Looking for Wii owners
If you're the only one of your friends to be lucky enough to have a Wii in the living room, your Mii plaza may look a little bare. Not to fret, though -- potential Wii friends are only a few clicks away, thanks to MapWii.com. Within the next few months, we expect to see dozens of these sites, designed to trade those unwieldy Wii codes with likely friends, but MapWii.com is doing something others may not, and that's flagging Wii owners by location. Looking for people in the Netherlands, for instance? Here you go.
It's an interesting site just to surf, and it's been optimized for use with the Wii browser, but we half wish it wasn't necessary. Fanboys we may be, but that doesn't mean we blindly love everything Nintendo does, and Ninty's online systems sometimes want to make us bang our faces into the desk. But it could be worse ... we're just happy, in the end, to be online at all!
