Wii Firmware Updates Bricking Some Consoles

Wii Some new Nintendo Wii owners have had problems with their consoles after downloading Nintendo’s firmware updates through the Wii Connect24 service. After applying one of the updates, the next time the console tries to connect the user will get an 110213 error. Users with this error will need to have Nintendo replace the console, through one of two options. First, gamers can have Nintendo ship a replacement immediately with a hold on their credit card. If the broken console is received within 21 days, there will be no charge. Second, gamers can opt to send their console in, and Nintendo will ship a replacement when the old console is received. This method does not require a credit card, but gamers may be without a Wii for several days while the consoles are shipped. Hopefully this glitch is not widespread, but it is unclear exactly what percentage of consoles have been affected.
