You can play most every game these days on an emulator on your PC by the way. And the original Mario Bros. is still pretty fun on a Wii.
You type faster than I do.

I think the multiplayer simple games still hold some interest, especially when played in a group/party type situation. That is the same thing that I like about the WII. I can have fun while being laughed at and getting my virtual ass kicked by Nick in boxing after bowling 10 frames and then sinking a hole in 1 at pebble beach having never seen the console before.

As compared to learning some convoluted combination of 2 thumb sticks, a direction pad, 4 triggers and 4 option buttons on other consoles, the WII is a true gaming system for the masses as was the 2600.
