I don't know, this one seems like it will be particularly horrible though:

Not only is it based of an terribly annoying show, look at the equally bad graphics:

[QUOTE="webbut"]someone else had a similar problem...i forgot what it was exactly it was but i believe the remedy was to send it into nintendo asap chex81

tis the case...i had this issue with my launch Wii, sent it in for repairs and recieved a brand new console which works 100% perfectly. Call Nintendo and get it replaced.

If you don't mind me asking, when you got it replaced was it still under warrenty? If not did you have to pay for a re0placement? I'd like mine replaced but they want like $75, were you able to shame them in some way to replace it for you? Thanks for the help.

So, while I was playing SBB last week I began to notice that the title screen looks awful, and there was some green pixles appearing. After doing some reading I believe that this is due to the graphics card failing. Later I also noticed those same green dots at the home screen. So I was wondering if anyone could answer some questions.

First, does this mean that my graphics card is doomed? The green dots don't really bother me right now, can I like slap on one of those aftermarket external wii fans to prevent further degregation or something.

Also, for those of you who have had this problem, how much does nintendo charge to fix it? I got my wii at launch, so the warrenty is expired, still I personally think that Nintendo should cover it seeing that it seems to be at least fairly prevelent, yeah good luck with that. When I called the other day to Nintendo they wanted $75 but would knock it down to $56.
