Wii Friends

[LuvPeckham]

Sad to admit but I have a Wii, and I wonder who else in ED has one and wishes to share their Console Code with others in the area.(it allows you to send emails and Mii's to each other for those of us who don't have one - YET)

In the name of online safety I guess the following should apply

1. Register an interest on this thread but don't post your code here directly

2. Private Message people with a request for console codes

3. Over 16's only (I guess a seperate thread could be set up for under 16's on this as well)

Oh and for those of you in your 2nd or higher childhood - if you haven't got one yet trust me it's the best toy I have at the moment (especially when you have a drunken Wii party !!)

Now if only they had a Hungry Hippo Game on it as well !!!

I can give you my wii number. I have to say it's the worst interface in the world for trying to add friends and the like. I can never blimmin find it!!!

Can the Wii link up with a Nintendo DS?

[buggie]

great a wii's are fab thread!!!! Not sure if getting a wii is directly related to being told I need glasses yesterday! Bit confused about the wii code thing... not got it sorted out with the wireless yet - can you play games at the same time on different wii's online too??

[mockney piers]

regards the linking, not sure, will look into it, but they are both wifi enabled so I don't see why they shouldn't.

Hi Buggie

You can play games between friends, however they are limited to only certain games at the moment (Mario Striker Challenge is one) and you need good connection speeds to do it with (dial up is not an option) Wireless connection is easy and all you need to do is know what security your router has and it's SSID name.

The Wii code can be found by going to the little envelope thing on the main menu, then compose a new message and will be displayed on the front of the address book when you open it (not the most logical route but....)

Mockney - Totally agree about the interface although the same route as above applies

Also the latest update (system wide) a week ago has allowed the use of a USB keyboard for certain activities (apart from the internet channel)

Mogs - Not yet... but it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't soon

In terms of Wii's are great - I agree apart from at 3am when you are still 20 minutes away from a save point and have to be up for 6:30am ... then bed is better !!!

Mockney - want to swap your Mariokart DS for my Cookin' Mama for a bit? I'll look after it!

Tried to buy it second hand at Blockbuster last week and head office had it in as more expensive used than new! Argh!

[mockney piers]

If I had MarioKartDS I would do so.

How about for Advance Wars DS, one of the best games of all time.

Zelda and the minish cap (yeah, old advance game, but still great)

[BarryRoad]

sounds cool! bring it tonight?

I love MarioKart Doubledash

[mockney piers]

I'll have a rummage for it.

Bit late to the party, but have just got myself a Wii and am up for adding a few friends. Agree that PMs seem the best way forward from here for code swappage etc.

[CamberwellOz]

More positive Wii talk please.... then Mr CamberwellOz might allow me to buy one. Hmpf.

I got one last Thursday - easy to set up wireless though no idea how to do the wii / mii friends thing. GET ONE THEY ARE ACE!!!!

Ratty, click on the envelope icon in the Wii menu. From there click on the icon to write a new message, and then on the address book. That will display your Wii number, and its also where you hit register to enter other peoples' Wii numbers.

Terrible way of organizing it, but there you go.
