Last night, I flipped on the Simpsons (Season 2, Disc 1, Episode: Simpson and Delilah) and just as I did so, my Wii Optical Disc Light lit up with that stunning bright distracting blue. I didn’t want the light on all night so I turned on the Wii and checked the message board.
Sure enough there was a message from Nintendo. Apparently there was a new Wii System Update available for the Check Mii Out. I clicked “Update” like the friendly message told me. So I try to go to the Check Mii Out Channel after that and I get this message:
So, I go to the Wii Shop Channel and download the newest version. I go back to the Check Mii Out Channel and get turned away again with the same message. I tried doing another Wii System Update. That didn’t work.
Is this a widespread problem or am I going crazy? I’m pretty sure I’m going crazy.
(Please excuse the obscure Wayne’s World reference in the title.)

Check Mii Out, Mii, Wii
Before Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (or whatever that was called) came out, Metroid came out on Wii’s Virtual Console. Before Super Paper Mario came out, Paper Mario came out on Wii’s Virtual Console. Before Super Mario Galaxy came out, Super Mario Bros. 3 came out on Wii’s Virtual Console.
Now Nintendo Power magazine says it’s possible that N64′s Super Smash Bros. could come out before Brawl. I’ll be so overwhelmed in Mid-March going back and forth between the classic familiar Super Smash Bros. and the new exciting Super Smash Bros. Brawl! Heehee… Melee… caught in the middle… the overlooked middle child, if you will.

The nerve of those Nintendo geniuses! This Notice appeared on the official page this morning:
First they moved it from March 30, 2007, to December 3, 2007. Then from that to February 10, 2008. And now they’ve moved it to March 9th?!?
I understand wanting to perfect the game, but this is ridiculous. How much perfecting could they possibly have done if they were original going to release it nearly a year ago? Or how crappy was it a year ago?
I think this may be an early April’s Fool Joke. The Dojo started in late May last year, and it (should) end February 10. There’s no April in there, so I thought maybe they’re doing it now…
I always joked that they’d delay it again, but… boo hoo.
With all this delaying, there’s one thing I really hope they have: Miis as playable characters. They’ve been in some games: Wii Sports, Wii Fit. And they’re gonna be in more games: Wii Fit, Wii Music. There were only two Pikmin games and yet Olimar’s in there. Uploadable Miis would be the tops.
