The classic controller is dumb: Why to Hate Nintendo Wii
PROs/CONs 
Tags: Nintendo Wii, video games, entertainment, hatred, problems
The Wii (pronounced the same as the pronoun we) is the fifth home video game console released by Nintendo. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 but it competes with both as part of the seventh generation of gaming systems.
| | The Wii remote uses two AA batteries, and it uses them fast. Having to buy AAs in bulk feels like a step backwards, not forwards. |
| | Getting online is more difficult than it should be. The problem with wireless Internet is that it's incredibly difficult to get working--if you even have that option in your house. |
| | The Virtual Console is poorly implemented. You can only play games that are saved to the Wii's internal memory, so what happens when you download more games than can fit on there? |
| | The pricing structure is ridiculous. Nintendo is charging $5 for an NES game and $10 for the N64. |
| | There aren't enough options in the Mii channel. |
| | The classic controller is dumb. It plugs into the Wii remote so when you use it, you have an extra controller dangling off to the side. |
| | The sound quality from the remote is poor. |
