Hey, I upgraded to the latest firmware on wii (3.1U), and now Super mario galaxy and Metroid prime 3 don't work at all (they freeze before i even get to actual gameplay...SMG freezes before i even get past the wiimote safety message!). also the wii shop died as well (freezes at the blue ring thingy).

I'm doing everything legally (no mods, no burnt copies, discs are in mint condition) and was wondering if this happened to anyone else? I never dropped the wii, i'm not using any 3rd party devices...everything is as it should be and now I can't complete mario galaxy! I called nintendo today and they said to send it in for repairs, but with the holidays here (christmas parties, etc) I'd rather not send it away. Mario Strikers and Zelda: TP work fine (so far).

If anyone has clues on how to downgrade and/or fix this error, i'd greatly appreciate it. THANKS!

Maybe you could try formatting the Wii's memory? If that does not work then you would have to send it to Nintendo.

did your wii fully update when it went to 3.1?

reason i ask is that i updated a friends wii at his house and it sorta hung when it was updating then errorred out

when i rebooted wii - it said it was at 3.1e

however i took the wii home and updated it on my more stable internet connection and it went through a complete update and said 3.1e at the end

so i concluded that the wii thought it had been updated but hadnt and still needed the files

I tried updating again but It wouldn't because it says it has the most current update.

I'll try the memory formatting, but i need to find an sd card first. However, nintendo did say that doesn't reset the firmware, but i'll try anyways.

Maybe you'll have to wait until brawl comes out to update your wii to a 4.0

Tried the formatting..as suspected, nothing. Still 3.1U and still acting crazy. What's worse is that I lost my VC games and the wii shop doesn't work now so I less to work with :-(
