Well, since the Wii can be 'tower' or 'flat' i don't know what would be considered the bottom, but I'll consider the bottom of it being flat the bottom. Like where the SD card reader is. WHY IS IT SO FRIGGIN HOT! I have it on for the 24/7 thingy and its pretty darn hot all the time, even after 4 days of not playing it O.O ! I pull out an SD card and that thing is so hot that the glue holding together my SD card seems to be weakening..

Make sure the air intake and exhaust grille isn't blocked by anything. And try putting thicker pads on the bottom (where those teeny weeny rubber ones are) to lift your Wii off the surface a bit.

The left side (or bottom side in your setup) of my Wii gets quite warm when I leave it in WiiConnect24 mode, some units though have a problem of that side getting really hot, and the fact that you are using that side as the bottom means it isn't getting well ventilated so the problem is greatly exacerbated. The only way you can stop it getting that hot is if you have your Wii vertically or if you don't leave it in WiiConnect24 mode, instead turn it off properly when you're not using it, ideally you should do both if possible.

I have same problem due to that wiiconnect ... i allways press the ower button long enough so that the wii does not go into standby with the red light

i don't understand why they made that other standby ... there is no reall use at least for me ... it just heat up the wii ... i can turn it on with the wiimote when it has the red light as well and there it doesn't heat up :/

It's useful for me, because I don't have that overheating problem, only a slight warmth. So I leave it in WiiConnect24 mode all the time, that way I know when I receive a message and I get to see the fabled blue light

my wii console gets quite hot on the bottom when lying flat and in WC24, but I feel it's nothing to worry about. but if it feels as if you are burning your fingers, better turn the console of over night.
