You will find discussion about this system in the newsgroup:

  rec.games.video.nintendo

There have already been reviews of the system by people who work at stores such
as Babbages, etc.

Nintendo's web server now has a sizeable page about the system at:

  http://www.nintendo.com/virtual/virtual.html

I understand one can try out the system at Blockbuster stores in the USA.

Hope this helps! :)
