Well I've sort of got an update with my Wii that I sent to Nintendo UK.
It's been 3 weeks now since it was delivered. I phoned them on Wednesday and the bloke said they DEFINENTLY have my console. He said he would try to make mine a priority and that if I don't get it back by Monday I should call back.
Called back yesterday and guess what. They said they have no record of mine and it might be lost. Bloke told me to fax over my proof of delivery and they will send me a new one. Faxed it over.
Phoned back an hour later to check they got the fax, bloke went to check, picked it up and said it might not be lost after all might just be in the post still they will need to 'investigate'.
Spoke to 3 people with 3 different opinions. Nintendo UK don't have a clue what they are doing. It really is a discrace.

3rd Party Title Problems
Similar to this posted earlier:
Setup: DVD projector with sensor bar 6 - 7 foot away, within the specified distance, no problems
For Nintendo I have Wiisports; LOZ
3rd Party I have: Redsteel; COD3; Rayman Raving Rabbids; Need for Speed
With the Nintendo titles I can play all day and not have a problem with any of the sports or LOZ - responsive accurate, no worries
With the 3rd party titles:
Rayman - if I sit back on the couch to play - I get "the wii controller has lost communication with the tv - please move closer!" bear in mind that this is about 6inches further back that when I lean forward!
COD3 - Where to start. When trying to move around with the wiimote, it skips about like a giddy schoolgirl then very very jerky and generally unresponsive. Nunchuck doesn't do jack when it comes to setting the fuse, fighting or driving. All other games with nunchuck work perfectly. When I quit the game back to the title screen, the signal cuts out and my dvd projector title screen comes up and I have to re source the signal....?
Redsteel - Similar to COD but also tends to drift when manouvering with wiimote - i.e. goes too far or just stops and then starts again. (nunchuck works a treat though!)
NFS - Cheeeesus I might as well be using a twix bar for this one, it is genuinely terrible - if I "steer" :lol: the responsiveness is so far behind it's really heeeee-rendous
I have re-syncronised, moved the sensor bar, altered the wii & in-game sensitivity and nothing improves the 3rd party controls. Now whilst this may seem fairly trivial compared to the terrible problems listed over the many pages of this thread (BTW I have also had a couple of lock ups, again mainly inthe 3rd party games, touch wood nothing too serious that a quick flick off of the power wouldn't solve)
Is this a pattern emerging - has Nintendo not told the 3rd party devs everything there is to know about the wiimotes magical powers :devil:
If anyone has figured a solution out as well I would be grateful...

Not necessarily, the fat side could have been mostly heatsinks and other stuff with the reader on the other side. Though if you read the instructions, i don't know how you could put it in upside down. Why doesn't anyone read the instructions?!?!?!?!?

we dont need no stinking instructions! since when do men use instructions for anything but bikes, we just take it apart first and see how it works that way
Don't know if anyone answered the error code of net freezing, but thats an error for a router to be 'down', when my wireless signal disconnects when loading or when it's not on it comes with that error. Freezing is because your pushing to much at the CPU to fast, the opera browser uses alot of 'power' to run, and causes it to freeze. If your connected to Mii wiiconnect24 and playing a game, it can cause it to freeze if the connection is lost.
Faulty Wii returned to Nintendo UK
My Wii's graphic chip gave up about one week into owning my Wii. Got those green dots all over the screen. Was particulary bad in Red steel.
Called up Nintendo who said to just box the console itself and the AV cable and sent it. In the UK you indeed have to pay to ship it yourself!. Cost me £7.90 to send by royal mail special delivery.
Posted it this Monday afternoon, not expecting not to see a Wii for a while, sicne the Nintendo guy said it would be at least 2 weeks before they send a new on out.
Got up this morning thinking maybe I should call em up to see if they've logged it into their system yet etc. (i did check that it was signed for on Royal mail's website before). Then there was a ring of the doorbell - it was the parcel force guy with a new Wii!! this is Friday morning!
So it looks like they may have cleared their backlog or something, but that was quick!
Note, that the guy did tell me to be sure to address the package to the 'Wii Department' to ensure they got it asap. So it sounds like there is more than one dept there and your Wii can be sat for days before it gets sent to the correct dept.
The guy said that they would transfer the settings from my old Wii, but the Wii I received was completely clean, lost my Mii's & savegames. Luckily i didn't have any Wii points installed.
Apart fromt hat the Wii works sweet!, tested Red steel first and thats all good.
Hope everyone else gets theirs back as soon as I did!!

Sometimes when I am playing my Wii it will freeze up and I have ti reset everything and unplug the cord. After I do this it works fine, but I am just worried that there is a problem with it. It only happens once and a great while, but it shouldn't do that.
I also have problems with the Wii Remote. Last night I left my Wii on for a little while going out and when I came back to play it the Wiimotes would not work, the lights would blink four times and wouldn't remain on. I have no idea why it did that. I had to unplug everything in order for them to work. I am guessing this is normal, but I would like a second opinion. Thanks.
