Can't find a Wii? Just get a Nii!

Who needs a Wii? Sure, they're super fun and everyone loves them, but, well… uh, they're hard to find. So just settle for some 15-year-old games while you wait for Nintendo to get its act together and put more Wiis on the shelves. I mean, what choice do you have?

There's no better way to play old-school SNES games while paying homage to the Wii than with the Nii, a mod by French game modder Kotomi. It looks like a Wii, complete with the glowing blue light around where the game goes in, but it's actually a retro Super Nintendo crammed into a tiny box. Pretty awesome if you ask me, and it even works with the Wii's retro controller. Sure, you can't play Wii Sports on it, but have some patience. You'll find one eventually.
