Just curious if this is a gimmick or really necessary. Thanks for your help!!

I'm really curious too! There has been several posts about WiiConnect24 possibly causing heat damage. I use the vertical stand except for when I travel.
One time I played all day at a friends house and by the end of the day I found that I sat my Wii on top of a VCR which was hot! I didn't know VCRs could get so hot. My Wii was horizontal on that trip.
i would say it was neccasary if the room u play the wii in is hot.
Generally speaking no, unless you live in the Equator.
what about what Ms. Idjut says about wiiconnect24. I have heard alot of negative things about this too. I am getting my Wii in a few days and I want to know as much as possible. Any of you have problems with wiiconnect24 or it overheating?

buy a cooler if you feel like it but i've never ever had my wii get anything more than slightly warm. i guess if you're in Cuba and playing it outside in the sun then yeah you'd need a wii cooler but aside from that i can't see a need for one.
and to answer the other question, i have not had a problem with WiiConnect24 at all yet. it disconnected on me once but i think that was an internet issue not an issue with the wii itself.

Its really not necessary, even with WiiConnect24 on.
It never gets that hot, and ultimately is just another thing for consumer's to throw cash out. I would advise opting out of the cooler, unless you get it for free. Free is always good![]()

only time i turn it off actually is when i'm done playing a gamecube game and that's only because i have to.
