Wever said:Yeeey! Another speculation rumor thread!Lemme just dig up my 2 cents...
I think nintendo will win on this one. I think that SMG2 will start by checking whether both the firmware version is 4.2 (and update if needed). It'll do a check whether all cIOS'es are stubs. The disc will have NCA protection (or whatever that one from NSMBWii was called), contain very strict regional codes that insta-brick any wii out of region and will contain about a dozen different alt dols that are called at the start of each level, and everytime a player touches a button. Every two minutes it'll check a random IOS for the trucha bug, and auto-pause the game and fix it if it finds it. It'll also do a check for the presence of bootmii, preloader and priiloader, as well as a \apps folder on the SD card.
Furthermore, it'll also be the first wii game with an online serial key you're required to enter if you want to play online, and after entering the first time, it'll show you your wii ngID and MAC address, which you're required to mail to some address from nintendo itself. Only after entering the return mail (and agreeing that in case your key is ever found NOT in your possession, they're allowed to sue the pants off you) you can start to play the game.
That's all assuming no trace of piracy is detected, of course. If there is, it will uninstall bootmii, preloader/priiloader, wipe out the contents of the SD-cards and any USB drives attached, and then uninstall each and every IOS and cIOS. Just before restarting your wii in brick-modus, it'll display the following message: "I DARE you to try to send us back your wii, you f****ING pirate! We'll bill you a ridiculous idiot-fee and send you back a new "say goodbye to backup discs"- wii. Oh, and we'll transfer your address and social security number to microsoft and sony, so good luck script-kiddying THEIR consoles."
Sneek, however, will load SMG2 perfectly fine.
No worries, i just emailed all of this to Nintendo
