Soon you can see a whole new look of Wii, this new colorful hardware adds to your gaming interest. Nintendo guys really are creative people, first the Wii controller & now this hats off to them. The hardware anyhow remains the same, only the looks will change.
Just imagine what if you mod it a bit (using cool stickers or sticking your favorite game character), how cool it looks. Hope this increases their sales again, though not a huge way but to some extent.

It is now possible to dump an image of any Nintendo Wii game onto a PC hard disk drive. The method isn't exactly ready to go mainstream though. According to a forum post on Wii Newz, a specific line of LG DVD-ROM drives are required along with the program DVDInfo.
What’s so damn special about these LG drives? Supposedly, the LG DVD-ROM drives share similar hardware with the optical drive found in the Wii. Using debug commands available in the DVDInfo software, it is possible to read the special game discs. Ok. I got the drive and the software. Now what? That's great, but you'll have to be patient. Over fifty hours to create one game image awaits you.
