Anyone who gets as geeky and hyped about new products as me usually likes to check out the manuals before the product arrives...

Very interesting. I learned that users without a wireless router can use the USB dongle just like with the DS, nice. Now there's no excuse not to let your Mii mingle!

If the Wii System Memory is full, you can save data to an SD Card.

NOTE: Saving photos or data from your Wii console to an SD Card may require a broadband Internet connection.

Odd, i guess some DRM thing is going on... may explain why in the Kotaku vids it takes soooo long to move a channel (VC game) to a SD card.

Excellent, thanks. These may come in useful as I'm receiving a Jap machine.

It explains a lot about connecting online, very valuable info.

Now i should be able to fudge a connection to get the update to allow sd cards to back up wii save date.

a lot of good stuff in there that i wouldnt have known. it also shows language options...english/french/spanish. would be handy if the japanese console has english too.

I'm slightly worried about the sensor bar. It has to be near the TV, as in directly underneath or on top? I sit around 12 feet away from my wall and there's no way the sensor will reach that far, there's also no chance I'm sitting between 3 and 8 feet away from my display either, I'll be blinded after 20mins. ><

Hopefully it'll work sat on my coffee table directly in front of me 8ft away from the wall...
