Still playing with your Wii?

We got ours a month ago and bust it out occasionally when friends come over, but on the whole it's not my "go to" machine when I want to play games. I'm still playing Boom Blox and trying to unlock all the game modes, but am quickly discovering a bunch of system quirks that annoy me.

* The Wii remote onscreen pointer goes spastic at times. Not sure if it's because of the positioning of the IR bar or what, but even if the controller is pointed at the screen and resting on my leg, the hand icon goes crazy and it's hard to control.

* Controls aren't always responsive, which is annoying.

* The included WiFi adapter is weak and has trouble connecting to my router.

* It doesn't have an Ethernet port so I can't even plug it in to my switch if I wanted to.

Don't get me wrong--I still enjoy the thing. It's just not as super awesomely fantastic as all those Nintendo ads would have me believe. So I ask you this, fellow Wii owners: are you still playing with your Wii?
