Wii to have upgradable Linux OS

There’s bits and pieces of information floating around that revolve around Iwata Asks interviews on Nintendo’s website. What I found interesting was the tidbit about the updatable operating system: ‘Wii is the first system from Nintendo that we can continue to be involved in (via operating system updates) after the customer buys it.

What’s that sound? Its another reason to get excited about the Wii! I can see a lot of hacks in the Wiis future. An upgradable OS is a huge benefit to the consumer, and should be a feature of any console, really.
