I've seen *exactly* this method in action - at the Computer History Museum, with the audience being composed almost entirely of kids under the age of ten. It worked brilliantly.
The Wii - Is the Magic Gone? 492
Computer And Video Games asks the tough question: is the Wii's magic gone? After the flurry of excitement around the launch, lackluster ports and a persistent inability for Nintendo to keep units on the shelves has made it hard for gamers to sustain their enthusiasm for the system. It doesn't help that most of the good games slated for this year won't be out for months. In some cases, there's doubt they'll even make it out this year: Reggie Fils-Aime appears to be backpedaling on Metroid Prime 3 by Christmas, which would be a shame. GigaGamez has additional commentary. Are you still as excited about the Wii as you were when it launched?

Of course, I will disclaim again that I **do not** condone the release of a worm that clogs up systems and stuff. I refuse to be held responsible for any damage caused by the release of this code or any derivation of it. This code was developed for academic purposes only.
