Since NOV of 2008, I semi-bricked my Wii from putting Animal Crossing Wii (US) into my system. I've waited for the right firmware update to come and override this. Now, it's July of 2009 and Nintendo released Wii Sports Resort. I was sure this had a 4.0 update on it, and decided to see if this worked. The results were perfect. My Wii is finally fixed. To those who are in a state of Semi-Bricked, Wii Sports Resort should be your answer the getting out of that hole. Pick it up for your region when it comes out.
