Hahaha, omg, that's freaking legendary. I'll remember you forever, or until someone tries to put a game boy advance game in their wii to emulate a gameboy player.

GUYS, STOP LAUGHING AND HELP THE POOR MAN!
(Though, that was a REALLY FUCKING STUPID thing to do. :lol)
OKay Step 1 it to turn off your Wii. NOw take some card stock or anything that has the thickness and strength of business card, and hold it to make a pincher thing. It should look like an "L" if looked at sidewise. Insert, turn on Wii, and QUICKLY ROTATE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, SQUEEZE, AND PULL OUT. Do all this while holding the console slot-side down.
Good luck!

Nah...They'll just add another warning in the manual similar to "Don't feed the Pikmin".

Stop drinking. Reevaluate life lead. Volunteer at homeless shelter. Marry a woman of modest appearance and have unspectacular children.
Or try turning the Wii so that its slot is facing the floor. In this position try pressing the eject button. Oh, and shake the shit out of it.

You could try sucking it back out.
With a vaccum cleaner moran

But you're just prying the thing out with a card and shaking the Wii at an angle, basically. You don't need the power on.
BTW GameOfTheYear, you must take pictures of whatever course of action you choose. :lol

lolol, I have to admit, a comment like that just makes me laugh more.
In all seriousness, there are two options:
1) Call Nintendo
2) Get a tool similar to this

and use it to extract the SD card. It might incite laffles and a return shipment from Nintendo if you need to have warranty work done though.

I clicked this thread expecting something entirely different, though I am watching in earnest since my younger cousins (twins ~8 years old) tend to want to use the Wii when they come over and I wouldn't put it past them to do something like this.

I'm actually pretty sure a big magnet could get it out.
... You guys are all failing to realize that when you put a game into the wii, a metal bar covers the disk slot to keep you from putting anything else in it/the disk from flying out.
Have you tried to just eject the game yet? Hold the system so the disc slot is facing the ground, and push the eject button to see if it comes out. Shake it a bit too while doing this.
If that fails, just call Nintendo, explain it to them, and ship it off. The only thing is that you may not get the SD card back.
