be coming in a day or two so I can tell you more.

someone said to avoid a brick, update your wii to the latest firmware. How do you update the wii to the latest firmware?

It says "Remove the controller that is connected to the Wii Remote control" Does the Wii Fit Board connected to the remote or not. I don't know what it exactly it means, but I hope the translation makes sense. if not when I get my Wii Fit tomorrow, I can PM you and tell what's going on.

Just disable region override (should be the default though!) in your Wii-key setup. That way it will never play NTSC/U or NTSC/J games so you're safe.

Guys need to clear some doubts. Im the guy whoose JAP wii was semi blocked by guitar hero 3. I tried SMG jap but no deal. I wish to know if SMG firmware is 3.0 or 3.1????

One other thing if SMG is 3.0 how much time i will pribably have to wait for a game with 3.1???

And again more doubts... If i do the 3.1 update isnt there a chance that the update reconize my wii as moded and brick it totally???

As long as Mario Galaxy is Pal, the update will work with no problems using the original game or a copy.

I have the same console & chip as you, and the update went perfect.

Good news for Wii-j user who got bricked with SMG ntsc-u. Because SMG ntsc-j contains only ver 3.0, it was unable to unbrick SMG ntsu-u. However, I got Wii Fit ntsc-j, which contains ver 3.1J. It unbricked my unit.

Hey guys I have an NTSC wii and downloaded Mario Galaxy " Super_Mario_Galaxy_ReadNFO_Wii-PROMiNENT" did not specify whether it was
NTSC or PAL. It is safe to commence the update?

Latest is V3.1J. It will still ask if you want to update. It will check and pop a msg that no new update is available. In short it is safe.

My Japanese Wii that my dad bought in China was semi bricked by Metroid Prime 3: corruption at the time and I need to adjust the settings, does anyone know if there is any Japanese game with a higher update then this so that I can unbrick it. To unbrick a semi bricked wii is just installing a newer update from the same region of the wii no? Does anyone know if this game would unbrick my semi brick Wii?

Sometimes the Updates on the Internet are different from the ones you get from the games.

Internet updates are fine (and safer since it will ensure the correct region firmware), but some discs will still ask you to go through updates adding specific additional capabilities.

I have 2 questions...

1. I recently got a PAL Wii and updated it with an "official" Super Mario Galaxy game. Would it be ok if i got a Wiikey installed in my PAL Wii with this firmware update installed??

2. Do i have to install Wiikey firmware version 1.9g if i have an official Super Mario Galaxy game???

Thanks in advance!

Well I really want to buy a Jap game that I like and doesn't require much translation to play with! I was thinking of the Wii Fit but since it would be in Japanese that would mean I can't read it and thats $150 USD sorta wasted!

I don't know the firmware for metroid 3. I think it is less than ver 3.0. If so, you can use japanese SMG because it has 3.0J. Somebody help what firmware is Metroid 3

Can someone please confirm this for me so I don't brick by mistake:

If I have latest 3.1J firmware in my Wii-J, and I play Metroid 3 ntsc/u and it asks to update, I can safely say 'yes' and it will skip actual update because I have latest firmware?

Or, will it update anyway and I will end up with bricked wii?

Some games will not play if first patched with Brick Blocker (such as Wii Degree and Metroid Prime 3)

Thanks for the help everyone!
