Yup, I can't wait to get mine!
But I'll also have to wait a bit before I get mine.
I can't wait to play Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess... It's setting up to be the greatest game ever created. It is so big, it will take you 45 minutes to travel from one end of the land to the other. Not to mention there is supposed to be two different worlds/dimensions.

Seems like it will come with some Wii points to download those old classics (i.e. duck hunt)

Something that is pretty cool that will come with the Wii, is the Mii function. This is where you create your own avatar and you throw yourself among your buddy list world
http://movie.nintendo.co.jp/data/wii...iimiiiwata.swf
All of your Buddies are stored in the Mii/Wii world, and you can click on them to see their info and see if they are online. It is expected that once the games with the wireless function start being released, this function will be really useful.

The even cooler thing about this is that you can use your avatar, or one of your buddies avatar, and place them in the Wii Sports game that will be bundled with the Wii.
