yup, your definitely getting a Wii in the near future. The black version looks awesome BTW. I have both the Wii and 360 version of the Sega Racing game and the only differences are controls, graphics and Banjo and his bird being in the game for the 360 version.
I actually like the classic white better myself. Yeah, the one thing makes me weary of the Wii is the Wii-mote controls. I played Punch-Out! and got so annoyed with it cuz I just wanted to use a pad like I was used to.

you can play Punch-Out Wii without the Wii-mote "motion" controls. just turn it side way and play like you would a NES punch out.

really? I had no idea. I'd rather use the sidewise NES style for most Wii games. I'm not big on motion controls at all. Other than for like bowling or something. But Twilight Princess is GCN all the way. Y'know?

well yes and no. I feel like my wife would use it more than me honestly. If you saw the PILE of (really good) GB games I recently got in that I haven't even popped in yet... let's just say I'm not exactly about to succumb to boredom. 8)

Though nobody has voted for it ( I voted for Wii) the PS3 has all those PSone classics.
