the original firmware doesn't allow for wii playback
Cool, thanks for confirming.Yes. I did. All it said when clicking the channel was a simple error message. Something in the likes of "this channel is not available right now".
I sort of suspect they won't ever ship consoles with Wii mode installed. They are going to block Wii mode if there is a Wii U mode update available, so I suspect they are trying to ensure that they can always prevent Wii mode exploits. It seems obvious then, that if they ship any consoles with Wii mode installed, you could always go out and buy a "new" old console. If they never ship a Wii U with Wii mode, then once an update is released (and you are connected to the internet), you are just shit out of luck (unless you can find a pre-owned console that hasn't been connected to the internet sine the update, which would be exceedingly hard to find).until ninty rolls out machines with later firmwares, obviously.
That's the second time I've seen this mentioned, how exactly are they going to block Wii mode if there's an update available for the Wii U? And what's the source for this? What's stopping anyone from blocking the update server using a proxy or something?I sort of suspect they won't ever ship consoles with Wii mode installed.

Are you sure your wii U didn't update automatically? Check system settings.I have System software version 1.0.1e and can reboot into Wii mode. I have not tried a wii game disc channel as I don't have any [awaits Smash Bros Brawl in the post].
I have not had console connected to internet yet.
It might be that I can't run the wii disc channel but I can definately reboot into Wii mode.
No one try with Wilbrand ?
