Re: Nintendo copies Microsoft!

Just for the record, I work for Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation - and it was actually Nintendo that did this first. Nintendo has been placing Fun Centers in hospitals since 1992, through Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation. This is just the latest generation of the Fun Center, now featuring the Wii. Older models included N64 and GameCube... you get it! Good stuff! They are one of our most dedicated corporate partners. 16 years!
