| Joelcool7 said: Exactly , WaveRace, EternalDarkness , F-Zero, Donkey Kong , StarFox, Pikmin could go on and on with great first party franchises availible on GameCube but totally forgotten on Wii. Endless ocean is a fairly successful new franchise and the Wii franchise is also fairly successful. But they do not make up for the total lack of first party software. Now someone else mentioned MarioKartWii being better then DoubleDash. I beg to differ I preffered Double Dash multiplayer to the online in Wii any day. That being said I think MarioKartDs beat both because it had the best multiplayer modes from DoubleDash and Wii. Then others said Brawl Beats Melee. I'd say personally I liked both games alot and at the time of Melee I think I had just as much fun playing Melee as I did Brawl. The online mode in Brawl sucked monkey balls, the inclusion of a better single player mode with co-op definatly made the game better today. However I would say Melee was pretty good. Try to explain to me anyone how the Wii missing like five key first party franchises, with several poorer sequals to the other franchises can possibly be considered a superior system? Just look at my comparisons above and tell me how the Wii possibly out performs the GameCube as a first party platform. Now some would argue the Wii is not a first party platform like the GameCube was. I have to admit I own more third party Wii games then I did GameCube. But even the third party GameCube games (Sonic) was better on GameCube then on Wii. I just can't see how anyone can claim the Wii has a better first party catalogue then the GameCube. You have to be a total casual gamer to be blinded that badly. The Wii is a casual console while the GameCube was a more hardcore console. The Wii mom's grandma's daughters and grandpa's play for about an hour a week. Some kids may play their Wii's 5-hours a week or so. The GameCube was a console that appealed to the fans it had every Nintendo franchise known to man almost and represented the franchises well. This is a case of new gamers versus old gamers and then the hardcore fanboys. The new Gamers love WiiSports, WiiPlay, WiiFit, WiiMusic...etc...etc.. while the older fans enjoy Donkey Kong, F-Zero , Starfox, WaveRace , 1080 ,Pokemon , PaperMario etc...etc... then theirs the Nintendo fanboys who love anything Nintendo does and will always back the latest Nintendo platform. Which are you? a fanboy, new/casualgamer or old school gamer who enjoys Nintendo's established franchises? |
I am all of the above, and I happen to have enjoyed the Wii more (and spent a hell of a lot more time on it) than my GameCube, N64 and megadrive before it.
Guess what, people enjoy Wii Sports, more so Wii Sports Resort... Wii play is short and sweet, but it's also cheap. I am not interested in Wii Fit myself, but many people on this site enjoy it, some even enjoy Wii Music and believe me the percent of this website that are "casual" gamers by most criteria is tiny.
People have different opinions, which is what I was getting at in replying to you, I happen to think Donkey Kong should have been killed off as a franchise during the N64s time, and that the only decent Starfox game is Starfox Adventures... and I will admit I am in the minority for those opinions, just as you are in the minority in believing the GC to have a superior library to the Wii.
While I am here:
MKWii >>> MK:DD >>>>>>>>> MKDS >>>>>> MK64
F-Zero X >>>>> F-Zero GX >>>>>>>>>>>>> F-Zero
Windwaker >> Majora's Mask >> Twilight Princess >> OoT
My three favourite franchises, Wii bests one, GC bests one and N64 bests one. (and I can play all these barring MKDS on the Wii anyway)

Also your game collection says you have(had?) 23 GC games and 19 Wii games (wheras in your post you claimed 30 1st party GC games, and 13 Wii games in total) the GC being low could easily be put down to the list not being updated, but you have played more Wii games than you said.
