| superchunk said: Mostly agree. Where I disagree is: 1. It will launch last or tied for last. 2. It will not cost more than $250. 3. Name would probably be more of Wii+ or WiiHD to keep popular name but demonstrate enhanced capabilities. Additions: 1. It will have ~20GB internal flash memory, expandable by latest SD technology. 2. GC games will transition to VC and it won't play GC games, only Wii for BC. 3. Its controllers will be fully BC with Wii contollers, however they won't be the same or even simply WM+ built-in. Definitely much more advanced. |
I disagree with the bolded part. GC and Wii hardware is so similar that I can't see one being BC and not the other. Sure, it would allow Ninty to sell GC games again, but if they did include GC BC (heh), it would garner a lot of good will for negligible costs. I say, if Wii is BC then GC will be too. Furthermore, if it isn't, then I predict a hacked firmware that reenables GC BC almost immediately.
