Quote:I'll definitely do that. A good friend of mine bought a Wii on launch day and is really happy with it so far. The only hiccup is that she has had trouble connecting to the online Wii thingamajig. It connected to her wireless router just fine, but she can't download updates or anything from the online Wii shamozzle. We both figure that it's due to the Wii farflugen being overwhelmed. She'll try again in a day or so and report back to me.
The inability of the Wii to connect through wireless routers is a reported issue although i'm not sure if it is all wireless routers in general, only certain routers, or only certain production numbers of the Wii that are affected. keep an eye on the usual sources as i'm sure more info about this will roll out over the next week. Nintendo may have to ship firmware disks out to game stores etc. Their original plan was to do so with many of the launch systems but they were able to get a great majority of the early production units updated with the newest firmware for launch.
