Digitalx Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm just curious if it's true or not, if you don't want to test to see if it works don't put it in sunlight then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 If there was nothing wrong with your wii... then why did you update the firmware... You are required to to use online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystical112 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 mine worked fine with both updates... load times are pretty fast also... so far ive barely felt it in zelda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favvi Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 but the thing is, can one play a game right out of the box and not need to update? because I'll just wait on Nintendo when they fix the firmware update. if you enter your wifi internet connection settings, i do believe it automatically updates. my wii updates, and runs perfect.. good luck to everyones who doesn't. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryne Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yes, you can play games without upgrading the firmware. I think the upgrade was only to access some online stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugi Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Speaking to 1UP, a Nintendo spokesperson responded to the sunlight allegation, stating that "testing thus far shows no great risk of light interference when playing a game that relies on the pointer and sensor bar."

ahfunaki Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 So I get my Wii yesterday and it's playing fine for the first hour or so and now every time I try to play Wii Sports ( the only game I have so far ) it just gives me an "Unable to read the disc." error. I did the online update and it still didn't help. Is anyone else having this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugi Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yep. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=514072. Rush back to store and see if you can exchange before they run out ;). If theya re out you proably would be able to get one on the next shipment. Some sujested fixes are reseting the console to factory default ect. (I don't own a wii, sorry I can't be of much help) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeza Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 My second Wii is defective. After the firmware update, it is no longer able to connect to the internet with a message saying "There was a problem with the WiiConnect24 service. Please try again later." and nothing will fix it. even formatted the system memory and nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTN Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Good lord.. more and more of these problems are arising. And I was praying that the Wii had a flawless/bugless launch, just to laugh at PS3 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonEva Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 My Wii works perfect, not had a single problem with it yet (besides the first time turning it on and wondering wtf i had to do ;p ), 2 updates and both Wii Sports and Zelda run perfect, but i have heard of some others systems locking up during zelda though on www.gamefaqs.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Good lord.. more and more of these problems are arising. And I was praying that the Wii had a flawless/bugless launch, just to laugh at PS3 more. It seems all of these companies (sony, nintendo, microsoft) can't launch a bug free console. To my knowledge back in the old days this never happened, am I correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge back in the old days this never happened, am I correct? because they use to be made in Japan. I think the Wii is still made in Japan can anyone confirm this?

FreeWaRrior Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 On my first update, it froze(went black). Resetted it with my controller On the second update, it worked perfectly fine. I'm thinking maybe the freezing means to restart it. I would compare it like when installing windows updates you have to restart the computer to allow the changes to take place. However, the only thing that doesn't make sense is why it just goes black. But it does make sense to restart the wii. Played about maybe 1 hr, tried all the options except photo and had no freezing/disc reading problems (only inserted the disc into the console twice though). Didn't try purchasing a game though. I'll update if I have any problems, but otherwise, mine was fine. Hopefully that can put to rest some of the worries people have. It's probably rare to have problems. Oh yeah, when I recieved my first email on the wii, the blue light was freaking bright. (i set the option to bright). Good job Nintendo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
