I'm really warming to the idea of a Wii (although, like many i am not so sure about the name)

I've seen some of those new NES systems out there with wireless remotes and am really tempted. But with downloadable retro games and the chance of old controllers i might have to think about a Wii instead.

I concur, but whats that controller underneath it also? PC Engine???

It wont be there to replace PC, heck nothing could replace a PC... apart from a new more upto date PC..
