According to Japanese retailers, Nintendo is planning on releasing Wii consoles in Japan that are mod-proof.
The new hardware revisions would include the "snipping" of "some of the pins from the surface-mounted IC on the motherboard,", a change that would make current modchips useless and send modders back to the drawing board.
No official word from Nintendo yet, and so far the only systems affected would be Japanese consoles, not North American or European.
More updates as they become available.
