With a regular software update framework in place, Nintendo would have no problem patching out a recently discovered, game-breaking bug in Metroid: Other M. Unfortunately, such a system doesn’t really exist, leaving the company to adopt a more … unique approach to solving the problem.

We’ve contacted Nintendo of America to see if it’s come up with a more practical — or any — approach to fixing the issue. As it stands right now, homebrewers had a fix ready to go about a week ago, and that’s … well, that’s just silly.
