If there's one thing we've learned over the last 3 years, it's that Nintendo can be wildly successful while doing everything the game industry and tech media consider backwards and wrong.
@(Starman) Starman: Yeah, well, this is going down on your permanent record, you know. The pedantic morons at the Bureau of Ridiculous Corrections will want to hear of this.
This naming scheme is atrocious. The Wii is probably the worst console name ever, and is not helped by the fact that you wave a long white wand at your TV alongside it.
psh, that's downright diminutive next to this peripheral (my brother had it for the original spinach gameboy). This bad boy took 8-bit sound and gave it a stereoish makeover, then pumped up the jam past 11 with a magnified, front-lit (by tiny incandescent bulbs! none of this LED bull!) screen. You rocked one of these things, with reebok pumps and a hypercolor shirt, and you were virtually guaranteed geek pimp status. And swirlies for the rest of your primary school life.
@appletoad: By the time you added Game Genie (with compartment in the back for code book!) along with this thing, you basically had a 4 lb, AA battery devouring beast that made game gears across the land soil themselves.
@GitEmSteveDave_IsNotLarryGaga: Wow, SteveDave, wow. I suppose the penitentiary system supplies these now? Unless you take showers at home with a possible therapist. ;)

@Thee Sea: I need to watch some of these. I've always been a huge Ultraman fan (mostly because it came out the year I was born & I love Japanese rubber monsters).
@KurganG: heh, "you're wrong" would have been fine for me . I associate relatively lax male clothing standards with North Americans, the Australians and to a lesser extent the Brits, and of these I associate Americans with Gizmodo posters, so I assumed he was American. My opinion had no factual basis, however.

When I was a little brat (now I'm a bigger brat who learned that i can't touch my toes and it hurts when I try), I melted a probably original Optimus Prime toy (sans trailer) to a light bulb in a desk lamp. "Uhhh he died in the movie so you can't really blame me, mom".
Of course I wish I hadn't, but I was young and that was the year I discovered you could burn things with a magnifying lens so it was a natural conclusion to that summer.
Melted plastic is awesome. Although in retrospect that toy was probably painted with arsenic, lead, and rare albino monkey blood so the fumes weren't the best thing to inhale as I watched in awe at the fusion of a playful toy and a skin melting 150w bulb hidden behind an innocent shade of lies. Hey, it was the 80's.
