The Nintendo Wii ships...to ships

Since its launch last November, the Nintendo Wii has made waves among retirees and new gamers.

Now, Nintendo's generation-transcending game machine is making waves in the literal sense.

According to this post on Joystiq, Norwegian Cruise Lines will feature Nintendo Wiis on all cruises. As this photo attests, they're talkin' big-screen action.

Judging how hard it is to find a Wii in stores, cruise ships will no doubt become a huge target for pirates. Marrrrrrrio!

This isn't a surprise

I remember when hotels used to carry these all-in-one consoles that allowed you to play several good SNES and N64 titles on the TV. It was always Nintendo! Never any other console. Maybe it was cause these games were on cartridges so sending a "rom" to a hotel room was easier than having each games on CD-rom. But it's great to see Nintendo is once again going to be in Cruise Ships, and maybe oneday in Hotel rooms like they did with SNES and N64 games.
