Okay, I had recently found out that my wii is getting a bit hot, and from I heard from others, I may want to check if there are any miisles during play. All these are due to wiiconnect24 standby, which is why i turned the standby mode off for now.

Do you think I should put it in Standby mode and risk overheating it, or just leave standby off? If on, and does overheat, what do I need in order to get Nintendo fix my overheated wii?

I've had my Wii on standby since launch and its always been fine really. I honestly don't see you having to let it on standby mode really, just leave it off and when you switch your wii on I suppose you'll get your updates, message etc, then.

its warm, not hot though, but mine is in quite a well ventialated area too, ontop of my DVD player, next to my TV. I don't exactly know what hot is for you as mine might be the same temperature as yours except I may consider that to be warm :? I'm getting confused now, but if you are really worried about it then either turn the standby off, or contact Nintendo. Thats all I can say really

you still get the messages when you've standby off, you just need to turn on the console to recive the e-mails & get the blue light.
