The Wii feels like such a buggy console to me

[quote name='spoo']I am also having some problems with my Wii that I just got today. I have been in an endless checking internet loop (I even had to unplug it after 30 min because it wouldn't shut off in the loop), won't detect remote movements on a fresh boot twice and a few other minor bugs.[/quote]
Change your wireless router to channel 1 or 11. That should fix any internet hangups.

Hmm... might be a defective system. I haven't had any of those problems, besides the Internet freezing up once or twice.

Let me add to this:

Wii Sports: I know plenty of people can't throw straight in bowling! You aren't alone, and to tell you the truth, it's because... well... you suck...
# You could say the Wii Remote is sensitive, but it definitely reads the slightest turns in your hand. This was so that you can add spin. I have friends that can turn it right, turn it left, or go straight on. We even did an experiment where we did a granny throw and got it straight on. Learn to control the spin and possibly move your Mii to the left or right to compensate.[/quote]
If you dont like the natural spin you add release the ball at a higher point in the forward arc... this will allow the ball less time to develop a spin and therefore go straighter for you. If you actaully bend at the knees a little and let it down earlier in the arc the ball will have more ground time and more time to develope its spin.
[quote name='imacgod']Golf has its issues when I putt. Otherwise, it's reading my movements pretty well. And as someone mentioned, boxing may be just buggy, which it seems.[/quote]
I find that using it like a fishing pole will help with the putting instead of actually swinging like a club * this is while putting only*.
[quote name='imacgod']
Excite Truck: The very first time I played it and the every first time I played a Wii, I felt the steering wasn't all that great. But I got used to it. It definitely wasn't meant to be a simulator and it does end up working out. In fact, when I was first playing, it was probably because I made lots of sporadic moves.[/quote]
As the poster above said have the wiimote either face up or buttons facing you. Tilt it lightly and it turns just like it should. Also as mentioned if you turn it past 90 degress one way it will not repsond or respond and actually move the car the opposite way.

I noticed I make the ball spin to the left every time in WII bowling, but my GF can make the ball go straight nearly every time, tried changing controllers and it was the same deal. Weird eh?
WEll you could have a bum console/controller.
But I have to say WiiSports and Excite Truck work just fine for me. That includes boxing and golf.
YOu have to learn the nuances of the games. And with the Wii you have another whole level to the control. YOu have to learn movement and speed as well as button presses.

The one buggy thing on my Wii is its occasional difficulty reading discs when first inserted. Seems like it takes a long time for it to read the disc. Sometimes I get an error or it spits the disc back out (which can be embarrassing when I'm trying to show guests how awesome the system is). Once it froze the system. After a couple reinsertions, usually accompanied by blowing on the disc (old habits die hard), it works.
Seems like 80% of folks have laggy WiFi connections simply because their router is set to the wrong channel. Nintendo should seriously consider sending out a Wiimail explaining to people that they need to change this setting and how to do it (because I'm getting tired of explaining it myself). After I did it, updates that used to take an hour to download now take 2 minutes (including the News Channel update last week) and the Virtual Console loads almost instantaneously.

I have some input on Wii Bowling's spin.
It has little to do with how you turn your wii-mote and all that. It actually has A LOT to do with how early or late you release the ball. If you release early (but not so early that the Mii tosses the ball backwards), the ball has big sharp hook to it. If you release at the top of your Mii's toss, it spins in place and does not hook to the right or left.
I've even tried turning my wrist to the right and releasing early and it will still hook left. It all depends on the situation of pins down the lane. If there is one pin left and for example is the third pin (the one behind the head pin to the right), the ball will hook to the right if you stand closer to the middle of the lane and will hook left if you are closer to the far right of the lane.
Anybody else discover this?

I didn't see this earlier. But yeah, I am trying to explain this same point.

I think you're a bit off.
What is true is that when you release late aka throw your ball, it won't spin that much. You get much better spin when you roll the ball aka release the ball when it's close to the ground. And the faster you throw it the less the spin too.
Your spin though is still controlled by twisting your wiimote.

Grrr I'm also having another issue with my Wii. Sometimes when I turn it on the screen will just go black not getting any picture. My TV will recognize a 480P signal but it will just be a black screen.
I know it isn't the TV because the Wii console won't turn off I have to unplug it to reset itx
Am I the only one with a bunk console?
