Let's see... the Wii mod is simple and it's quite easy to download every game released thus far for the system. In addition, we're starting to see games that make intelligent use of the baton (such as Metroid 3), as opposed to Proof-of-Concept games (such as the very fun Smooth Moves). Oh yeah, it can also play the entire GameCube catalogue and now the someone's written a Virtual, Virtual Console emulator, every NES, SNES, TurboGraffix16, and Sega game ALL ON THE SAME BOX.

If only Nintendo had thrown in a DVD player for an additonal $20, it might just be the most perfect game system ever. (Assuming you don't salivate over framerate in your OVERDONE TO DEATH First-person-shooters). Congrats to Nintendo for making something intuitive, family friendly, affordable and showing the software manufacturers that there are indeed markets outside of the FPS for Males 18-30.

Not too bad for an Italian Plumber and a boy Elf, eh?
