I'm thinking about getting the Wii Mario Bros. Bundle. This is the Wii that sits sideways and doesn't come with a stand. I want to buy a stand. Does it have the rubber feet that sits into a stand like the older Wii's?

Just pick up an older wii that plays gamecube games, unless you already have a gamecube.

All the new Wii's are the sideways ones, and yes you can stand it up too, not sure if it comes with a stand or not, it should.

You could just buy a stand from EB games/Gamestop. I have a Nintendo Wii the model 1 with the Gamecube ports/Memory card slots. I never used the Wii stand. Sometimes Gamestop has stands for $1.99 so they should not be hard to get.

I just lay the console flat. A New Super Mario Wii bundle shows. Most people didn't bother with the stand, so Nintendo stopped including it.

No new Wii's are backwards compatible, you have to get a used one for that. Given the disc drive issues some Wii's can have, I would recommend buying a new one under warranty and buying a really cheap Gamecube online:

Take that fantastic deal for instance, there are a million more like it..

OK, can't wait! I have a gamecube somewhere, was just hoping to have a system which could do it all but that's okay. Will be putting my 360 and PS3 in storage and going full Nintendo for the forseeable future. I might even sell one or both of them.

I've had a Wii for about 2 years, had a PS3 all gen before then, sold it and got a 360 recently, its a pretty good combo for me because all my friends play on Xbox Live or Wii :P If you have any questions about games feel free to PM me, I've got close to 80 Wii games so I can give you a pretty good overview :P
