	Top 10 Nintendo Wii Complaints from 1UP.com
		We can see wanting to avoid piracy, but the Wii is something Nintendo could update to kill freeloading tricks when and if they came up, and most anyone with that mentality already has all these games for their emulators, anyway.
		The Wii's got a great little online backend and interface, but to get on there you have to go wireless.
		Yeah, the Wii is cheap, but we're getting nickel and dimed to death on stuff that really should have been in the box.

	Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Wii News & Information; buy Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Wii games - CNET.com

		The Wii is fully backward compatible with the Nintendo GameCube and includes four built-in GameCube controller ports and two GameCube memory card slots for gamers who want to enjoy their last-gen games.

	Wii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A feature unique to the Wii is the console's wireless controller, the Wii Remote (or "Wii-mote"), which may be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect motion and rotation in three dimensions.
		The port for the sensor bar, a device used for the Wii Remote's three-dimensional sensing, is found at the rear of the console.
		There is no indication that the Wii has the high-speed and serial ports present on the original GameCube, which means that unless otherwise indicated, the Game Boy Player and the Nintendo Gamecube broadband and modem adapters (which required those ports) will not be compatible with the Wii.

	Wii Sports Review / Preview for the Nintendo Wii
		Wii Sports is the first title aimed at the non-gamer market.
		Holding the wii-mote like an actual tennis racket, 4 players were able to serve and volley back and forth, simply by moving the wii-mote in the air, while the motion-sensing technology did the rest.
		Players don't have to jockey for position, as their onscreen counterparts are always in the right spot, but they will have to swing the wii-mote at the right time to make the shot.

	Free Radical: Wii Can't Handle Our Game - Kotaku
		Sure the Wii is "supposedly" less powerful than ps3 and xbox 360 but i doubt that the console is that much less powerful that it can't handle a pretty game.
		Guess Who said if the Wii is three times as powerfull as the gamecube, then it won't be half as powerfull as the 360.
