Nintendo has stated that more color variations of the Wii will be available next year, but for the time being, in order to keep retail numbers up, Nintendo is sticking with just the white color. As for a good HDTV, I bought one of the white Samsung 32" LCD HDTVs the other day and it's a beauty. Samsung and Sharp both offer outstanding LCD HDTVs that offer 16x9 widescreen. Shop around and you can generally find a good deal online.

Aside from Super Mario Galaxy, is Nintendo planning any other Mario titles?

Well there's Super Paper Mario that was moved over from the Gamecube, as well as a rumored Mario Golf title from Camelot. I'm sure there will be no lack of Mario titles on the Wii, but Super Mario Galaxy would have to be the main game most fans are looking forward to at the moment.

What would a good size memory card be for the Wii? Should I go really big if I plan to download alot of old games or if I just plan on playing the new games and saving my progress should I go with a smaller memory card? Also, will I be able to save downloaded games to the memory card and transport it to another Wii and use it there?

I'll probably get a 2GB card, but even though I plan to download a LOT of Virtual Console games, 2GB still might be a little bit of overkill. : )

I keep seeing pictures of the Conroller with different attachments. Will it have the ability to use it like a gun?(special holder that controller fits in?) What will the capabilities of the controller be?

Nintendo has shown the "Zapper" attachment at some of the trade shows in which the Wii Remote is placed inside the Gun shell. I'm sure we'll see more "shells" at different points, depending on which companies want to make use of them. There was a picture of a plastic Link's Sword attachment shell on Play-Asia's web site a few months ago, but I haven't seen or read anymore about it lately. I'll do some more looking around and post anything I can find on it.

I seriously doubt that, especially given that the downloaded games will likely be tied to your console or the serial number. With copy potection, I just can't see that being an option. Can you see it now - all of these SD memory cards on ebay just chock full of downloaded VC games for sale, at a bargain price of course. : )

Do you think it will be possible to use USB flash drives instead of the memory card?

While that's certainly possible, it will all depend on getting the proper drivers onto the Wii in order to make those different brands of USB Flash Drives functional. There's still so much about the Wii we don't know yet, even just 3 weeks away from launch.

So if I don't have a wireless router, I'm going to have to buy the lan adapter, is that correct? I have a regular Linksys router that has 4 ports, but it's not wireless. Thanks.

Yes, you'll need the USB LAN Adapter that plugs into the USB port on the back of the Wii system. I've decided to get the USB LAN Adapter myself, since I already have a router that I use with my laptop and Xbox 360.

Hi,
One thing this faq doesn't seem to answer (nor anywhere I've looked) and I'm desperate to know - does the supplied power supply support 110 to 230v like the iPod power supply, for example? Or, is the unit supplied with a power supply local to each region - as in, the UK takes 230v only whilst the US takes 110v?
I ask because I get my Wii in the UK and then I'm off to the Caribbean where it's 110v. All my iPod charger needs to work is a simple plug adapter, and I'm hoping this would be the same for the wii too.
Thanks,
Alex

Yes, the downloaded classic games are on their own Wii channel, which is basically a menu system to organize everything. It's very intuitive and easy to navigate.
As for the power adapter, most power adapters are no auto-switch as far as current goes, but Nintendo is barely releasing any specs on the Wii AT ALL, let alone something that specific, but I'll try to find out if I can.
