Nintendo Wii Hints, Cheats, Tips & Tricks

Various Nintendo Wii games have their own Easter Eggs.  Easter eggs are tricks, cheats and hidden areas or functions within a program.

The following are some interesting “Easter Eggs” that are part of the Wii, WiiSports and the Wii Channel:

• Catch an evil cat in the Fun option (by pressing A and B) in Photo Channel that runs across the screen so you can get some tips
• A 194 piece puzzle can be created by holding down the 1 button before selecting any piece amount
• You can e-mail a JPG file to your Wii Message Board (around 1MB limit)
• In Wii Bowling, you can throw your ball into other people’s lanes
• If you put mp3s in your SD card along with your photos, you can change the background music during a slide show to one of your mp3s
• When the message board records your play time, if you don’t exit to the Wii Menu before you power off the machine, it records the play time as “other”. If you properly exit to the menu and then shut off it will record it as the correct game
• You can rearrange almost anything on the Wii…like the channels and messages by just holding the A and B
• The plasma burn in reduction kicks in the second the Wiimote shuts down.
• When you get an e-mail, not only does the disc drive light up and pulsate blue, but your Wiimote sends out a little chirp
• When you’re in the Mii channel and you don’t use the Wiimote for a little bit and your Mii’s start walking around, if you then suddenly use the Wiimote, all the Mii stop and follow the ‘hand’ for about 3 seconds
• When typing messages, and you need to go back and edit the message(while still typing) instead of deleting letters, just point to where you want to edit to move the type cursor.
• In Wii Sports Bowling, when you press up on the Directional Pad, it will zoom in on the lane. The zoom in sound is the exact same sound from Super Mario 64 any time you moved the camera.
• Co Op Jigsaw puzzles in Wii photos
• You can place the sensor bar upside down and it doesn’t reverse the directions of your movement
• In Wii Bowling, you can release on the back swing and throw the ball backwards. It scares all the Mii’s behind you
• Classic controller has analogue shoulder buttons. With the GC “click” at the bottom.

I hope you enjoyed that! Have fun!
