Josef, a Nintendo Wii owner noticed a while ago, on the first Weather channel videos that the constellations seen on the globe didn’t seem random, but actually rightfully placed. After a bit of fiddling around, he was able to find many constellations in their correct positions, like the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) for instance:

It seems to be accurately positioned as well, which means that someone at Nintendo put in a fine bit of extra effort to include this subtle little bonus.

This isn’t exactly a big feature, but it’s nice enough that they took enough time to implement this feature, and I can think of a few friends of mine that would find it useful if they purchased a Wii when they go out to watch the stars.
