My little brothers' Wii stopped reading discs, I shipped it to Nintendo and they told me that fixing it would cost about 100 since it was out of warranty. Fine, it costs something because it's out of warranty, but that's little bit too much for fixing an old machine. So, I told them to ship the machine back and I bought a new Wii for 182,30.
I started transferring game saves from old machine to the new, and got this message
"You must first play this game on your Wii Console to move save data" http://files.myopera.com/Leevi/errors/mustplay.jpg
_ really, I have to play every bloody game before I can transfer the saves, what a waste of time, you have to jump through some hoops to get it done, but you can still do it.
Except you can't transfer some saves http://files.myopera.com/Leevi/errors/cannotbemoved.jpg
If I would like to have those game saves transferred, I would have to send both machines to Nintendo. That is not very (eco)logical and there is absolutely no reason to do this, if Nintendo would be a nice company they would just update Wii software so people could do the transfers themselves.

In some cases some healthy paranoia is good.
