ori games are inflated because of piracy. just look at ps3. do u find ps3 games cheaper then wii games nowadays. i certainly do.

ps3 games
during release - rm190
3 months after release rm180
6 months after release (2nd hand) rm140
12 months after release (2nd hand) rm100

wii games
during release - rm185
3 months after release rm185
6 months after release rm185
12 months after release rm185

keep these games if u have any. Full list of games Nintendo of America has confirmed is no longer shipping:

•Battalion Wars ii
•Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree
•Donkey Kong Barrel Blast
•Endless Ocean
•Excitebots: Trick Racing
•Excite Truck
•Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
•Mario Strikers Charged
•Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
•Metroid Prime Trilogy
•New Play Control! Pikmin
•Wario Land: Shake It!
•Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
•Wii Fit
•Wii Music

I have a family too and i know exactly what u looking for. No need to look further than first party titles (although there lot of great 3rd party titles too). This is what nintendo does best:
1. Wii Sports resort (no to be mistaken with the Wii sports u have)
2. Mario Kart Wii
3. Wii play
4. Warioware smooth moves
5. New super mario bros Wii

Malaysia is a cetak rompak country. Just do your shopping here in LYN sale threads or Play-asia.com. It first feels different shopping this way (i felt the same way before), but u will get use to it.

i can only recommend u what my family have played:
1. Mario party 8 - my daughter of 6 yrs love it so much. For me was just ok. This was rented for 3 weeks, then rented again later on when she asked for it again.
2. Rayman Raving rabbids TV Party - We enjoyed it for a good 6 months. but then other games took priority (listed in my last post) until it is not played anymore, so i sold it.
3. Big Brains academy Wii - We loved this! its an old title, but it really is fun for the whole family. . It is also challenging for adults. best played in a group. Rented this for 3 weeks.

If u want to know what my family really plays most of the time: its Mario kart Wii. It has been more then 1 year since i bought that title, and we still play it. and i still play it! often!

I was staying in a 3rd world country that provide rental service for wii (philippines). therefore i didn't rent in malaysia. malaysia the cetak rompak country is hard to rent. i only seen rental for ps3 so far. i keep saying malaysia is 4th world country, and i really believe it whole heartedly.

back to the point. in malaysia, u can improvise. U research in youtube, forums, and game review sites. then u buy it. then if u don't like it u sell it. so the difference between the buy and sell price is your rental price. or just go with my list. family games is fun no matter what genre u choose. coz it is just fun playing together.

I looked up your error in nintendo site. It says no such error code.

Q: Have you ever manage to connect succesfully? Did u manage to update your firmware?

ok. i can confirm your connection to internet is ok, coz u have updated your firmware.
and since your connection is ok, u definitely can play online ( that is if u have have a game that supports online gaming)
so, the problem here is probably your wii shop. I don't have my wii with me otherwise i can try to simulate your problem and advice u in detail. but is is definitely related to the country you chose. Don't choose singapore, coz there is nothing to shop there. Choose "Brazil".

Can somebody help to simulate d problem and advice please.

boss, nak pirate tu, don't ask in public la. orang malaysia ni malu kalau dipanggil pencuri

lschong.
Seems like you have the same problem with me. Just follow the instruction within given by prime minister. The idea here is to setup all the ip addresses manually on the wii, and not request the router service (through DHCP) to determine it for u. note that this problem is router/ISP specific. i know this coz when i bring the wii to my parents house i don't have the same problem - I can just setup automaticallly through DHCP and everything works.

btw, set your country back to brazil. trust me, if you set country to USA, u won't be able to buy anything. u will only able to 'window shop'.

coz
1. u buy a game for 180rm, play once and immediately sell it off. u think u can sell it for 180rm?
2. if softmodded the cost is zero, only labor required
3. if hardmodded the chip is usually old and cheap
4. its 2nd hand. some of the stocks they use are really 2nd hand. as in used. who will find out? buyers don't expect it to be untampered, coz after all its modded.
5. it comes with issues (there is no such thing as a perfect mod), so should be cheaper lor for the hassles u will get later on.

if u don't get those korean transexual units, yes can revert. else can't revert. for the nonkorean modded wii, its very simple. just update through nintendo to the current version 4.2 firmware. 4.2 will remove everything foreign and u will get an unmodded wii again.

dragonfly, u r korek la. add that to d list. warranty is d important thing i forgot. and korean wii, i read somewhere (i like to read ma), that memang got problem with gamecube games. but i also read somewhere somebody did something and his korean wii can now play gamecube games. but i guess u can't believe everything on the net. and even if true is an exception.

yup. your question spark me to do more browsing. and i been hearing success stories so far. but all softmodding has a risk, and that includes unmodding. different modded wiis have different mod setup. so if u so happen to have a mod setup that is not 'mainstream', those sucess stories may not apply to u.

the korean wii in malaysia is modded. the korean wii sold in korea is not. not only its modded, it when through a language change. so is like a change sex operation.

a formal answer would be cannot. coz tukar jantina operations are difficult to undo. but my personal opinion - it is just software. and any software engineer will tell u that u can make software do anything - . it is a question of effort and complexity. but so far i haven't heard any success story. having said that, a hardcore modder will tell u don't unmod, instead press on and mod it somemore.

mostly softmodded (as in nearly all)

is there any difference in the quality? i have 3 us wiimotes, even that i notice quality difference. the newest wiimote the labels faded until tak nampak already, whereas the older ones still has clear labels. and for the nunchuck i have 1 japan and 1 us. and they work perfectly fine for 14 months.

all accessories coming from nintendo are 1st party accessories, no matter wich country it is from. other accessories other from nintendo are 3rd party accessories. they are not fake, they are just 3rd party.

so what makes it fake? fake means it carries the brand nintendo, but it is not made by nintendo. fake can come from any country. how to spot a fake? they usually have subtle differences. i think i remember reading a lyn thread on this. kindly do a search within the forum. keyword "FAKE"

if u buy from a reputable shop, it shouldn't be fake.

i found the fake link, its in the 1st page of this thread, and also here

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=939583

i don't know about kyo. his name looks fake. mana ada malaysian with this name. but i know his drum paddle i bought from him is not fake. hope that helps

brick means u can't even on the wii. the wii become a brick (bata).
semi brick means u cannot access your wii settings (the button at the bottom left of your wii main manu page)

so don't think u have encountered a bricked wii yet. but becareful. i hope the seller briefed u the don'ts for this brikable wii.

send back to where u bought it. demand they fix for u. and make sure they don't charge u maintenance fee. these r the hassles of modded wiis. but its fixable. but i m sure it won't be your last.

but if u cannot access your mii channel means u cannot create your profile. this is useful to most games that track your progress by your profile. seeing yourself improve is a very good motivation to keep playing the game. think this is very basic feature and should come default even for a modded wii.
