Update: I decided to test the Wii last night and pay attention to how hot it gets. The fans are functioning properly. I played Zelda for 4 hours straight and the Wii didn't get hot at all. Only after I put it on standby , then it started to get hot starting from the top (I have it in the horizontal position) near where you plug in the ac adapter and then the whole bottom was hot too. I think it might be because the fans are off during standby which causes the heat to build up. But I dont know why its only mine thats experiencing that. The good thing is that my Wii is still working and playing games lol. I also tried linking my nintendo account on my friends wii , but it didn't work. It seems that everything you download from the wii channel including the history is stored in the individual wii. I am debating whether to screw the $20 I spent on the virtual games and just go to TRU and replace it for another one instead of waiting 2-3 weeks wiiless and end up getting my wii just "repaired" and not replaced. I also told my friend to test his wii in the horizontal position and in standby and see if it also gets hot like mine does.
if it makes you feel any better, you can tell youre a guy in the pic....you have little or no feminine features about you (not that that is an insult!)
but IM a girl not a guy! and yes, that is me and my gun as an avatar so QUIT askin! hahaha

My Wii stays on standby all day and it's not unusually hot as far as consoles go. it's a little warm but nothing scorching. No blisters on my hands and I can handle the bottom with my bare hands.
A little warm but nothing serious in short

Ok, my Wii gets dangeroulsy hot on standby mode also. I heard in a diffrent forums that the Wii is using the same amount of power and doing about the same thing but in standby the fans are not functionall thus the Wii gets hot. However I put my Wii on one of those cooling stations and when it's on standby mode. It dosent get as hot. Still, be careful with your Wii.
