    Yes you can.

    It takes any card that can use an SD card adapter and the downloadable games are tiny so space isn't an issue.

    Yeah and I'd recommend it, having moved my wii about a bit (and accidentally having the controller's buttons sitting against things) I've had a few batteries die on me during games.

    Like was said before the game downloads are tiny, and 2Gb SD cards are fairly cheap nowadays.

    Yep, I played my mates wii on boxing day and its just great. The wireless controlling of games is really suburb, its amazingly accurate. I was pretty sure I would get one but after playing wii sports/wii play I'm definitely going to get one. The great thing about the wii is that is an extremely convenient package to take round your mates and set up in 30 seconds flat. Its a great way to have good clean fun with friends and family. And when you playing the games against other people it doesn't feel like a competition, its just fun to use.

    It can take standard; mini; and micro SD cards.

    Downloads are indeed small - I've got a Standard SD 2GB card (£18 amazon) in there with loads of pics and MP3s for the Wii screensaver function (which my kids love having on in the living room). Downloaded a few things, including Opera, and it still has plenty of room.

    Yes it really is that good - had it for a week (thank you amazon.de), and even got my "I hate consoles" wife hooked on Wii Tennis, and my two kids have gone loopy over the Wii Mii function.

    Of the two of my mates that have played it, one has never bought a console, one hasn't bought one since his Neo Geo, both have ordered one on the strength of one days playing each.

    Superb! I'd 100% trust a company who employs someone to guerilla advertise on forums and then not even be able to get it right!

    Well done!

    Here's a few hints and tips:

    1) Include the company name and, preferably, an e-mail address. (It makes banning your IP so much easier)
    2) Supply at least 3 phone numbers, all international because people really hate dealing with retailers in their own country.
    3) Slap in a dirty great list of other products you sell, such as mobile phones, Xbox 360s and PS3s, all at unbelievable bargain prices.
    4) Put all your prices in US dollars.
    5) Offer up payment options that include Western Union Money Transfer.
    6) Post your thread in completely unrelated threads, such as this one. Others you might want to try would be the Hotpot, General discussion and Welcome to HEXUS.
    7) Wait for a ban.

    Hope this helps and happy spamming!

    (Oh, by the way, as you're new, I've taken the liberty of jumping straight to step 7, byeeee!)

    Yeah, me too. Got the sword and the shield, watched the whole 'light being' thing and had to turn it off, it was 4am!

    Only problem I have with Zelda is the utter lack of dialogue... yeah, I know its an easy way to make it multi-region but it feels a bit cheap seeing as Zelda is a AAA Wii launch title.

    That said, someone like DirectHex will LOVE the severe Japanese feel, look and style.

    To be fair I think Zelda and link are characters that I prefer not talking.

    Remember when sega made Sonic talk it outraged a lot of people because the voicing used shattered peoples perception of Him.
