Design: I'd prefer it to be black and horizontal, but at least it is a rectangular prism unlike the weird curve of the PS3.

Software: Can't complain. Gets the job done.

Games: You have all the Wii and Gamecube games. Also you have the virtual console for classics and the shop channel has a bunch of original games.

Controls: I'd prefer the Nunchuk to be wireless. It get's caught in my arm playing Skyward Sword sometimes.

Performance: Not HD, but if you get the Skyward Sword you'll quickly forget that fact.

Heat: Doesn't get hot.

Noise: Pet peeve of mine is the disc reading noise of consoles.
