@BrainDerailment,
Yep. And I immediately pulled it out of the box (dropping it's value to roughly 15% of it's value), plugged it into my projector and beat The Legend of Zelda in one sitting.
The funny thing was that when it arrived via UPS, I took the package from the driver and handed her my roommate's RROD'd 360. I'd say I made out nicely in that exchange.

Yeah...Punch-Out is a first day purchase for me, so is Link's Magic Choo-Choo or whatever its called. So Nintendo is partially back in my good graces. I'd be a lot happier if we got a Kid Icarus announcement and some other first party titles instead of this "new play control" B.S. I'd also like to see some decent 3rd party support for Wii but that ain't happening.
Yes, I, too, am beginning to become friends with Wii again...
With Madworld, Onechanbara and House of the Dead:Overkill out and the upcoming Punch Out!!, the future looks bright.
So bright, I gotta wear shades, man!
=P

MAGIC CHOO CHOO FOR THE WIN!!
So... you can have the SD card in the wii and get extra pages of channel slots or something?

I have to admit that I'm surprised to see all the positive reactions that the new DS Zelda, Wii Punch-Out!!, semi-solution to the Wii's storage problem have received.
Personally, I was a little let down with Nintendo's GDC showing, but that's because my hopes were too high. I really thought we'd get an announcement of Trace Memory 2 or Fatal Frame IV coming to the states. I'll be really bummed if those games never come here, especially Fatal Frame.
Darn you, Nintendo of America! Darn you to heck!
That said, the free Pikmin hat DLC in Animal Crossing just made me giggle like a school girl.

I understand why you're let down, but I also don't understand at all why you were expecting anything out of the at GDC. It's a Game Developers Conference, not an industry event. It's cool that they announced something but they're in the minority there.

Don't worry, they'll do something to piss you again, they always do, and you'll go right back to them when they do something you're happy about and thus the cycle will continue.
@ Bwark-Kupo- Yeah, I don't understand me either.
Nintendo certainly did more at GDC than they had to, but when I heard that Iwata was going to announce games that GDC, I was all a flutter that I'd finally get to play Fatal Frame IV in English.
I want it real bad, if not just for the sexy, Luigi and Zero Suit Samus extras.

I flux between what console I care about all the time too. The Xbox has been neglected for about a month now while the PS3 took center stage, but the update is swinging me towards the Wii again. The gaming potential I have in front of me right now is almost as difficult to take in as the analogies I used in that last sentence..
And if I just used the word analogy in the wrong context, heck with it. Its 1am here right now and I cant be bothered to think properly.
Glad it wasn't an external hard drive they used for the problem though, as that'd just be more money on top of it. A free update that opens up all this VC potential is much more favourable in my eyes!

Fatal Frame stopped being scary for me towards the end of the second game though, so I don't see myself getting pumped for IV unless it proves itself to be completely terrifying.
And the Wii is still good to me, if only for the fact that I haven't beaten 80% of the games I own. Besides Brawl, Mario Galaxy and MP3, I have Zack and Wiki, Endless Ocean, No More Heroes, Okami, Super Metroid, Paper Mario, Sin and Punishment and SMB3 to finish up.
But I still love the idea of the Wii, and probably look more forward to a more powerful Wii so the pointing controls won't lag as much as they do in some games.

@Jonathan,
Did you and I just both do a 180 degree spins? It's like we'll never be on the same side of the fence.
That or we're dancing. ("Say... Do any of you know how to Madison?")

@Haxan,
Get your damn Rocky Horror Picture Show references out of my blog..
@Nilcam,
Yep. So long as it's already installed you're safe. Just don't try moving it off of yoursystem memory, you won't be able to get it back on until the haxorz do their magic funky. Sadly I had to take mine out. I've got to send my Wii in to get it fixed at some point. It turns out that the Wii has an equivalent to the red-ring and I have it. But that's another blog.
Pro-tip: Turn WiiConnect24 off right this instant.

@ Haxan- I think we're on the same side of the fence, just with slightly different perspectives from said fence. I'm also quite pleased with being able to play games from SD card. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd play Onslaucht, Snowboard Riot, Sin and Punishment, Star Fox 64, and Bit.Trip Beat all in the same hour.
Pretty awesome stuff!
@ Nilcam- As long as you already have the Homebrew Channel and Gecko OS on your Wii, and you never attempt to remove them, you should be fine.
Pedrovay2003 taught me that.

I'm kind of used to that abusive relationship by now. But now I wanna get some more virtual games.
Also, fucking awesome score on that NES.

@Pedro,
Not quite kill it, but make it not look so pretty (or prettier, depending on how you like your dancing pixels). I'm going to call up NoA tomorrow and get my Wii sorted out and ask for comments. I'll have a blog up come Saturday with my results.
Until then, turn off WiiConnect24 just to be on the safe side!

Holy crap, that sucks... I just turned it off. Thanks for the heads-up.
I really hope they don't give you crap about what's going on... If you need to, use the Save Extractor and Save Restorer things in Homebrew to back your saves up (like Smash and whatnot, the ones that can't be backed up).

Yes...! Nintendo has made accommodations what fans and gamers have wanted for a long time now. And, I'm playing the Wii again!
The system update, in addition to the arcade games has helped alot. But, I must give Sega some of the credit for putting some really good games out lately too.
