AGAIN this question I know but for me it is very scary!
I have downloaded quite a few games and played them perfectly (I modded my wii months ago with a D2Pro). I had no problems since now, I have downloaded the game Mario Super Sluggers amd it wants to perform a system update, I have not even open the window because I am scared to get my wii bricked. Please If someone knows how to avoid the bricking or maybe provide good advices on this..

Hi this is what you should do

Use Regionfrii to change the region from Jap to NTSC or Pal.
Then run Wii Brick Blocker to stop your Wii from bricking.

These programs can be found on Google.

The Wii Brick Blocker helped me to avoid the Wii system update since I burnt the ISO for a second time to run the Brick Blocker before burning it (as the instructions say) but at least with Mario Kart (another game which wanted an update) it didnt work since although it removed the screen saying Wii system update after puting play the game wouldnt work, the screen turns black. I am about to do a 2nd try with Mario Super Sluggers to work out if the Wii Brick Blocker makes the games to not work or if the Mario Kart I downloaded was wrong.

Games do generally require the firmware level they are bundled with to run. To play mario kart you need to update your wii to firmware 3.2 or 3.3. This can be done safely with an online update.

You haven't said what region your wii or games are, but so long as they are from the same region theres no risk of bricking from letting the updates run.
