LCD screen lets you waggle on the go

We admired Engadget's custom-made portable Wii, but most gamers don't want to take such drastic steps to achieve Wii mobility. That's where Century steps in.

They've made a portable 7-inch LCD screen that connects to the Wii, and contains its own sensor bar. It's priced at 14,800 yen ($120)? Good thing we're scary recluses and don't go places anyway! That doesn't seem terrible for an LCD screen, but it's more than we'd enjoy paying for the privilege of a smaller screen.

I think it would be awkward to play Wii games on a screen that small. The Wii is already so easy to transport and hook up, just find a tv to hook it up to when you travel or whatever and save the money.

Hey, now your Wii's graphics won't look as bad as they do on normal tv's. The Wii is such a gimick.

I would never use it, but it's nice to see the Wii becoming portable. . .I bet we'll see someone put one in the back of an SUV for their kids. lol
