Anyone tried WiiCade.com yet?
You go through the Wii/Opera Browser and it is Flash Games that use the WiiMote.

I think you meant WiiCade.com and yes I have tried it. The 3Dish pong game (Curveball) is pretty fun.
Good thing if you have a few minutes you've got to kill

Yah I thought I'd play with it once and forget about it, but I find myself going back to vote, check poll results, and to see if my predictions are correct.

You're right - at least I got the link right.
I'll fix the text.

I got a 2Wire from Telus that gave me nothing but trouble at first. I finally figured out what the problem was, and also use 2Wire's Troubleshooting--Connecting the DS to the 2Wire wireless network-- to help me connect my Wii (as the connection options are almost identical b/w the handheld and console) on their website.
Once I figured it out, its been smooth sailing ever since.
TurnedTheCorner, you may want to try the Wi-Fi USB connector, I know I have seen them at Wal-Mart, but that might work better than your router. Also is your Wii more than 30 feet from your wireless gateway?

My Wii is no more than 8 feet from my router. Perfect for gaming - I actually have the wireless because my PC is in a room without a phone jack. It's probably 12 feet away and through 2 walls, and it still connects.
If the newest gateway doesn't resolve this, I will likely get the Wi-FI USB as a last resort.  I'm not keen on the idea of booting up my PC to go online with my Wii.

I had similar problems. Try changing the channel on your router. That fixed my problem.

I appreciate the suggestions everybody. Half a day of troubleshooting and about a 20 minute phonecall to Nintendo tech support later, I'm posting this with my Wii.  Channel 9, WPA-PSK security. Which hoops my DS connection, of course. I'm going to monkey around a bit online, then try going back to WEP. *crosses fingers*

Online development was not available for games developed for the Launch.
There will be some online games coming out in the coming months. I'm Really hoping that Metroid Prime 3 is one of them.

EA has committed tons of support for the Wii, so I have no doubt there will be an NHL game for the Wii in the fall of 2007

I don't know... I personally WOULD be suprised to see a Wii NHL game next year.
Graphically it would probably still be in the old gen ala Madden if it did happen.
A Wii hockey game would need ALOT of planning to be good, if they take this year and get one ready for NHL 09 I think it'd be better off.
I am a NHL series community leader and know some producers. I'll ask them down the road, but I personally would be very suprised to see a Wii NHL game in the near future.
Hopefully there's another EA NHL community day this year..

I just got my Wii yesterday, it's so much fun ... even my wife, who is not at all a gamer, loves it - she's laughing and yelling downstairs as I type ... now for some Wiimotes ...

Are the Wii's still selling out in minutes around Calgary? I keep trying every now and then, but it seems they are consistently out of stock.

Pretty much. I've read a few posts on redflagdeals and by the sounds of it, people are still lining up. I'm sure glad I grabbed on online a week after release. I never would have thought they would still be in short supply nearly 4 months since the release.
