Wii 'tips n tricks'
Figured a tips n tricks section would be kind of cool. Some of these were found by IGN users.
1. Press the home button on the main menu. Next click on the controller image. You can adjust the wii=mote volume and rumble functions
2. hold a and b down and you can move the windows on the main menu around.
3. In order to add someone to your friend's list you BOTH have to enter eachother's Number ID and Console Nickname to be able to send messages and Mii's
4. Want your plain-looking Wii to have some style? Add a blue light around you CD drive anytime the console is on by doing the following:
Go to your email from the home menu, and add your personal computer email address to your address book. Wait ~1 hour for the email (mine took at least this long) Reply to the email from your computer. In a few minutes, you will have an email waiting for you on your Wii. Don't read it! As long as it remains new, you have a pretty blue light!
5. In wii sports bowling, you can release on the back swing and throw the ball backwards. It scares all the miis behind you.
6. Email A Wii: You can email any Wii that you know the Friend code for. The Email address will be w(Wii Number here)@wii.com. For Example: w123456789012@wii.com
7. Get rid of Generic Teammates/Spectators: The Wii will automatically use the other Miis in your Plaza as teammates and spectators in certain Wii sports games. Create friends and family, and you can get rid of the generic Miis.
8. Register and Extend Warranty: Register your Console on Nintendo.com, get a free 90 day extension to your warranty.
9. Get Free Nintendo Power: Register 3 Nintendo products on Nintendo.com, and get 3 months of Nintendo Power free.
10. Extra Parts: There are two parts to the Wii in your box that you may either not find, or never know what they are. The first is a Clear Disc piece. This piece fits under your Wii stand to Stabalize it's balance. The second is a Small(1" - 1.5") plastic Piece. This piece is the stand for the Sensor bar. It puts some disntance between your TV and the bar. In theory, that should give you a better angle reception.
11. Get Miis in your parade: Setting your Miis to Mingle, and having your friends do the same thing will soon have Miis walking around in your parade. Your friends' Miis will wonder over to your console and parade around, so long as they are set to Mingle. You can then grab them and send them to your Plaza so you have a copy.
12. In Zelda, the direction Link spins when doing a spin attack depends on which way you spin your nunchuck
13. In Wii Sports Bowling, when you press up on the Directional Pad, it will zoom in on the lane. The zoom in sound is the exact same sound from Super Mario 64 anytime you moved the camera.
14. If you go to the Channel section in your menu you can choose to save VC games on a SD card....
15. In LOZ:TP if you keep it at the start screen for an extended period of time, it plays an extremely extended trailer that they didn't show to the general public which is pretty cool.
16. On hole 3 of Wii Sports Golf, there is a small section of fairway at about a 45 degree angle to the left from the tee box. It is a small patch surrounded by Out Of Bound-ness. If you can land your ball on there, you can easily make it on the green in 2, to to Eagle the course.
17. Wii Video 9 - Wii Video Converter
Wii Video 9 is a free video conversion application developed by Red Kawa. It allows you to convert your computer video files (like avi, divx, mpeg, etc.) into the specific video formats that are playable on the Wii.
Wii Video 9 can also be combined with Videora, another software application, and together they can let you automatically download and convert video for your Wii using BitTorrent and RSS technology. - Nodren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15if you didnt care why'd you bother posting it, then come back an hour later to say you dont care?
c'mon who are you trying to fool? - JacNet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9What is with the "9"?
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11They mention Wii Video 9, which is cool, I only knew about PSP Video 9. But they failed to mention the URL
http://www.wiivideo9.com
Also might want to note that it's not made by the same people as PSP Video 9 (Videora) - Easty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Triblinator:
Why bother with that? ROMs and emulators are already available across the internet.
The VC is for people who don't want to break the law. - Poddo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12Too bad this blog blatantly stole this infromation from a much more complete forum post on IGN. Word for word even...
http://boards.ign.com/nintendo_wii_general_board/b8263/131601043/p1/?141 - themayorpwns, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6VC is for people who want to play classic games on their Wii, I'd rather play it there than on a keyboard.
- gage006, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4 oops.
- doddilus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@poddo
too bad its not a blog post, its a forum post
too bad you have to register to see the ign forum post - bouche, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2pointing this out isn't worth digging down. this is an exact duplicate post...just inside someone's forum.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thank you for this. I now have my Wii number.
- cody50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The coolest trick is with the email to get your cd light to stay on.
- techforce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I hit up gamestop about 4:30 this morning to find that I was second in line. A guy had been there since 12:00. A big crowd turned up about 6. Turns out they only had 2 so I lucked out.
- incubus13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Meh. all these sites are just teasing me :(
- Drogers81, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Way to steal other people's information.
- doshindude, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3this is a ripoff from an article a few days ago.
- farfromsubtl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here is some more, which were compiled and Dugg 2 days ago.
http://digg.com/gaming_news/Wii_secrets - tripm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the only tip i want is how to get one of the *****
- ziffel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'd like a "tip 'n trick" on where to f'ing find one for purchase (besides Ebay)
- kazz330, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0sorry for posting this then. i just saw it on the fourm i visited, and didnt think it would make people angry over it. if u cant say something nice, dont say anything at all :)
- superfly007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0yeah I hear ya. After today i've given up...I won't pay the scumbags on ebay more than retail + shipping, so I'm going to pick up an xbox 360 instead. I'll get a wii next year.
- bouche, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3this is easily a dupe list from a couple of days ago.
- chaka42, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0That's just sad man. Sad.
http://www.shortattentiongamer.com/ - triblinator, on 10/12/2007, -10/+0wow, you can save downloaded games to an sd card so you can get the binaries on a computer, then someone will quickly and easily thus be able to make a versoin of the virtual console download page accessable from the opera browser...i hope its massively encrypted or else piracy will out do the VC entirely
- QuantumTarantno, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2http://www.duggmirror.com
