thanks for this. has been bookmarked

Give your wii a memorable email address:

1) Open up a gmail account (for example: Gilswii@gmail.com)
2) Send an email from your wii to the gmail account
3) When you receive the email in gmail, reply to it to confirm the account
4) Make a note of the "from" address. This is your wii's unique email address
5) In gmail settings, enable POP forwarding
6) Set up a filter to forward all email sent to the email address (for example: Gilswii@gmail.com) to your wii's email address that you made a note of in step 4.

Et voilla! Just give people the gmail address, and every email they send you will appear on your Wii!

Wow!! thank you for the info thisisgil!!

Will try this!

I can't get #4 to work properly. The console light will only pulsate blue until I switch it on. Even if I don't read the message and turn the console off, the light doesn't come on until I get another new message.

Also, #29 is a mystery to me since I've never heard it chirp either.

Any reason why these could be so? I'm using V2.0E on my Wii. Whilst I'm posting anyway, feel free to add me to your Wii friends. Just let me know somehow...

Its with double r its ZORRILLA

I'm not sure if this'll go here, and some of these are kinda obvious but:

Wii Sports - Baseball, Pitching.

1. When pitching, if you hold down the A button and throw the ball, you can flick your wrist clockwise-anticlockwise to put a screwball onto the throw.

2. If you hold the D-Pad in any direction when throwing the ball, you 'lean' the throw in that direction.

3. There's a different effect I can't remember at the moment, but holding the B button while pitching alters your throw further.

4. If you're throwing the ball, sometimes when you use the above methods, either individually or combined, the ball might tap the floor before it reaches the batter or catcher, in which case the term "Ball" will appear on screen and you need to pitch again.

^ Those could probably all fit into one # though.

You know, I tried to sign up with gmail, but they haven't sent me the text invitation code... and all I can seem to do is request another invitation code or swim through the help center which as usual is a complete waste of time.

Nevermind, I used my girlfriend's cellphone...

Hey if anyone feels like e-mailing me, wiihelp@gmail.com

Thanks for the suggestion Gil.

But will the spam still ONLY go to the gmail spam filter? or will that get through too?... Cos, i get rather a few embarresing spam messages

Well done you stated exactly what it says when you first play.

Good god.

About the Ball thing, Ball appears if the pitcher does a bad throw and the hitter lets it past.

Those are just common sense, not tips AT ALL.

I figured out a way to increase the number of colors available in the Picture Channel of the Wii. Just put a color palette in the picture, but rather then just telling everyone about it, I figured I could make it for you so all you have to do is download the picture and send it to your Wii. (either via your SDcard or e-mail).

I started a new thread for it, because I figured we can all share the drawings we make with it.

here's the link to the thread.

When viewing a picture if you press up or down a circle of blur appears.

That's because it's one of the rules of baseball, it has nothing to do with Wii Sports. If you throw a pitch outside of the strike zone and the batter doesn't swing, it's a ball.

I've been playing tennis off and on the past couple of weeks, totalling probably around 10 hours. I've found a pretty consistent way to beat the top players (Elisa at 2000 and Sarah at 1900). Here are a few things to keep in mind (at least that's the approach for me anyway):

1. You'll win over 95% of your points with your net player, not your baseline player. Your baseline player though will be important in setting up the point so that your net player can hit the winner.

2. Use your baseline player to control the ball and make the computer's baseline player move back and forth consistently. To do this, you'll need to learn to control the ball and use various techniques such as heavy top spin cross court shots to push the other player out of the court.

3. It will seem that the computer opponents will get everything back, after all Elisa is rated at 2000. However, keep up the pace and you'll see both computer opponents begin to sweat. This is when they'll slow down and start missing some shots and won't run as fast.

4. Don't be too anxious to hit a winner. Make the computer opponents work before trying the winner with your net player.

I use the approach above and can beat Elisa and Sarah 3 out of 4 times. Once a while, I would have a bad game by being too anxious to put away points and hit the balls out. The technique used here is actually quite similar to playing doubles tennis in real life. In most cases, your baseline player has to set up the point for your net player to win. One difference though is that I can't make both my players go to the net in Wii like I would in real life.

At this time, I'm rated at 1900. It seems though that Elisa and Sarah are the final computer opponents since they are all that I play against. Perhaps once I've passed 2000 I'll see someone new.

BTW, does anyone know how to hit a power overhead? It sucks that when the computer opponents throws a short lob and I can’t put it away with a power hit.

Have fun!

Double post.

yea you have to turn the hand thing in some of the games too... so it isnt much of a secret and most stumble on it accidentally but its still nice to know =]

I don't know if other people knew this, but when typing a message to a friend, if you click the button above the backspace, (I think it looks like an eject button) it'll open up a bar across the top that will guess what word you're typing. Just click the word if you see it up there and it fills it in for you.
