Funny this news should come up today, as it was one of the hot topics we discussed in depth on the latest podcast (before we started prank calling people). One of our top grievances with the Wii is how passively connected it is to the internet, and what little it does with it. For example, owners of Zelda: Twilight Princess that got stuck in the buggy cannon room don't have the ability to download a patch to immediately resolve the problem (as we did with Diablo II every other day, remember?). Don't even get me started on lack of online play, but we've raked them over the coals enough on that one.
Nintendo is, at the very least, being good about fixing the problem the old way: you can mail in your defective disks for a replacement. Here's how to go about it:
(1) Call Nintendo customer service: 1-800-255-3700
(2) Kindly explain your problem while heckling their failure to patch games. Get authorization to send in your old copy.
(3) Send just the game disc (no case, etc.) to the following address:
NINTENDO OF AMERICA
ATTN: CS ADMIN
4900 150TH AVE NE
REDMOND WA 98052-5171
And all is well in the merry land of Hyrule again. You can read up more testimonials of this process over on the official Nintendo Forums.

Seriously though, I rarely save in a Zelda game at all since you can't really get Game Over and lose progress. If I gave a shit about "flawless runs" or something, maybe I'd save, but I'm not that anal.
Can't wait to get a 360 and play fun games online. Hurry the fuck up Nintendo!
The affliction is called "bottle goggles" and it ends up screwing more heroes over than most people realize.
Instead, do what most heroes do, just go get yourself a fairy and when you're high off of Bomb Bags or drunk on red potions again, go let them take care of everything. The one drawback... Stay away from this one fairy named Navi. She'll go telling everyone everything to anyone that'll LISTEN. Her cousin Tingle is much more discreet.
But I know about the bug now, seems like a hassle to have to send it back
They should pass a law to only allow ONLY cute japanese girls to cosplay...
You can't "talk to him again".
While it's good of Nintendo to do this, it could've been solved with a simple update.
Why have WiiConnect24 if you're not going to use it?
I'm good
If nintendo wants to just send me one, then i'll send them mine after lol
I lol'ed
Even after I explained slowly to him that his cards weren't going to be worth shit, he refused to believe me.
Anyway, replacing the disk is a better way to go in my opinion, since not everyone has their console systems online.
Niero: "Raked them over the coals enough"? Has Dtoid gone soft on us?
I remember the Diablo II glitch. It had to do with that red portal that just never opened up so you got stuck in the arcane levels or something. I remember getting stuck and getting super pissed having to restart.
As for the Cannon glitch, you just have to be careful NOT to save in the cannon room.
