Im interested in adding some Wii Friends to my address book.

Please PM me with your Wii number and Wii name and I will respond with the same.

Feel free to bump this thread too as this is a busy forum

I still havent figured out how to set up the web broswer yet, so any help there would be awesome.

the_hound · 01-14-2007, 03:42 PM

^^what did you need help in setting up ?^^

BlackArcher101 · 01-14-2007, 03:44 PM

How about adding them into the thread for all to see? I don't see a problem with that. The more the merrier right?

Other than sending messages, is there any benefit to adding Wii Friends? Do our Mii's roam to other Wii's - and we don't have to load them to remotes to use them on other consoles?

kermitology · 01-14-2007, 07:47 PM

I'll join you all as soon as I get to participate..

At this very moment it is just for message sending and sharing Mii's.

I would imagine additional benefits down the road in terms of online gaming. For example, perhaps Multiplayer Virtual Console games could be played

I can't believe you aren't calling it Wiimail yet :P

Flames09 · 01-15-2007, 04:06 AM

Is it pronounced "Y" or "WE" ??? Also heard it gives you a decent workout is that true? Sorry I dont mean to hijack the thread.

JimmytheT · 01-15-2007, 01:00 PM

It's pronounced 'We', and you can achieve a good workout from some of the games. So its sort of yes and no:

THe motions only need to be small, however if you want to play some games more realistically, for example, boxing, you feel like throwing actual punches, though all that is required is a small flick of the wrist to throw a jab.

Super-Rye · 01-15-2007, 08:04 PM

Can anyone help me? I'm connected to the internet, how do I get the wii browser? How do I see my Wii number? I'm lost.

showtime · 01-15-2007, 08:08 PM

Im having all the same problems as Super-Rye, i tried to go to the market thing once and all i got was updating for like an hour.

Amicus · 01-15-2007, 08:10 PM

the easiet way to connect to the internet is just select ur wireless router from the list, and add whatever wep key u have.

for the browser u have to go to the wii shop, and download it. it's a free trial right now.

It should take a maximum of 5-10 minutes to download the update, so your wireless router or Wi-Fi USB Connector in you computer (I have the Wi-Fi USB connector), may be receiving interference.

As for Super-Rye, your Wii number is in your address book (go to the message board, where it shows you "Today's Play History"), and the web-browser can be downloaded from the Wii Shopping Channel under Wii-Ware (the trial is free). The full version of the web broswer is set for march or april, and I believe it will be free until June.

Edit: Showtime, I'd recommend calling Nintendo's 1-877 support line, if you need to speak to an operator, you probably will not be on hold for more than a couple minutes if at all.
