I didn't make it. I just thought it would be cool for those interested in having it. I do agree though.

The fact that you guys would even like on of these is quite sad :p

Time to go and out and feel the real world i think ;) :D :D


Seriously though - do people over the age of 12 actually use these things?

I really hope you're not asking about a U.S. version. That's what this whole thread is about. Check the first post there, Einstein.

As for the widget, it does look pretty darn crappy, but it'll be on my Dashboard until a better-looking one comes out.

Navigate to \Users\username\Library\Widgets, control-click on Wii.wdgt, choose Show Package Contents. Change the default.png to whatever picture you like. Edit the source of wii.html and and change the date on the following line to your region's release date.

later = new Date("Dec 8 2006 18:00:01");

There you go, everyone's happy!!
