It probably doesn't affect people on 5.5 and below, but for future updates to the Wii U, you guys (meaning the Wii U scene) might want to be on the lookout: on the 3DS, Nintendo added a remote killswitch of sorts to the web browser on firmwares 9.9 and up. It phones home when you connect to a URL, asking if the browser is up to date, and refuses to let you use the browser from then on if it's not, until the entire system is updated.

I agree with you, it's pretty much a given.Well, my intention wasn't to create a panic here, just a warning that if it's happening on the 3DS, it could easily happen on the Wii U too.

release in May it's not realy newi was thinking the exact same thing, after a quick google....its a texture editing tool
Texture Hax Script by NWPlayer123
Usage: hax.py file.dds file.bfres minmip texpos
minmip is minimum mipmap size(IE, generate until dimensions <= NxN)
texpos is texture position in BFRES
Use: hax.py file.bfres
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "hax.py", line 100, in <module>
ftex = [m.start() for m in re.finditer('FTEX', bfres)]
File "c:\python\32-bit\3.4\lib\re.py", line 215, in finditer
TypeError: can't use a string pattern on a bytes-like object
