Has anybody have overheating issues on the wii?

[rantsh]

Recently my wii is giving problems when trying to play tennis on wii sports with 4 players (yes, only if it's all 4 players).

Two things happened prior to the issue first appearing:

1.- I installed wii sports resort (not a 'great' game btw).
2.- I once "switched off" the wii with the wii-mote so the light went yellow instead of red. When I noticed (the next day) the wii was really hot.

I'm inclined to think the issue was the latter, so I ask you guys to see if anybody has had the same issue. As far as I've noticed it only happens with wii sports' tennis when all 4 players are in, no other games (wii sports or not) is experiencing issues.

Any thoughts?

I've let my Wii remain on for months at a time. No kidding.

It's a very resilient little beast.

Wouldn't dare do that with my 360 or PS3. Those bastards have my Media Center sweltering like the sahara even after a couple hours of play.

Not sure why your Wii will be overheating.

Haven't played much wii sports in recent times (in over a year). Nor did we ever do it with all 4 players. The only 4 player game we play on the wii is the New Super Mario Brothers.

Highly recommended btw, its great fun.

Yellow light means its on standby. It gets hot, but wont burn down or anything. You have your Wii set on the standby mode to receive msg's from Wii users. If you switch it off it should go red.

I know that, it just surprised me for a bit that it was hot, I would've assumed the darn thing would've switched on the fans or something...

@TriniWyatt, I know they get hot... I'm thinking I should probably get my PS3 in my bedroom where there's A/C and it can be happy

Bottom line is, maybe Wii sport resort did some update or something that might have affected normal wii sports and because not too many people use it for 4 player tennis anymore nobody has noticed(?).

Either way, I plan to get the new super mario wii sometime this week, and its PS3 equivalent (not sure if this a stupid statement) Little big planet, I'll check for you online when I get them.
