There is no way for the Nintendo channel game play records to be transfered to the black wii if I were to buy one? I refuse to restart Mario RPG after playing it for twenty hours along with all my other games ranging up to 6-18 hours each.
Why worry about the time log on the Nintendo Channel? It's not like you have to start over, just copy your save over and pick up where you left off. Why would Nintendo Channel Time Log matter?
I am also worried about the glossy finish which would show too many finger prints and smudges. I wish Nintendo had released this thing in a matte finish like they did with the DSi.
I never understood this complaint. How many people tape their wiimote to their wii so that they can get fingerprints all over their Wii? I set my Wii near teh TV and don't have to touch it again unless I'm changing disc.... and even then there wouldn't be any finger prints. How are you handling your Wii?
If Nintendo is not interested in allowing us to transfer our VC titles to the new wii, I would be open to shipping my white wii to them and allow them to transplant my wii's internal components into a black shell. However, something like this would cut into their profits and I do not see them implementing it any time soon. It would be good for some one like me though.
Transferring of VC and Online Game Saves are the only legitimate (vs superficial or stupid) complaints on upgrading in my opinion. Nintendo really better get that sorted out before they release the 3DS because that is where the first big problem is gonna arise(DSiWare --> to 3DSWare).
BnM, do you not remember me posting pictures of my wii with stickers that made it look like an NES? If I were to buy a black wii, I would just put the same stickers onto it as I did with my white wii. I just prefer a matte finish over a glossy one. It seems to me that glossy surfaces contract alot of dust and lint and other stuff faster than a matte surface.
As for nintendo allowing you to transfer your downloaded titles over to a new sysyem, I do not see them doing any thing bout it, honestly. I mean they will claim that the games are so cheap that you can just buy them again, but they are not that cheap. I think Nintendo is too paranoid to allow some thing like this to happen it is really going to hurt them when the 3DS come out. I am not interested in pirating their software as long as they give me what I want, which is the ability to transfer downloaded games to other consoles.
