I guess that would have been the first or second year of the magazine. Regardless, care of this month's Pulse, the original letter:

IF WE ONLY HAD 27 FINGERS
My fantasy game system would be a complex 512-bit system. It could display 27,876,992 colors at one time and could play any game from any video game system that ever was or ever will be! There would be a miniature band inside that knew how to play any song! You could even buy a special chip that would allow you to make your own games for it! What game would come with the system, you ask: Super Mario Galaxy, better known as Super Mario Bros. 24! The system would come with six 27-button controllers and would cost $259.95. I would call it The Raw Power System!" -- Jimmy P., New York City
Not quite, but eerie enough.

Edit: Added highlights for effect ;)

Ha, that's pretty interesting. I was expecting something more vague like a motion sensing controller being talked about.

I bet that guy is getting his lawsuit ready right now.

Oops! I did it again.

Ol' Jim needs to wake up and take advantage of the 15 minutes of e-fame this could generate.

How much was Wii supposed to cost again? Was it really < $250? Because right now with it getting closer and closer...$250 sounds like a lot >_>;;

It's around $225 in Japan. No clue here.
