So i was reading the game spot forums, and apparently someone who sent their wii in for repair got their wii back with all their saves, but had system version 4.3U instead of 4.2U. Anyone else smell something funky going on at Nintendo? Heres the quote and link
"I sent my Wii to Nintendo to get repair work done to fix the artifacting issue. I've posted on here before about whether I had it for sure or not, and after getting NSMBW and noticing it I had to get it repaired. I've had my Wii since January 2007. Nintendo, as expected was extremely polite, and the lady on the phone said, that althought she had heard of the artifacting issue I was only the second person that had called her about getting it repaired. The repair did cost me $85 which included shipping to and from Redmond, and I have a new 1 year warranty on my Wii. They did not send me a new one, they sent me my Wii, same serial number. All save data was intact. I had to redownload my channels. My account was still synced up with my Wii. I had 600 Wii points when I sent it, and I had 600 when I got it back. I am able to edit my Miis also. The artifacting issue has gone away completely. The only strange thing I found about the entire experience was that my system came back with Wii System 4.3U. I didn't notice at first that the latest version is 4.2U, until I ran a Wii System Update after testing my internet connection (the internet profiles were intact). The System Update "updated" me to 4.2U. I wish I had taken notice of the 4.3U System Software before, or I would have taken a picture. So you'll just have to believe my word, not that 4.3U seemed at all different. When you search for stories about Wii Repairs you read a lot of horror stories, of people losing save data, losing points, their shop accounts not being synced with their Wii, Miis being uneditable, and I believe these are the over represented minority of cases. Here is a case when everything went right.
Thanks Nintendo, now I'm going to catch up on Nintendo Week and play NSMBW"
