OK, this is kinda a stupid topic, but, when I'm not using my Wii, the power button turns a different color than green (meaning the Wii is turned on). Mine turns an orange color, but most of my friends' Wii turns a red color. Is there a difference?

Orange means that its on stand-by mode but with WiiConnect24 turned on.
meaning your wii is online while its on stand-by.

Orange=what people already said, + bad idea. Running your system like that has been linked (not necessarily conclusively, but I'd rather not risk it) to graphic glitches on the Wii (ugly black vertical lines on the screen).

Plus having your WiiConnect24 on causes your wii to get really hot. Not good for electronics ..See : X Box360

What's this bit for again?

Warm on the outside, hotter on the inside. Not really a good idea to keep your console even WARM 24/7, though. The heat is what seems to cause the graphic problems I mentioned in my last post. Better not to risk it, since WiiConnect24 really isn't worth very much anyway.

that's not good! lol maybe you should call Nintendo about it and see if something is up about it

I've used WC24 since launch, and mine has not had any problems. Even jammed between two other systems, it doesn't get hot at all. I guess I got a lucky system.

Come on, friends,

Nah I just turn Wii connect off I don't use it much anyway. I'll turn it on again in winter to save on heating bills.I'll plug the 360 in if it get's really cold.

It turns red for me when first plugging it in, (like NES on)
or after a power-outage.

mine does the same if you hold down the power button for five seconds.

lol clever usage of the 360

Mine gets very very hot, and I have to make sure its got space with both fans exposed. It's that hot I sometimes use it to dry herbs.

Rawr!

How dare you!!!! I'll have you know his vents are spotless thank you very much. My Wii has a meticulous hygiene regime (he's a bit OCD about it to be honest but he won't listen!)
