I swear I'm buying you a round at the bar when you finally get one.

There will be much rejoicing.
I would sell a PS3 on ebay if I managed to get one... but that's more because there isn't anything interesting to me on the console. The Wii however, I'd keep to play Zelda!

Can they even fit that kind of content onto a wii game? Isnt it a proprietary format or something. I wonder what the capacity is like. It also kind of sucks that the wii doesnt play DVDs. I just read somewhere that they are going to release a version in Japan that will, seems kinda cheesy, they should have just made it standard
I agree, the voice acting in zelda... wtf were they thinking?!?!? should have been all or nothing. Or... an option for internet folk. have the voices stream.. heh, ok, that's a bad idea.
As for DVD's... they just didn't want to pay the licensing regarding it. I'm 99% confident that nintendo could just release a paid "DVD chanel" along w/ a firmware update and we'd have a dvd player. Imagine using the wiimote to point at your menus
But still no digital out port. I'm surprised that wasn't standard. Then again, if you plan on watching DVDs on your Wii, you probably wont even know what that port is for.
I emailed Nintendo about the Wii getting hot when it is off but the Wiiconnect is turned on. This was their response"
I don't know if this is just a canned response or if they are actually interested. I'll try calling next week when I have time.

Well... I turned my system off from the power last night so then it could cool down a bit. I used a thermometer, and the sucker was at 40C! I don't want my Wii frying, then not be able to get another 1 for a few days

that's 104 F if anyone's curious.
In all the pictures I see, the wii has a blue light from the disc slot. How do I get that light to turn on? It flashes for 1/4 of a second when I first power it up, then goes off again.

Nintendo has had capacity excuses for their past two systems - N64 and ~64MB carts vs. 600MB+ CDs and GC and 1.5GB discs vs. ~8.5GB discs. Twilight Princess isn't exactly a true Wii title, its an upgraded GameCube one. But still, Nintendo is kinda slacking on this one.

It's such a copout...I just don't understand. Honestly, there are probably droves of talented voice actors who would be knocking their doors just to get the chance to do it for free...capacity is such a absurd excuse...if compressed, you could fit all the dialogue in under 20mb or less.
Yep, ordered my straps. Great move, Nintendo. Pissed me off that I couldn't pick my registered system from my My Nintendo account though, had to crawl into my entertainment console again to copy it off my Wii.
haha, I was thinking the same!
As for the straps, I ordered new ones just two days ago because of the rumors they "upgraded" them... blast. Oh well, I ask for some replacements too. It was only $4. I just threw them in the order because I wanted another sensor bar.
It's cool they're beefing up the strap, but I still believe that if you break one of these, you are playing WAY too hard.
I ordered 4
I do plan on getting a few more Wii-motes, and I could use the extra(s) for my DSL.There are ways... but I can't remember them. Check the Nintendo forums. My friend has his on when the system is on...
I think I remember reading that if you sent an email to your wii account (not sure how to do this or details... because I DON'T HAVE MINE YET... AARRGH!!!!) and don't read it, the light will stay on.

Send a message to yourself or have a friend do it, and then never read it. Your light will stay on all of the time.
BD2003, you did indeed just miss the compass and map for that dungeon. I did it last night myself.

Anyone pick up Rayman Raving Rabbids? I can't figure out how to aim the "ball" in the minigame "Bunnies Can't Play Soccer". I've tried using the remote before the kick, during flight, and nothing seems to work.
I sure do love the on-rails shooting minigames, though.

And engadget(or was it joystiq?) had an article on someone modding it to use the blue bars in-sync with the consoles sound.
