My kids are HSM fans. Anyone try this game yet. I pre-ordered it from Gamestop. I will pick it up later today.
Does anyone know if it has a update on it that I have to worry about. Should I back it up first and use WBB, Or since I will own the original, just play that one.
It depends on the region of your Wii console. As Europe and Japan doesn't have Gamestop stores, I'm assuming that you are in the US or Canada and have a NTSC-U/C console. It thats true, then you needn't worry about bricking your console as NTSC-U/C games only contain firmware for NTSC-U/C consoles, if any at all.
So if your HSM original does have a firmware update then its fine if it is the same region as your console.
Yeah, Super Mario Galaxy has some new detection that prevents modded Wii's from playing a backup of it, which is getting bypassed now with chip firmware upgrades etc It wasn't bricking US consoles, only semi-bricking PAL consoles as it also has a US Wii firmware auto-update on it, which isn't good for European Wiis.
