[@auto1lija]

The black Wii with the Japanese case could actually be a Japanese Wii, but flashed with the American Wii Menu which could explain why Wii Sports had an update since some files could be missing after flashing the American Wii Menu, but that might be a bit of a stretch.

[@SuperNerdAdamsGarage]

That sounds more plausible than just the Japanese disc drive being replaced for an American disc drive, like another comment suggested

[@fatfingerguy-]

I mean, the wii was already on 4.3U (last update for the wii) before he updated it so, makes sense

[@AmphiumHQ]

nah i remember people did that back in the day, system update was one of the symptoms if i remember

[@auto1lija]

@@AmphiumHQ The console is already on the latest Wii Menu version (4.3) which came out in 2010 and Wii Sports came out in 2006 (revision 1 discs in 2007) so there isn't really a reason why it would normally update.

Also, you can exceed 24 hours of game time in the logs by leaving something running over night. If you change games just after midnight, and then close just before the next midnight, you can clock nearly 48 hours lol. Source: I used to leave games on over night sometimes.

​@@DontReadMyBio2 as long as your console isn't making a weird noises and all of the cables are in decent shape, it's not a fire hazard. trust me, I left my Wii running for about 2 months strait.

[@taraw7413]

I think it was over 24 hours because it was played on the day that daylight savings fell on ( it said November 4th on the calendar)

[@N68dodgeboy]

Fun fact about the first Wii in the video, you can usually tell what region a console has based on the update version in the top right of the system settings menu at shown at 1:10. At that time stamp, you can see that it says: 4.3U, therefore this is in fact a North American region Wii and hence why it read North American Wii and Gamecube games no problem. So you are most likely correct that someone strangely did a case swap on this Nintendo Wii with a Japanese Wii for some reason.

[@Tearnalte]

Also could be a region swap.

[@dannythorpe1425]

homebrew and region unlock, can make any internals become any region.

[@kevinwheeler4061]

also, at 2:50 you can see it says that it detected unauthorized modifications

[@Tearnalte]

@@kevinwheeler4061 Not the case. The disc had an update on it; that message is shown as a warning that _if_ the console has unauthorized modifications, the update could remove them. It is shown whenever an update is conducted, whether the console is modded or not.

I once modded a Wii to have a different case. bought on AliExpress and had a Japanese replacement sticker. Might be that simple. ​@@Tearnalte

[@maverick024gaming3]

The reason for the lack of data on the SD cards is a lot of people thought you needed one for memory to save games or you know etcetera etcetera

[@fluffycritter]

The Nextar USA Maps is probably a data card for a car GPS. Those are often what dealers charge $300+ for to enable mapping to the infotainment unit. For it to turn up in a Wii is pretty funny.

[@grapeyv]

[@dogbunns]

My Wii still has its flaps. I think people either remove them if they use the gamecube ports often, or they break off from being left open. More often I hear that they were removed and lost.

[@ZombieDawg]

I always removed the GC port cover because I always kept my Wavebird recievers in the ports. I just stored the port cover in the Wii box.

[@elijahdoesthings]

My old wiis flaps got loose overtime. never messed with it or anything

[@qunt100]

@@ZombieDawg I feel like this is why that one flap is always kind of intact. Because you can have the gamecube memory cards in while the flap is on. And it's a little more of a nuisance to keep the gamecube port cover flap on in my experience. Because it truly does feel like there are more wiis with gamecube cover flaps than the gamecube controller cover flaps.

[@CeeJayThe13th]

I want to throw out that if the Wii is in a space with small children, they tend to meddle with and break things like that. That's why mine is missing the flap (wherever it ended up lol).

Wouldn't surprise me if whoever put that Mario Kart Wii disc in upside down just accidentally tested the Wii upside down. I mean, unlike the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (or pretty much any other game console), its obvious when the system is upside down. But not so much with the Wii. It really was the first system that looks normal when upside down (the Wii U would also appear rather normal upside down)

I used my Wii for (local) streaming right from the very beginning.
