Wii Shop Channel - Connecting. Please Wait... 7 decades...

Ok, so I finally got my Wii today, and it's freakin' awesome. Period.

One little problem, however, has aroused. After having set up my internet connection, allowing me to access system updates and the forecast, I tried to access Wii Shop - only I can't. The screen pops up with a friendly message saying 'Connecting. Please wait...' ...and wait, and wait, and wait. I've been sitting here a good while, and the damn thing still won't connect. The only wait to go back is to pull the power cord. I've established the appropriate connections, so what's up here?

Any help would severely kick-ass. Thanks.

re: Wii Shop Channel - Connecting. Please Wait... 7 decades...

My guess would be that many people, like you, recieved a Wii today and are trying access the shop channel, causing the slow downs. That, and owners prior to today may have recieved Wii Points, it being Christmas and all. I had the same problem on launch day when I tried to access it. Took me an hour to get into it, but I finally got to download Sim City.

I keep getting errors on the shop channel. It's being a bitch.

re: Wii Shop Channel - Connecting. Please Wait... 7 decades...

It may just be the heavy load today due to Christmas, like random_gamer said. It does take around 20 seconds to initially load the channel on regular days, but after that load times are 1-2 seconds between pages and no errors. It should be faster because of WiiConnect24, but it isn't. However, on regular days, it still doesn't take that long and I never got errors. It may just be your internet or today's heavy load. Or both.

re: Wii Shop Channel - Connecting. Please Wait... 7 decades...

I just went to the shop channel about an 1/2 an hour ago. I got a couple error messages at first, but then it connected, after about 20 minutes of waiting. Annoying, yes, but I'll be damned if Super Mario Bros. ain't worth it.

re: Wii Shop Channel - Connecting. Please Wait... 7 decades...

It could be 1 of 2 things.us
1) the server is overloaded because its christmas and there are too many people connecting at the same time as you
OR
2) your router/usb connector *bleep*.

For your sake I hope its choice #1. By tomorrow you should be able to get on with ease.us
