Wii 2 will use Blu-ray media, won't play BD/DVD movies, and will still have Wii backwards compatibility, but not GameCube.   GC games will be added to the Virtual Console though (for $15 each).

Fuck that. I would just skip out on it.

I don't want to rebuy my GCN games!

Then keep your GCN/Wii.  Nintendo's not going to keep paying for those memory card/controller ports and dual optical drive when so few people really demand it.  Hell, if there's a Wii revision, I expect them to drop GCN playback to shave costs.

Look at the GB Micro, DSi, or other handhelds... Nintendo's backwards compatibility only tends to go so far.
