How about the built in wi-fi? This is a fantastic feature, and it's great to see it on such a low priced unit. But it lacks a built in network jack, instead requiring the user to buy a Nintendo USB dongle to connect the thing to your network "the old fashion way".
Nintendo also released a while back it's Wii ware channel. This is sort of Nintendo's response to Xbox Live arcade or Xbox live community games. It's a great feature that lets smaller developers get there games out to a much larger audience. The problem is that the Wii only has 256 megs of built in memory to store those games on, and no hard drive support is promised. Things get tight quickly.
On the audio visual side this console is a joke. For a full 50 bucks less you can buy a machine that does HD graphics and supports proper surround sound. Dolby Digital 5.1 has been around for a long, long time now, and to not even include an optical port on the Nintendo wii is vexing to say the least. If you care at all about how your games look or sound, avoid this platform. The graphics hardware it's self is essentially a game cube repackaged. If you get a chance, run the original Halo that came out as a launch game for the Xbox against any Wii game. Halo typically looks better, and it came out 6 years ago.
Next there is the online experience. As mentioned before, Nintendo was kind enough to provide wifi support on the console and with that connection they give you access to free online gaming. But rather than having a unified friends list like Xbox live or PSN, your required to trade 16-digit friend codes in order to friend someone, and those friends don't necessarily persist from game to game. This means swapping friend codes for every single game you play on the wii. Not my idea of fun. In addition to the online gaming, Nintendo also offers a news reader, weather channel, web surfing and some other fun extras. These features ultimately are fairly useless as most people who have a Wii connected via wifi also have a PC connected that can run it's screen at a higher resolution and thus make for a much more pleasant web surfing experience.
So what is good about this thing? Where the Wii proves to be at it's best is in exactly the same spots where Nintendo consoles have always been at there best - local multilayer gaming. 4-player split screen Mario kart will always be fun, and Wii sports shows that introducing motion controls allows simple sports movements to be replicated in a party atmosphere with some degree of accuracy (although, admittedly, not all that much accuracy either). If your the type of person who wants to have 4 people in front of the TV to game, then this console is a good buy. Just remember: 3 extra wii motes and nunchucks will run you approximately an extra 180 dollars (although you can save a bit buy buying online). At that price, you could have a blu-ray playing PS3.
Lastly, there is the software. This console has shown it's self to be just like every other Nintendo console ever made - First party Nintendo games sell great but everyone else not so much. The result has been smaller, lower funded development teams developing piles of shovel ware for the system. This console lacks any major AAA 3erd party games. Generally the only AAA games on this platform are Nintendo made, and even those are generally retreads of older Nintendo game such as Smash Bros and Mario Kart. We've played these games before, and they want us to spend 60 bucks to play them again.
To any a/v nut or anyone who loves AAA games out there, this console is an utter waste of your time and money. I couldn't recommend it less. But to anyone who just wants a simple, go have fun with your friends on the couch experience, it would be hard for me to recommend a better platform. It will be a smash hit at thanksgiving and Christmas get together, but when your board on a Wednesday night and alone, this consoles poor online and lack of AAA games will leave you board.
