Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
Each night when we go to watch something on Netflix I have to select "try again" three or four times to get the Wii to connect to the Internet to pull up on our instant queue. Our computers are connected fine, so I'm worried our Wii is having connection issues.
Has anyone else experienced something similar to that?

The old standby for Wii Wireless problems was to change the channel your wireless router uses to broadcast to either 1 or 11. By default it will probably be 6.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
Probable reasons for the lack of discussion:
1. It's Japan only
2. Most of us bought these on the VC in the past few years
3. Most Wiis are clogged with dust?

I own the SNES cartridge so I have no interest in the VC.
Kind of off-topic, but would I be considered crazy for thinking the Super Mario All-Stars is the best game ever?

Thanks for that. I should have included my router info, which is Linksys wrt54gv2. I tried changing the channel to 11, and I still had problems with it. It's only with the Netflix disc, and it's only intermittent. It's still annoying, though...

DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX
Yup, I'll be getting that one as well. Looks pretty awesome.
I just hope that I don't have to hold my wiimote sideways like in NSMB Wii (and Metroid Other M) as that feels uncomfortable and cramped to me.
Does anyone play games with a classic controller? Can you use one in NSMB Wii?
