The Wii. What can I say about it? It's small and white and pretty to look at. I really haven't found much actual physical games appealing enough to spend $60. Although Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles coming out in less than a week will definitely be an addition to my library.
On the other hand, the Virtual Console is the best thing I've seen ever. I mean who can resist playing those great games you grew up with like the classics of Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda? Old-skool, I know, but loads of fun. Not to mention Castlevania and Sonic the Hedgehog. Speaking of the Wii Shop Channel, there's a spot in there, WiiWare, that I like a lot. There isn't much there yet but I am looking forward to great indie stuff coming soon.
There are some okay pieces of software like the Weather and News Channels, but are they really necessary? I mean, who doesn't have access to some sort of computer to look all this up? So it seems kinda wasted. I just wish the Mii channel would be more than just a bump on a log. But it's definitely got some potential.
And lastly, the Everybody Votes Channel. I personally like that channel. There have been some interesting questions on there like "Which one of these would you rather dive into a pool full of? spaghetti or vanilla pudding?" I chose vanilla pudding.
Overall though, the Wii is a fun little machine.
