"The retailers will either receive a pre-built, self-contained interactive, including a TV, game console and controllers, while others will receive the game console and controllers and will set up an interactive Wii experience using their own TV." Also given consideration is the design of in-store displays, which is meant to exhibit the Wii's unique games and deliver entertainment to consumers, while still fitting in a retail environment. The controllers will be wireless, and as such, they are also requesting the stores' staff to be at hand to assist consumers in trying out the console.

Of course, since the objective is to let consumers have a pleasurable experience with this upcoming hot next-gen console, they expect that everyone who'd want to try it out at the kiosks should be able to do so. Apart from retail outlets, they also intend to bring the Wii kiosks to malls throughout the country, as well as the nationwide Nintendo Fusion Tour and other consumer events.

Now there's really no stopping Wii from spreading the fun.

Looks cool

So im guessing those long white rods are connected to the wiimonte, leaving it wireless, yet making it impossible to steel?
