Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Do you have a Wii but never bought a Gamecube?

No GC, last (and only) console owned was NES (since PC is not considered a console).

Enjoying it so far, aside from some minor problems. 

Looking forward to lots of games, but will have to see more before a definite buy.



I am a PC gamer, and also have a NDS now, but without access to a Nintendo Wii until End of 2007.

Currently playing: Super Smash Brothers Brawl(Wii), Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer(DS), Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime (DS), WiiFit(Wii)

Games Recently Beaten: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (Normal; Very Hard after the next DLCs become available)

I have a Wii, and I haven't been with Nintendo for the past two generations. I've skipped both the N64 and the Gamecube. No regrets whatsoever...I don't feel like I've missed much.

As for the Wii, I love it. There are plenty games out already to justify the investment (Zelda, Trauma Center, Excite Truck, Elebits and Godfather come immediately to mind), and lots of games to look forward to. I'm especially anticipating No More Heroes, Mario Galaxy, Zack and Wiki, and Trauma Center: New Blood.



Wii # 4594 3226 7132 0861 (please PM me your if you add me, so I can add you too!)

You guys should really pick up some of the great GC games out there....Smash Bros, Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, Rogue Squadron, Zelda Wind Waker, Metroid, etc.

Got Sunshine, Smash and getting Wind Waker and Metroids soon probably.


Yeah all those games are great.  I'm pretty sure you can grab Wind Waker and the 2 Metroids for a total of $40 bucks either online or in an EB Games.

- Resident Evil (Remake)
- Resident Evil 2, 3, CV (Ports but still worth having)

I have a Wii and never had a Cube. And now that I've started buying the old Cube games that I missed out on, I have no idea why I got a PS2 over it.



I'm certain the house will eventually be blessed with a Wii, and I've never had a GC. Looking forward to SSBB and Mario Galaxy, first and foremost. Also, NiGHTS and Zack and Wiki are up there, too.

I bought a Gamcube at launch and another one down the track for my sibblings, I'm just wondering if anyone here wasn't with Nintendo the last gneration but have joined in since the Wii.

And if so are you enjoying the Wii so far?

What games are you looking forward to?


I did not own a gamecube. I own a PS2.  I bought a Wii.  I love my Wii.  I want Super Mario Galaxy NOW!!!



Nope, i've owned every Nintendo console so far. :)



Had an N64, no console during GC period, own a Wii

I've already started catching up with the GC games I missed (while i'm waiting for some Wii games to reach Australian shores)

Wii games i'm looking forward to: Super Paper Mario, Matroid 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wii Music, Disaster: Day of Crisis, to name a few
