    I really don't see the point of the wireless nunchuk. Has anyone ever really had a problem with that cord?

    a wireless nunchuk would be amazing for any sort of boxing game, if there actualy was a good one for the wii.

    Anybody ever play Madden, and you do that pull up real fast on the remote to do a kick and slap yourself in the face with the wire? That shit hurts. I wish I could say that me and my friend have only done that once, but it's more like once per Madden. If you play games that require real fast jerking (lol) and you don't have the strap on, it slap the shit out of you too.

    If you dudes didn't know: new Wii system updates. Shop Channel has a new icon and now you can reset it or exit it at any point with the HOME button (even if it locks up while loading). Also the new Gifting function is available. The new Photo Channel is available, though I haven't tried it yet.

    I'm going to do the update, but I *won't* get the new photo channel. Fucking nintendo dropping MP3 support.

    Dude, you can downgrade it back to normal at any time. And it allows you to set any picture as the channel icon so you can have a cute cat on your Wii menu or make up hilarious fake VC games.

    It's only the new Wii buyers who are screwed.

    I totally put a cat as my photo channel icon. Apparently I'm not that original.

    Having to convert your MP3s to AAC is a pain in the ass, but you get the ability to play your tunes at random with the new photo channel, at least. One step closer to a Miidia Channel...

    Set up TVersity and use the web browser instead.

    (or say "fuck it" and use a 360, which works better for this purpose anyway).

    I've tried a couple programs like that and none of them work. Something screwy with my router.

    any reason my Wii would make a grinding sound sometimes when I turn it on? It's not that common and it doesn't actually cause anything bad, but it scares me.

    yeah so it seems the video card has suffered heat damage, I am seeing visual artifacts on the Home menu, but here's the thing, they only show up on the Home menu for VC games. They do not show up on the games themselves, the channel select menu, or the Home menu for playing wii games. Only in the Home menu for VC games...strange stuff. Not sure if I wanna send it in quite yet, but I guess I should since it could get worse.

    If it is under warranty, why would you not send it in?

    I wanted to play it a little more, but i'll just send it in now. Probably better to so I can get it back by the time smash comes out.

    That's exactly why I sent mine off a week ago. :) I hope it comes back this week.
