Nintendo Wii Tricks and Secrets
Mii Channel -- getting around
the 20 friend send limit
As you're already aware, it's very easy to waste many hours on the Mii Channel creating your
own little walking masterpieces. Once you've created the perfect Mii, the first thing you
probably want to do is send it to your friends.
But what if you have more than twenty people to send it to? What if you've made three or four
Miis and don't want anyone to have to wait. Luckily, there's a work-around for this annoyance.
The Wii keeps track of how many Miis you've sent in a given day via the console's internal
calendar...which can be changed.
To circumvent the Wii's Mii-sending limit, simply change the Wii's date to something wildly
different than the current date. Don't worry, this won't mess with anything internally and once
the change is in place, just send another 20 Miis before you'll be stopped again. You can send
another twenty Miis once the calendar is reset back to normal.
Wii Bowling change ball color
Don't like that default blue bowling ball you always get stuck with when playing a solo game of
Wii Bowling? Neither do I, so change it!
After selecting the Mii you want to use in the pre-game menus, a warning message will
display. (It's usually the one that warns you about hitting anything while you play.) At this time,
you can hold down one of the four D-Pad directions on the Wii remote and press the A
Button to change your ball color to something different.
D-Pad Left: Red ball
D-Pad Right: Gold ball
D-Pad Up: Blue ball
D-Pad Down: Green ball
When playing a multiplayer game with multiple controllers, each player can select their own
ball color. If you like the blue ball but aren't Player 1, holding Up on the pad will get you your
favorite color.

Wii Sports Baseball Pitching Tricks
As your skill level in Wii Sports Baseball increases, the pitch variety of the computer
opponents will increase dramatically. One of the things the computer does to throw off your
home run timing is to throw sidearm pitches instead of the traditional overhand. The
instruction manual doesn't tell you how to do this, so it seems like one less advantage you
have against the other team.
Well, here's the secret of the sidearm pitch. In addition to changing pitch types with
combinations of the A Button and B Trigger, the 1 and 2 Buttons allow you to change your
throw style on the fly. In the default overhand throw mode, hitting the 2 Button before flinging
the ball toward the plate will cause you to dip down and deliver a pitch from a lower angle.
You'll continue to throw balls this way until hitting the 1 Button to switch back to the regular
throwing style.
The different angle of the sidearm throw makes pitches behave differently. Picking up on
pitches is vital on knowing when to hold back or knowing when to swing for the fences, so
delivering them differently each time is crucial to defensive success. If you're having trouble
beating your friends from the mound, not better way to say "get off my plate" than to send
down some heat from down below!
Wii Virtual Console Secrets
The Wii Menu is the first thing you see when you boot up the system. The default layout of the
channels is alright if you don't plan on purchasing too many Virtual Console games, but if your
itch for classic games is too strong to resist scratching, you may find that you may not be
satisfied with how the channels are organized on the menu.
There's an oft-overlooked remedy to this problem. Holding down the A Button and B Trigger
while pointing at a channel screen will grab it for easy repositioning into an empty slot. This
allows you to arrange your Virtual Console library in the way that you want, or shift under-
used channels to a different page. Moving channels around also gives you the added benefit
of switching between them with the Plus/Minus buttons in the order of your choosing. There
are no restrictions on where you can place channels, other than the Disc Channel cannot be
moved from the upper-left corner on the first page.
The A+B dragging trick isn't just limited to the Wii Menu. Obviously, it's how you pick up Miis
in the Mii Plaza and Mii Parade areas of the Mii Channel. However, you can also use it to
spread out your messages on the Wii Message Board so that you don't accidentally open a
message you didn't want because it was laying on top of another one.

Wii Tennis Tricks
Tennis is always a good game to come back to when you've got friends to play it with. Too
bad there's only one court with which you can disperse the love. But wait, we've got an ace up
our sleeve! Do you know about the blue court you practice on in the Tennis Training Mode
games? There's a secret option to select it before starting a standard doubles match.
After picking Miis in the pre-game menus and arriving at the final warning screen, hold down
the 2 Button before advancing. Keep it held down until the black fades to reveal the blue
practice court on which you can play a regular doubles game. There's nothing particularly
special about the location, but at least it's different than what you're used to seeing.
For kicks, you can turn a single-player match into a one-person Pong-off by setting all four
player slots on the court to your own Mii. What better way is there to practice Tennis than to
play against yourself?
Wii Photo Channel Puzzle Tricks
The Wii Photo Channel is fairly useless. You can do all sorts of fun stuff with pictures on an
SD card, but you can't save any changes you make to them unless you post them to the Wii
Message Board and send them to yourself in an email message. The ability to create slide
shows set to an MP3 file is okay, but what fun is that?
One way to kill time in the Photo Channel is to break a photo into pieces and then try to put
the picture back together. To reach the Photo Channel's puzzle mode, you first need to select
the "Fun!" option when viewing a photo, then select Puzzle from the list of options. If you
haven't done a puzzle with the selected photo, you'll first need to do an easy six-piece test to
unlock the ability to select how many puzzle pieces you want to break the picture into.
Depending on the picture you use and the number of pieces you choose to jumble it up with, it
can be a genuine challenge to get the picture straight. The puzzle difficulty selection screen
will show that you can only do a 48-piece puzzle at most, but there's a secret to up the
difficulty to an insane level. If you hold down the 1 Button, the 48 box will change to 192. If
you select it while still holding the button down, your photo will turn into a mosaic of epic
proportions.
Photo puzzle mode doesn't work like a traditional slide puzzle, as you can drag any piece to
any location you want. The two chips will swap places with each other. Even with this change,
fixing a puzzle with that many tiny pieces is borderline ridiculous. You might want to try
something a little easier, but now you have the option to go crazy.
