WiiCube

The Wii isn't two GameCubes duct-taped together, but it is an easy way to play a slew of (now) cheap GameCube games in widescreen 480p mode (if the games support the feature), without having to worry about cluttering your entertainment center. Every GameCube game is backwards compatible, without the need to download a patch (as with the Xbox 360) or worry about software emulation troubles (as with the PS3), so if your GameCube collection is lacking, now is the perfect time to start stockpiling all the great games you missed.

My wii is usually very good. Pros: easy to use, Good game selection, tells time, tells you what games you've been playing for how long, internet access. Cons: wii power button does not always work, Somtimes (on madden for intance) if you celebrate like a 2 year old who's just eaten two dozen lolly pops the wii remote will lose connection and you will have to start a new game. Good games for a young audiance would be wii carnival, mario cart, and deca sports. Good games for an older audiance would be Call of Duty or madden 09. Good Games for the whole family are the wii series: wii ski, wii play, wii music ect., and rock band. I'll warn you that rockband does have some uuuuuu..... Mature topics in lyrics.
