It makes me worry

But I've heared that updating you Wii will remove the Homebrew channel and let you access the Store without bricking your Wii if the Wii is softmodded without a modchip.
Something I don't understand in your case is why you can't access the store. Mine is softmodded and I can access it...

@Ben2998: I did update my Wii, that's the weird part. Before I updated it, it wouldn't let me into the channel at all; it'd just error me out of it before it would load. Now that I've updated it, it does the white "Wii" screen with the loading circle for a minute, but after it finishes loading nothing actually appears. It's really weird.
I should note that I can access the other WiiConnect24-infused services like the News and Forecast Channel with my system (which I couldn't do when I was CFW'd), it's JUST the Shop that's fucked up now.

THEORETICALLY, a system restore shouldn't affect your account on the shop channel for the games you've already downloaded (and allow you to redownload them) AS LONG AS a system restore does NOT change your system's base friend code.
Again, the only safe thing I can suggest is to tell Nintendo that some unholy person (probably a PSP owner) corrupted the innocense of your poor, little Wii.
Umm... and don't take offense at that last sentence... I didn't mean it like THAT...

I think my Wii got damaged a year or so ago when someone knocked it off the TV table by pulling too hard on the GCN controller cable while playing MK64. =/
I'm currently trying to update it again; the Wii is downloading a new system update now, so we'll see what happens. Hopefully it'll just override the CFW, I really don't need it.
@hazelnut: I'll look into that too, but honestly I don't think I'll be needing to play any import Wii games for a while so I probably don't need the CFW anyways. Thanks for looking it up for me though. If this still doesn't work I'll give it a look.

The only thing about the game that can be controversial is its 3-D dungeons and tough learning curve (you need to grind for about 30 minutes before you can explore). I always like the dungeons, and have wonderful memories of pulling out the graph paper and learning how to beat the dungeon. You get the sense of actually exploration, you get atmosphere, and you get the sense of accomplishment unavailable in other RPGs of the time.
PSIV may be better now, but judged against it's own time, PS is the best of the lot because none of its contemporaries even came close.

And just think: it's $30 now for a Genesis compilation with all four Phantasy Star games and another 30 or 40-odd titles.

Worked like a charm (and still works whenever I get the hankering for some Master System action).

The battle system was perfect, it had macros, you could combine attacks for some awesome combos
PSIV also had so many nods to the previos games,
It has great replayability and amazing side missions,
Plus the best part was the amazing manga style "cut scenes" the were better than anything else in the 16bit era and only bettered by FFVIII in the 32 bit (as much as I love VII and IX they did not really cut it in terms of cutscenes or FMV)
08/31/09
Fixed.
08/31/09
Agree!

Phantasy Star III isn't better than anything. In fact it's easily one of the worst games in the series and one of the worst RPGs of that era. I say fact, but a lot of people agree with that sentiment and in retrospect everyone realised they had made a mistake calling that game Phantasy Star.

Have you even PLAYED any of the Art Style games? Obviously not, because if you had, you'd want a DSi.
The Art Style games are great, and worth the upgrade...Doctor Mario Express isn't half bad either. :3

The Art Style games
Is that some sort of "Graphics over Gameplay" dealie?
