I had strange dreams last night. What's wrong with me? When I opened my eyes, it all made sense. My Wii was pulsing again. The slot illuminator's blue glow was filling my room with an ominous glow, as if to say, "Play with Miiiiiiiii... Play with Miiiiiiii!"
I mean sure, Wii Fit can be very
persistent. It doesn't like me missing a day of training, but its never woken me up before. Wii Fit: Hey Mike, wake up! It's time to weigh yourself.
Me: Leave me alone! I'm sleeping! 
No, it wasn't Wii Fit. When I woke up, I turned on my Wii to see what all the fuss was about. Apparently, a Wii Menu update was waiting for me. Version 3.3 was now available. Here's part of a message from Nintendo...
Quote:
With this update, you can now move a Mii from the Mii Plaza to the Mii Parade in the Mii Channel. To do this, simply pick up a Mii using the A and B Buttons and then release it over the Mii Parade icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Because unauthorized modifications to save files may impair game play or the Wii console, updating to Wii Menu version 3.3 will also check for and automatically remove such save files.

Wow, that's nice of them to explain the situation. Yet, I imagine that this message is not too friendly for Wii console owners that have modified saved game files. It's almost as if Nintendo said, "Pardon me... BLAM!" It's like having Samus Aran, with her arm canon warmed up, knocking on your door. "Excuse me citizen, I've received word that some of your books are corrupted. Let me in so I can shoot them."
On the one hand, some enforcer may want to destroy my stuff. On the other hand, it's an enforcer from Nintendo. "Come on in, would you like some cookies?!" My Wii was upgraded without concern. Besides... Mii Parade... that's important, right?
