Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing right. It's been a long time since i did a blog and i have decided to it about my Wii. Some of you may have heard of it, so i want to let you know that it isn't my intention to bother you and no i am not paranoid i was just worried.
The biggining:
It all began this year after i got my copy of Tatsunoko vs Capcom. This game is awesome but made doubt that my Wii is ok without a problem. Afte i got the game for wathever reason i took a look at the bottom of my Wii games. To my surprise i noticed something strange, my games have develop little lines which i don't consider scratches because they are very superficial and are invisible to the naked eye. Are a lot more noticeable on Smash Bros. Brawl which i used a lot.
These mystery lines are just on the tiny clear plastic around the hole and not on the actual game. In order for you to see them you need a strong light source like looking under a light bulb and reflect to find them looking closely. Under natural day light they are almost and in some case unnoticeable. I don't know maybe it's because my room is using one of those yellowish spiral bulbs.
The investigation
Soon after i began to doubt weather my Wii was ok or not i decide to investigate asking people on gamespot.com, gametrailers.com and gamepro.com Nintendo.com tech forums. I've received mix reactions and many on gamespot have told me their games have then and two persons from nintendo.com forums have them too.
Trying the last Hope for answer
After the doubt got bigger i tried my last hope for answers, calling Nintendo. I called them like 3 times. One lady didn't understand and began to tell me that the Wii isn't designed with anything that can scratch games and they can only get scratch in the console if i am move it while playing.
I called another day and this time the representative was a guy. this one told me that as long as i am not receiving read errors and i can play the games everything is working. He didn't new for sure what causes what i was talking but told me it could be from taking the games in and out of the cases.
After i got my copy of Mario Galaxy 2 i checked it out under my room light bulb. After that i beggan to play it and the same or 2nd day i took it out of the Wii and checked them again under the light bulb reflection and the little lines are developing.:? I didn't used my wii so much after that and decided to call again. This time another lady that didn't understand. The funny think she was insisting that maybe i wasn't taking good care of my games putting them in the cases or i moved the console with the games inside of it.
At the end since i no longer have warranty they can take a look at my Wii if i pay just $70.00 + $10 and i need to get the box the materials like bubbles to make sure it arrives ok. In my opinion it is not worth the money. More since it can be ok.:cry: Some people this it is just normal wear it will be better for me to leave it like that.:)
thanks for reading
