Put these Wii features in your pipe and smoke it

Nintendo has just sent word on two spiffy new features you'll be able to take advantage of on your Wii. Details on the console's Message Board and Play History functions include:

Play History

• Data collection function that cannot be cleared

• Compiles a listing of information that includes total time played in every game. Could also track other stats

• Also functions as a parental monitoring system

• Will be used by Nintendo to track player data such as "most popular game played"
  

Message Board

• Keeps user achievement data (!) and shares it with other users of that console

• Integrates with games to notify players of important events

• Date sorting and calendar functions

• When connected to the internet, may be used to communicate with other consoles much like a simplified email client

• Compatible with mobile phones

Sounds good to us, but what do you guys think?
