    3. What exactly is a memory card? Is it a USB flash drive? Does not have to be Nintendo brand?

    4. Nunchuck in which hand? Remote in which?

    I think that is it for now. I truly appreciate guidance. Thanks!
    1) It can do either, it comes with a vertical stand out of the box.

    2) You need to buy an adapter to use an ethernet connection

    3) It comes with 512MB of built in flash, but you can get an additional 2GB using SD card memory

    4) It can be either hand for each, when setting up your Mii you can choose if you're left or right handed. The wiimote goes in your dominant hand and the nunchuck goes in the other. Some games, like Zelda, might require a certain hand for each.

      HOO-RAY 'PAPER MARIO'!

      Now we need SMB3...
      My thoughts exactly!

      After SMB3, I'm not sure what game I will be wishing to get because that covers about all of them. I know I would get Contra and Double Dragon, so I guess those will be my next most eagerly awaited games. I wouldn't be against Skate or Die making it to the VC. I'd probably grab Yoshi's Island too.

        I forgot about Double Dragon. I loved that game. How bout Battletoads too while we are at it?

          Last question, how big are the VC games? How quickly does the internal memory fill up?

            They vary depending on what system they are ported from (NES, SNES, N64, etc). They probably vary from game to game as well. But I have downloaded 15 VC games and have about 8 Wii games worth of saves all on my internal memory. So there is no rush for you to run out and get an SD card. My advice is just keep a look out for some deals on SD cards and grab one then for the future. I have a 2GB SD card in my Wii that I have never used for the Wii, I only got it because there used to be a deal to get one for $2 after rebates at TigerDirect.com.

                  I have the Psyclone cables they sell at Walmart. They work very well.

                  On another note, I NEED Baseball Stars, RBI Baseball, or Bases Loaded.

                      How much are the Psyclones at Walmart?

                      I could not wait for monoprice so I bought the cheapest at Best Buy for $25.

                        $20-25 I think...maybe a bit cheaper?

                            finally got my Wii connected after 2 days. I went to EBgames, Target, and Walmart looking for component cables and came up empty. I'll order some on Best Buy online and pick up in the store. I went ahead and used the composite cables and just used the jack on the front of my tv for now.

                              Dumb question......How do you find out your WEP security password/key if you don't remember it? My Wii is picking up my access point but I don't know the password. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
