They never outright show or say what it is, just that its vibrating under the pillow and proves that Birdo is a woman. For all we know it could be a cellphone with a wallpaper of Justin Timberlake and Marky Mark hugging.

Way I see it, this is no worse than the Peach storyline in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Alright, maybe you CAN give up on Captain Rainbow.

Mother 2 sold like crap in North America (Earthbound fans are liars), and Mother 3 didn't even sell that well in Japan. I can't really blame Nintendo for not wanting to spend the money on localization. There's a lot of it in RPGs. Don't give up hope on Captain Rainbow, though. I would have said the same about Chibi Robo. Really, they'd just have to change the name.

You should do what I do and backup games as soon as you download them. A few minutes at a time isn't a big deal, when you only do it every few weeks or months. Copying your less-played games back from your SD card when you want to play them is no more annoying than mandatory installs of PS3 games. The storage issue isn't nearly as big a deal as people act like it is.

Also, there's no such thing as a crappy Zelda. Not counting those CD-i abominations, but Nintendo didn't make those anyway. xP

I liked Strong Bad and LostWinds very much, but most of the other WiiWare stuff is kinda lame, yep.

As for copying files, I can suggest using a better memory card. SD card speeds actually very tremendously between cards. I got a cheapie Polaroid card that took more than twice as long for the Wii to copy files to than a Wii-branded SanDisk card.
