This is a big one! Check out this article about the possibility of Netflix adding in support for the Nintendo Wii! I would definitely pay $9.99 for the CD. The article also mentions Nintendo is not going to include native support in the next firmware upgrade. Doesn’t matter though I’m ok with putting in a CD for instant access to 12,000 movies! What do you think? Would you pay one time for the CD?

How to Find Your Wii Console ID

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

This post would have saved me a half hour or so when I got my Nintendo Wii earlier this year. Here is how to find your Wii’s console ID so you can share it with others and send your Mii’s and also send messages to each other.

  1. Turn your Nintendo Wii on
  2. Click on Wii message board in the lower right
  3. Click on Create Message on the lower left
  4. Click on address book.
  5. Your Wii Console ID will be displayed.

Feel free to share your Wii Console ID in your comments. The video below will also show how to find your Wii ID. It’s not the best looking because of the sync with the TV and the camcorder.

Cancelled GameFly Membership

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Hello everyone. Just an update as to why this blog has not been updated as frequently as I would have liked. It’s summer and I don’t play as many games so the GameFly membership was temporarily cancelled. Maybe in the Fall/Winter I will be writing more updates. Which brings me to this: Would you like to write for this blog? Use the contact form and I’ll get back to you ASAP! I’m looking for Wii game reviews only right now. In the future I may add in reviews for the other game systems.

Wii Console Updates

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Wii Console ImageMany Wii users came to their Wii this week and noticed the blue drive light was on. Upon turning their Wii on a notice that Nintendo had released an update was displayed. After updating my Wii I downloaded the new Nintendo Channel. I like the Nintendo Channel it is more of a marketing area at least that’s how it came off to me. Nintendo puts up interviews and game trailers. I thought I read about downloading Nintendo DS games to the Wii and then the DS can grab the demo game but I have not found that part yet.

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Check out this post about Wii critics blasting Nintendo that 3rd party developers would not be ble to use the Wiimote based on the old Game Cube closedness.. Wrong. I need to play Resident Evil 4 for the Wii as soon as I’m done playing Bully Scholarship Edition.
