Wii update kills Twilight Princess hack, but not Homebrew Channel...and blocks Freeloader?

Today’s Wii update was a stab in the heart for a portion of the community. The long-running Twilight Princess hack has been put to rest. On the flip-side, the Homebrew Channel that was whipped up seems to be just fine. I wonder if Nintendo purposefully went after the TP hack, but wanted to leave the window open for homebrew. More should develop on this story as the night continues on. Thanks to Kolma for the heads up!

UPDATE - Word is, this latest update blocks the Freeloader as well. Can anyone confirm this with a picture? If so…shoot me an email.

UPDATE 2 - Well that was fast! Reader Bylim snapped us a pic of his Wii rejecting the Freeloader.
