Wii Firmware 3.3 (Death to the Homebrew Channel?)

The latest Firmware Update by Nintendo has very few changes for Wii owners, but there are 1 or 2 serious effects.
You will have the ability to move your Mii creations from your regular 100-max storage to the Mii parade. You will lose some key features if you do this, such as the name of its Creator and birthday details.
Behind the scenes, the update kills the Wii Freeloader, the Datel disc used to play imported Wii games.
Freeloader users beware!
The infamous Twilight Hack, a save game glitch available only in Zelda: Twilight Princess that allows the Wii Homebrew Channel to be installed, has also been blocked. Anyone who has already installed the Homebrew Channel will be unaffected but the primary method of installing the channel is now gone.
It won’t be long before this is reversed!
