There's a max to how many Miis you can have?

I don't think you can save Miis to an SD card.

I seem to recall that there's a way to transfer them to a wiimote, though. An option in the Mii channel, IIRC.

 Heh, that's awesome. All I have is one of myself, myself with a unibrow, and Dr. Zoidberg. I really have to get to work.

 Anyway, I guess the whole Mii thing is a bit off topic, my bad.

To anyone that bought a Wii at launch and has had their warranty expire, you can get a 90 day extension by registering your Wii on Nintendo's website. My warranty had expired before I registered my Wii, but I was still able to sign up for the extension and have it repaired no problem. If you bought one at launch mid-February is your last chance to get it repaired even with the warranty extension. Now is definitely the time to take care of any problems.

 Nintendo's customer service is absolutely excellent, and really takes the sting out of sending in your system for repairs.

I had the dots problem. I first noticed it in RE4 and then MP3. I kept putting off returning it, then just before the warranty ran out I decided to send it back (12 month warranty in Australia).

Posted it on a Monday and had it back in my hands the Wednesday of the following week.

Brand new console, All saves/Miis were transferred. I was very impressed with their service.

I think its really odd that they make you pay for the package to send the unit in, my one friend had the RRoD and the it only takes less then one week to get a new console once you phone MS its really fast. The PS3 is really fast too, i live pretty close to a Sony store that does the replacement units.

Question tho, how do you save Mii's to an SD card? I'm out of room for new ones and have been trying to figure that out.

 While I don't think you can copy them onto an SD card, if you want them backed up, you can copy them from the Wiimote to a PC using a blutooth adapter.



Hm, my Wii has worked flawlessly since launch, though my original Wiimote wouldn't perma-sync with the console.



I had a good experience with my DS problem. Nintendo representative are very friendly and they don't talk like they're pushing you away kind of talk. Only company ever here in the US so far that I came in contact with.

I posted awhile ago about my Wii issues. I'll quickly go over them again.

I purchased my Wii in December of 06. After a few weeks it started to make some really bad whirring noises. I ignored them and eventually they became louder than the sounds from the games I was playing. I ignored it further until I started getting disc errors. So I sent it away in March after about 3 months of listening to its crap.

Nintendo's repair services are EFFING GREAT. Not only was EVERYTHING FREE, but they send you a replacement Wii first, you put your old Wii in, they take a CC # incase you don't send the other back, and you send your broken one back. Was great.... Or was it?

My replacement Wii ALSO had to be replaced. The disc drive wouldn't accept or eject discs. I was sad. In fact, the CSR said this was the FIRST time he EVER heard of this happening. So my replacement needed a replacement, got my NEW Wii in another box, took my CC #, sent the other one back, and my new one worked perfectly. Thank God I never had any VC stuff because that would've been a bitch to deal with.

Whole ordeal, I was without a Wii for about 10 days. I paid nothing, and also got a 1 year warranty on the replacement Wii, with the same FREE services. Nintendo does a GREAT job.


Actually the VC stuff is ridiculously easy to deal with if you linked your my nintendo account. It took me like 10 seconds to sort out with the tech(literally) The call went like this "Hi robert can you turn your wii on for me and do this" "okay done" "Alright now check it" "wow that's it thanks" finer details left out on purpose but thats basically it. Nintendo CS is top notch, Sony is decent to deal with but with Microsoft I held on the phone for 2 hours(not exaggerating the situation ; ;) Nintendo repaired my new Zelda DS lite when my mother ended up trying to do me a favor and put a screen protector on it(that was my christmas present) and ruined it by putting the casing with glue on it and getting it stuck to the DS screen air bubbles and all... Nintendo fixed it for free inside of a week.
