Wii makes cameo in Despicable Me

Nintendo's little white box is set to make a cameo in Steve Carell's upcoming CG joint, Despicable Me. You'll spot in the recently released trailer for the July 2010 film, which chronicles the lives of two warring supervillains. Apparently, when you're the best that supervillainy has to offer, you can just lay around in your orange track suit on your matching couch, snacking on potato chips and playing Wii all day. What a life!

Hah, very interesting! I've yet to hear of this film.

I remember Wii making a little cameo in Tropic Thunder, though... which was hilarious.

But, the best at supervillainy is EvilLord from Half-Minute Hero.

Wait, no, he's the most beautiful.

The wii was also in How I Met Your Mother, as well as Eastenders.
I even saw an N64 in according to jim once, the funny thing was it was not even plugged in the back, but fake noises were coming from the tv.

There was an N64 in Office Space with Super Smash Bros. in the system.

Also on a few episodes of Mythbusters I've seen a Wii box lying around, usually behind Jamie in the talking head segments.
