If 600mA is the same as 60 Watt, I would rather buy a new stepdown-converter with at least 100 Watt (as that is recommended).
I have a 600mA stepdown-converter for my US-GameCube myself, but I'm waiting for my 500 Watt stepdown-converter to arrive, as I don't want to take any chances.
The Wii is actually rated at 45W, which is written on the machine itself. I've been using a 50W step down fine, but obviously higher is better as 50 is on the limit.
The stepdown - it's under powered, the Wii will draw more power than the stepdown is able to provide, the coils on the transformer inside will get really hot, and we get critical mass.
( actually it'll probably just burnout and become unusable, either way I'd not use a 30 Watt stepdown on the Wii ).
GC draws about 30 watts, which is plenty fine for a 60 watt stepdown. Papercut mentioned above that the Wii draws 45 watts, elsewhere it's been mentioned it draws 58 Watts.
If it's 45, you'll probably get away with a 60 Watt stepdown, but a 30 watt won't hack it.
