Oh, and since I found out that you can even gift the "free Wii Ware" things like the Metroid Prime 3 Preview Channel, I've been having fun with my Wii Friends...

:D

It's actually really ingenius, since you could use them as like birthday presents for your friends or as tourney prizes. So, no it's not a lame feature, check mii out is a lame feature but not the gifting feature.

*sigh* Fanboys... think that everything Nintendo does is ingenious, even when it's clearly aimed to suck more money out of you for their overpriced VC system. Is it also ingenious that they have the prices arranged so you'll inevitably left with points on the account? No refunds, of course. Once in a while, I'd like to see an objective opinion around these boards... unfortunately, I think anyone who has one gets modded these days.

Here's a huge flaw with your statement. You call him a "fanboy" and imply that people like him "think everything Nintendo does is ingenious". Yet, he stated in his post that the Check Mii Out Channel is lame (not "ingenious").

I know it's tough reading a full 2 sentences, but it is helpful sometimes.

The problem with some people is that they expect every update to be the end all be all of updates, that some huge thing is coming that will give them everything for nothing. I myself just assume that every update will suck. That way, if I'm wrong, I'm pleasantly surprised. Otherwise, at least I'm not disappointed..

And this gifting feature, though nothing earth shattering, is a good idea. Especially for the adults who have friends/family that are Wii owners. It will make shopping for those friends/family a lot easier with no shipping charges (yes, I've mentioned the no shipping charges before, but considering most of my family are several states away, it's a big deal for me. I hate shipping presents...).

Agreed with second quote. I have a nephew who is getting a Wii for Christmas. He and his mom (my wife's sister) live like 5 states away now. After this Christmas, buying him birthday and future Chirstmas presents will be easy, and no more shipping charges!

I also will probably hold some contests on a few sites I run/work for. Should work out well actually...

@Chris_Eye, thanks for the info! I swear that when I last read about it on the Nintendo site, it didn't say anything about the games that support MP3 playback...

@Jaysonguy, that's good to know too! I wasn't about to update it if I couldn't go back, but if I can just delete the update, maybe I'll check it out. Especially if it's not going to change the file support in games like Excite Truck.

[QUOTE="Killermonkey915"]i downloaded it and i want MP3 back.Jaysonguy

Go into your channels and delete it. It'll turn back to Photo Channel 1.0

Are you sure about that? I swear I read that those who update will not be able to go back to the old version...

I'm technologically deficient when it comes to MP3s. How do you add your own to Excite Truck? :oops:

It's pretty easy. Pop a SD card with MP3s on it into your Wii. When you are playing Excite Truck, go into the options. For "Music" there is an option that says "Random" or something like that. Select that and it will randomly play the MP3s once each race starts.

[QUOTE="gibson-les-rick"]did Nintendo not learn from their mistakes??!!!gibson-les-rick

So what you're saying is that Nintendo has the speed of production in all their plants on "medium" and you're wondering why they didn't turn them to "high"?

Yeah, Nintendo is purposely dragging their feet in producing many systems so that they can't sell to their full potential. They enjoy loosing out on money...

Yeah, that makes sense.

:roll:

So who is going to be updating the Photo Channel that came out last night? I for one won't be. Those of you who don't know, the update will be taking away MP3 support in favor of theAAC file format.

I have never used AAC, so I don't see the point.

And what really makes me nervous is, will that also take away MP3 support in games like Excite Truck?

Personally, I wish they had just included AAC and allowed both file formats instead of just taking away MP3 support...

What do you all think?
