Was amazed to see a Wii in the Gayme in Nottingham, was even more amazed to see it OFF! Fucking hell!

It's a tiny little bugger but it sure does look cute. ME WANTEE!

Sony say Wii is more fun than PS3

â€œThe Wii-type functionality is more just a sub-element of what the PlayStation 3 offers. Wii is a core gaming device. Itâ€™s a more fun, intuitive sort of product to pick up, where the PS3 is a broader entertainment solution; so you can have your fun, enjoyable gaming â€¦ but then you have a whole suite of other applications â€¦ such as Blu-ray media playback, the ability to access your music, access your photos and the interoperability with the PlayStation Portable. Gamers are extremely aware of what theyâ€™re after and what they want. So gamers will already have a very good understanding of what PlayStation 3 offers versus what Wii offers and many of them will probably have both devices.â€ - Nic Foster, general manager for Sony Australia & New Zealand

Starfox2?

I doubt it's just one game. Perhaps other consoles are being emulated? Sega Master System, Saturn, DC anyone? If only...

I suspect it is a games system. I would place my bets on the Saturn as it is about 10 years old and I'm not sure if there are any emulators for it.

I like the way Nintendo manage to keep up the suspense

VirtualBoy emulation! Finally!

If its the Saturn, I'll be buying a Wii much sooner than May, which is when I was planning on getting it. I'd have to dig Dragon Force and NiGHTS out of my Mom's attic. It would be awesome to play those games again.

If it *is* a Saturn, and they *do* have Sega Rally, then I'm going to make love to my Wiimote.

You guys in the UK got your Wiis yet. Jesus, come on!!

Im doughtfull, Nintendo would have spent their time on other stuff before a Saturn emulator, imo.

Give me Saturn. Give me NiGHTS and Radiant Silvergun and Panzer Dragoon Saga and I shall die happy.

Saturn? On a Wii? Unlikely.

How dare you smash my hopes and dreams.

Are there technical lmitations that would prevent it from happening? I know the Wii isn't the most powerful piece of hardware out there but its quite a bit more beefy than the Saturn.

I'd be happy with pretty much anything, though. Even 8-bit Sega or Final Lap Twin for the Turbo Grafx.

Trust you to butt in and fuck everything up. I reckon it's the Dreamcast anyway. No I don't know what I'm talking about.

GameBoy? Seeing as how Wii doesn't support the GC GBA adapter.. could be any number of things really.
