Is there a site for the Wii that's similar to teamxbox.com?

I don't know if this was discussed already but if you guys haven't tried the "Blazing Lazers" download from the TG16 games then do it.
It was the coolest game back in the day.

Well, one of my new kittens just chewed through my Wii's sensor bar, the cord is very thin. I thought my Wii was completely broken for a while, looks like I'm out of Zelda for a few days and out $16 with shipping for a new sensor bar.

depends how long you forget. I've forgotten for over 2 hours, then noticed the blue light was on, and it's currently on the first set.
I've done that a few times actually.

My setup is in the basement therefore I would never accidentally notice the blue light on. I'd be screwed.

I started really using mine out of laziness after I set up the new entertainment center. We normally just keep it in the travel case in the event we feel the need to take it to a friends house.
After using candles to play the Wii one time, it really doesn't surprise me that this thing works so well, or lasts a while on batteries

That's cool. I hate the range of the wired one because I can't sit and play from my computer desk.
Just kidding! But seriously, there are times when I'm trying to read Wii set up help or Friend Codes from the Net but I have to stand up and stretch over the desk with my arm out to use the Wii Remote. That sucks while clicking out long ass Wii Friend Codes. That's the main reason why I've only put in one so far.

When I went to WalMart earlier today to buy the Hot Fuzz DVDs, I checked the case to see if they had any Wii systems in stock. I've only seen a Wii in a store three times, and it's been at a WalMart each time - the day I bought mine in December, the day my cousin bought his in January, and I saw a couple of them in the case about a month or so ago.
Anyway, when I checked today, to my surprise, the WalMart store had at least 12 Wii systems in stock. I say at least because the case was totally full, and there wasn't room for any more of them at all. I was so shocked to see so many in stock. I saw more Wii systems today at that one WalMart than I've seen since it was first released combined.
