Ratings: Nintendo Wii

Build Quality: 86
• Thin, white plastic housing; Sensor Bar feels downright fragile
• Almost impossibly compact design, owing partly to an external power brick

Value: 95
• Although it lacks DVD/high-def-video playback like some others, it is priced to move
• No hard drive, but did I mention it's only $250?

Features: 90
• A variety of channels put games, info, friends, and new content at your fingertips
• Backwards-compatible with GameCube games and accessories, plus Nintendo classics

Performance: 88
• Overall solid audio and video, despite the presence of jaggies
• Wi-Fi performance and Internet access can be temperamental

Ergonomics: 93
• Once set up, it feels so intuitive, it hardly feels like you're playing a game
• But like most "wireless" devices, there are a lot of wires and other doodads here

Overall Rating: 90
Talk of a DVD-enabled deluxe model later in 2007—and short supplies at launch—might stay your credit card right now. But, with support for the most popular new franchise titles and many Wii exclusives to exploit those mind-boggling controllers, the Wii is a one-way ticket to Funsville.

Coaching others in gaming can be a fun and profitable path. Platforms like Discord and Twitch make it easy to connect with players who want to improve. Personally, I’ve found that starting with a solid presence on social media helps show off your skills and attract potential clients. Offering a free session or two can help break the ice and give people a taste of your coaching style. I’ve also had good luck finding players in gaming communities who are actively looking for tips and guidance. Services like Gamer Sensei or Fiverr let you set up your profile and start charging for your time. On the side, I've seen apps like https://66lotteryy.app/ offer an interesting way to bring in some extra cash. Users get a free spin that might win them real money, which can be a fun bonus as you build your coaching business. It’s a creative way to supplement income while still focusing on gaming.
