Wii
At $400, this is a motion gaming console priced to move!
UPDATE: As electricfuture pointed out, the pictured bundle is the $300 version. More palatable for the consumer, yes, but still suspect. Coming Nov. 4, here is Microsoft’s $400 version of Wii. Suffice it to say, a $400 console this late in the game is pretty laughable’with or without motion. But who am I to judge? Maybe it will sell like hot cakes. (Wink, wink.) That said, I’m glad bot...

The recently released WiiWare version of the game is easily the definitive edition, with greater control of your character and through use of Nintendo’s awesome Wii controllers.
It’s fun to compare video game screen sizes
Amazing to think the DS is only slightly larger than the GBA’s 240 × 160 resolution. (Thanks for the image, Will)
