Hmm thats awesome.

Do Nintendo only provide a one year warranty for the Wii? Is there anyway to extend that warranty?

Maybe NES's, but nothing else.

You don't need a warranty for Nintendo stuff. I've never known anything Nintendo to break, ever!

I have, but it might have just been through overuse, so it's Nintendo's fault for making the NES so great.

All I can offer is that my one Wii has not failed in any way as of yet, so my personal failure rate is at 0%. Of course my lifetime console failure rate is also at 0%.

I've had a few disc read errors, but rebooting the Wii always solves that problem.

There is a general problem with the Wii GPU overheating resulting in corrupted graphics (random colored "dots" all over the lower half of the screen).

Here's an example
