Since i'v gotten my 360, my Wii has barely even be touched. Hell, even before that I barely played my Wii, and I havn't even gotten a new WIi game since Christmas. Part of the reason IMO is that the Wii is just lacking alot of good stuff that could be remedied with a nice firmware upgrade. So heres 5 things the Wii could really use.
1: Channel Folders
I don't know about you, but I find it pretty damn annoying to have all those Virtual Console downloads take up a crap load of space on the Wii menu. There is a very simple solution to avoiding the clutter of VC downloads. Folders. Just have a button off to the side that, when clicked, creates a "Channel Folder". Basically a place to store channels so that they don't take up alot of room on the main menu. This way you could have all your Genesis games in one spot and all your N64 games in another, and you wouldn't have to worry about buying too much Virtual Console games.
2: Format Memory Lock
How much would it suck if a younger sibling started playing your Wii while you were away and accidentally format your Wii's memory. All those long hours of making Miis and playing games, all gone. To prevent this all you need is a simple lock, so that when you try and format the memory you have to put in some sort of password. Problem solved.
3: Voice Chat/Send Voice Messages
OK, this one would require you to actually pay money (for a mic/headset), but still it would be a nice improvement for communication with your friends. Right now you can only send text messages, and this can be a pretty slow process. An awesome alternative to this would be just to get a mic/headset going and allow for you to record and attach a message. Even better would be the ability to start up a voice chat rather than having to wait a few minutes for the messages to be sent and received. The voice messaging system is definitely one of the better features of Xbox Live/ the 360, and I think the Wii could really benefit from something similar.
4: Themes
Not everyone wants the white/silver/gray/whatever theme that the Wii has got going on right now. Maybe I want a really dark theme, or a rainbow one? The ability to customize what the interface looks like would just be plain awesome. Maybe even allow for (free) downloadable "theme packs", so you could have a Zelda theme or something. And while your at it, how about tone down on the usage of the word "Wii". Seriously, everywhere you look on the Wii menu it wants to remind you that yes, you are in fact using a Wii.
5: Music Player
We already have something to view pictures and videos in, now how about something for music? Preferably something that will run in the background, so that you could play music while playing a game or while your on a different channel.
