wii connect 24

[-null-]

I'm minding my own buisness when I glance over to where my (new) Wii is and I find the CD drive glowing because of this WiiConnect24 thing.

So what exactly is it downloading and should I leave it on or switch it off.

It's not downloading anything I don't think, it stays on to show it's connected to your router - if the blue glow is annoying you then you can switch it off in the settings and you can tell when the wii is connected to your router or not by seeing what colour the standby light is:

If it's red, that means wii is off, not connected to anything.

If it's orange, that means it is connected to your router

and finally if it's green that means the wii is on

I leave mine connected to the router because it does updates and stuff automatically, if you do it manually it can take the piss sometimes, takes ages!

Also just in case anyones interested Nintendo will supply you with up to 4 Wii mote jackets FOC

The Wii Remote Jacket, a durable, silicone cover for the Wii Remote, provides a variety of benefits for the player. Nintendo will include the Wii Remote Jacket with all Wii hardware systems and with all Wii Remotes sold separately or packaged with Wii Play. Hardware featuring the Wii Remote Jacket will begin shipping to retailers from October 2, 2007 and is expected to be on retail shelves from mid-October, 2007.

The Wii Remote Jacket provides a cushioning effect if the Wii Remote accidentally strikes a person or object or is accidentally dropped or thrown. Use of the Wii Remote Jacket is meant to supplement, not replace, the basic gameplay instructions: keep a firm grip, don’t let go of the controller, use the wrist strap and make sure your play area is free of people or objects.

The Wii Remote Jacket also serves as a cover for the Wii Remote, and has been designed to be added and removed easily, in case users want to slip their Wii Remote into an accessory like the upcoming Wii Zapper. Nintendo recommends players use the new Wii Remote Jacket as a cushiony shield, though the current Wii Remote is a safe product when used properly.

Current Wii owners who want to equip their Wii Remotes with the new Wii Remote Jacket free of charge can click here to fill out the request form.

If the cd drive is glowing blue, I think that means that you have received a message from a friend. Which can be a bit annoying when the Wii is in my room and it glows blue in the middle of the night! But I'm not turning it off, makes me feel popular!

Yeah I got one of them with it. I think its actually quite useful since it gives you something to grip onto when your hands get sweaty.
