Get a gaming PC instead,or at least a 360.
Too expensive. Nintendo is putting work into making better games and not more expensive hardware. Besides, Zelda games don't come out on XBOX360 so that ruins the whole idea. And there's the vendetta I have against Microsoft for making a progressively more resource intensive and more craptacular operating systems. The whole activation and WGA thing has made me switch over to Macintosh. BTW, OSX is FAST.
I can understand you like zelda and you hate microsoft,alright then.

Maybe in a year or two, someone will come out with a "Wii Emulator" for the PC! 
Do the Wii games come on CDs or cartridges? If they come on CDs, would it be possible to "rip" the games from the discs somehow and turn them into "ROMs" that the emulator would be able to read?

they come in cd's, and to be honest I don't see that in the near future, and if there ever where one, it'd need a huge machine to run it even at a slow speed.

yeah!
a cousin got one, I loved it!
I knew Nintendo was behind something HUGE when I saw two uncles, who have never played videogames, grab the control and play baseball, and an aunt play tenis.
This is great, and actually makes families play together

I got one at launch day, and I imagine it would be a fantastic party system (ironically, I never have them 
). Having people swinging their arms around like maniacs playing Wii Sports would be classic--heck, even I laugh at myself when I'm playing.

I already have a "Super Nintento" Emulator (SNES9X)...
Nintendo's optical media isn't tracked like standard DVDs so the only drives that can read the discs are in the Nintendo. It's still possible to rip SOMEHOW, but we are talking about emulating a RISC instruction set on a CISC instruction set, and it usually doesn't work out too well even on monsterously powerful hardware.

Like 2.0GHz+2.0GHz for a total of 4.0GHz? Or both cores running at 3.5GHz? Because it sounds like the former. My iMac already exceeds that.
