    Yes, would you care to make a thread about how rubbish the PS3 will be? Your blatant Nintendo crazedness isn't 100% obvious.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    No hate here my friend, it's all good

    Is this copied and pasted information? It's pretty darn comprehensive.

    If that information is straight out of Game Informer, edit your first post to reflect that right at the beginning, or I will close this thread.

    The back of the Wii box says what comes with the system, including a 'Wii Startup Disc'.
    There's a link in the article to an image of the front of the box as well, if you are curious.

    It's interesting that "Nunchuk" went from being a tenative nickname for the controller attachment to its actual official denomination. On the other hand, I can't say how grateful I am that Nintendo hasn't bought into the disturbing trend of referring to the Wii Remote as the "Wiimote."

    You mean like the disturbing trend of naming the console something that will be ridiculed for years to come as oppose to an actual, sensible name?

    Wii Jokes seem to have calmed down as of late. In fact, I only remember seeing them for about 2 weeks. I can agree that perhaps they should have found some OTHER one syllable word that any country can say, considering I already use the word "Wee" to state when I'm going to take a pee, but the ridiculing (which was the main problem of the name) has stopped. For the most part, anyway. Of course, since this is the only forum I go to besides Gamefaqs and Gamer's Cut, perhaps I don't see any Wii jokes because the communities I go to are completely biased towards it positively. >.>

    Are you kidding? Wiimote is great. It's like the only reason they changed the name of the console was to give the controller a more bitchin' name. Revmote just doesn't have the same ring to it.

    I'll second that. "Wiimote" is an awesome name for the controller, even if it does sound a little silly.
