I just set up my internet connection on my wii, (yeah, I'm slow). I'll get my number up tonight.

okay got it:

[Crump's Brother]

I should really update my list. I might be a few people behind.

[Tom the Cat]

I should really update my list. I might be a few people behind.

Ditto. I haven't even turned on my Wii in damn near a month.

[G.O.A.T.]

Mine's not really updating anybody since the initial 5 or so I entered.

[mr. donnie]

Add me bitches

[Crump's Brother]

Ok, my list is completely up to date. Last I checked I had ten of you folks in gray.

Edit: Damnit Isosceles Lock, you're killing me here. Ok ok...all updated again.

[Isosceles Lock]

just got my Wii the other day!

The number is 6040 2781 7237 4178

[Crump's Brother]

Ah...I see a couple of you have been updating your lists.

[G.O.A.T.]

My list has everyone in here, to date I have 5 of you blacked out...

I have 5 pages of grayed out people.. apparently no one likes me.

[bith]

apparently friend codes are worthless.

[Crump's Brother]

That's the word on the street. However, I enjoy a big Mii Parade. Think of it as your "Wii Size."

[Isosceles Lock]

alright, I think I should have everyone added now. I'll double check later, but for now I'll wait and see the Mii's add up.

[G.O.A.T.]

alright, I think I should have everyone added now. I'll double check later, but for now I'll wait and see the Mii's add up.

I'm at 129 with 6 friends. Also have like 40 or so created on my system.

To all - What's your "wii size"?

[Toilet of Sadness]

Wii size? Are you coming on to me?

[G.O.A.T.]

r u hot?

[Isosceles Lock]

I have my first name blackened in, congratulations Crump's Bro, you're my first friend! Although, I have no Mii's in my parade.

[Crump's Brother]

Ha! Metroid uses The WiiConnect24 list. Not only that, but it automatically checks for a saved Metroid game on people's machines so you know if they're playing it or not. Of course, the only thing you can do is send vouchers or some crap. Still...it shows that games can use the list if the devs make it that way. There's still the potential to not fuck this system up.

Oh, and because I just checked today, my Mii Parade is at 307.

[G.O.A.T.]

Anyone know what the vouchers are?

[Squire]

So I just got my Wii this last weekend. What all can you do with your Wii number?

[bith]

So I just got my Wii this last weekend. What all can you do with your Wii number?

you can get miis from friends and send them messages.

not much else

[Crump's Brother]

Yeah, as of right now they're pretty worthless. I keep hanging on to the idea that someday they'll really matter for something. Metroid uses the WiiConnect list, but just barely.

[daoist]

Yeah, typing in everyone's pain in the ass 16-digit number isn't worth the effort until we get some games that use the wii friend codes (as opposed to their own codes, which will need to be typed in, dammit)

[Crump's Brother]

I figure it's easier to type them in slowly as people get Wiis than it would be to put everyone's name in once a game comes out that does take advantage of the technology.

I hate to go back to Metroid as an example because it's not exactly what we want to see in terms on online capabilities, but it was nice to see two people on my list who already had Metroid saves listed and could receive vouchers from me.

[G.O.A.T.]

What happens to all the names I entered in that aren't black? Pretty shitty that only 6/31 people are all that have made the connection to my wii. Question becomes, will I have to re-enter these numbers to connect, or will they eventually do so?

[Crump's Brother]

If the names aren't black then either one of you has a typo or they never entered your name.

[Talenos]

yeah with the Wii you have to TELL the other person that you added them since they have to have added you as well. Not as easy as the xbox360 where you just need a one way connection.

[G.O.A.T.]

If the names aren't black then either one of you has a typo or they never entered your name.

Umm, so only 16% of the people on strangetalk have added everyone as of last March '07?

I added the late comers who said they have everyone and they aren't showing up in black...


Maybe the very first post should update the list... it's pretty far behind.

[daoist]

I don't see what the problem is. Why should I have a zillion people in my list that I don't really know? Why not let people pick and choose who they want to have on there?

I know typing in 30 or 40 16 digit numbers at roughly ~5 minutes each is a great way to spend a friday night indoors, but c'mon, some people have other shit to do.

Frankly, I haven't played anything on my wii in a couple months. I feel absolutely 0 pressure to power the thing on and spend an evening tapping numbers in so some complete strangers can see some black text instead of gray.

Sorry to be a dick about it, but i'm pretty sure this is what at least 25% of the people you see in gray are thinking. The other 75% of them probably haven't even looked at this thread in the past 9 months.

[Crump's Brother]

Sure you sound like a dick, but in that regard you are right. The last thing anyone should be doing is taking it personally when someone's name isn't in black.

[G.O.A.T.]

Way to goat me into a mini tirade. First off, if no one gives a shit about this thread, and no one checks it anymore, why the fuck is it still stickied? Let it thrive on its own or die.

I'm not taking it personally that 80%+ of the people I've added haven't connected to my system. What I am concerned about is that if someone has added me, why haven't I seen their name show up yet? I've been up to date with everyone, yet only 4-5 people on here are blacked out. I wanted to know if they have added me or not simply because I want to know if I have a problem with my system or set-up.

Why am I going to all this trouble now??? Because it has been speculated that smash bros will be online, and the release is this Dec. I would like to iron out all of the bugs before this happens so I can play some shit in the fall/winter online as soon as I pick it up. If the problem is with my system, then I'd like to get it replaced under warranty (which ends in a few months). When I tried playing Strikers online I found no one to play with during the rental period (and Nintendo is stupid for not including random matches, which I guess I should have looked into first).

I realize it's your "thing" to be a dick dao, but for shits sake, just answer the question with a simple yes/no.

[Talenos]

That's all we're saying is, if a name is gray, ask them if they will add you, don't just assume they enter every friend code they find into their system.

[G.O.A.T.]

You're talking like it's 1 or 2 people. There are people that have said their list is up to date (i.e. assuming they've added everyone... bad assumption?), yet they are still grey (like 25 others).

Mario Punch Out would be awesome. I've always wanted to beat the crap out of Princess Toadstool.

Come to think of it that's what I like best about mario kart 64...

[Invader Zen]

FYI after this last update you can plug a USB keyboard into the thing, tho I have not tested this to confirm Nintendo's claim.

[Crump's Brother]

Neither have I, but I am up to date again.

[LucasPukus]

So I am picking up our Wii in a few more weeks and it evidently seems like it will take a long time to enter the numbers from other people. Is there a faster way to do this?

[Talenos]

look two posts above you.

[LucasPukus]

This is what I found after googling for it.

The support is far from universal -- while you can use the keyboard to type out message board messages, you can't use it to enter a name for you Mii, suggest a poll question on the Everybody Votes Channel or, most importantly, fill in web addresses and forms on the Internet Channel. The Wii Shop Channel, oddly enough, does support the keyboard for typing in search terms, and it was the only channel to receive a significant overhaul in the latest system update.

I don't have a wii and have little experience with things that don't involve playing games on it. Does this mean that plugging in a keyboard WILL allow me to enter people's numbers on it or no?

All I have so far is RE4, Wii Sports and Wii Play. But when I get something that can go online, I'll start adding these numbers.

[Wycked]

Just picked up Metroid Prime 3. If anyone else has it and wants to do the friend voucher stuff sometime, let me know.

[Wycked]

Anyone? I've apparently picked up 3 friend voucher dealies and I wanna send 'em off!

[Crump's Brother]

I really need to finish Metroid. I kind of stopped playing a bit back. I'll jump in to my game tomorrow and see what vouchers I have in my save. I can send some your way if I have a few. Of course, I'd certainly accept some too.

[Wycked]

Sweet deal. I have 3 right now, and I'd like to spend a good chunk of my Monday or Tuesday off playing the game for longer than the short bursts I do now.

I just added your number to my address book. Mine again is 0281 2547 7256 3771.

Yeah, I checked this morning and saw you went black. I'll get things going today or tomorrow.

[Wycked]

Sweet deal. Too bad the Wii works the same way as the DS, with the friend codes and all, but eh. Whatever works.

[Wycked]

Yeah, I checked this morning and saw you went black. I'll get things going today or tomorrow.

You're also in the black for me. I sent 3 friend vouchers last night, I'll check up again later.

[Crump's Brother]

Go ahead and keep yours. Apparently I have something like 21 of those things right now. I'll just make sure I send some your way when I pick up a few.

[Wycked]

Shit. I don't think you can take them back, can you?

[mrchonkie]

i cleared out the posts in the xbox live gamertag thread, but it seems there is some sort of conversation going on in this thread, anyone object to me clearing this out so its a little cleaner?

[Crump's Brother]

No problems here.

[Talenos]

Anyone excited, no more individual game codes necessary!

[Crump's Brother]

Huh? Where'd you see that?

[Tom the Cat]

Yes, links plz.

[Talenos]

Oh, maybe that isn't public yet.
