Nintendo Wii Game Reviews

If you have played dodgeball on Playground for the Wii you will see characters dash up for the ball. This isn’t a cheat on how to do it but just telling how to do it. We found it in the instructions 5-6 pages in. To dash or rush up to the ball press the up button (or down depending on what side you’re on) and when the counter leaves 1 push the Wii controller forward. Time it right and your person will have super speed and dash for the ball. Get it wrong and they will fall..

Another tip: to fake a throw in dodgeball hold the direction pad in any direction and do a throwing motion. Your player will act like they’re going to throw the ball. Fake your opponents out!

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.

Many 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.
