I don't understand why the gamers are upset with this. I mean if you wanted a wii with gamecube support and all that wouldn't you have bought it already? Wii has been pretty cheap as of late. I mean this bundle is targeting casual gamers who don't care about the gamecube at all. Thats like saying people who bought the ps2 in 2007 got it to play PSX games.

It is way too late in the Wii life for people to complain about disabled backwards compatibility. Whoever wanted a Wii that really wanted one could have gotten it way before now. This bundle was made for people who want to play WII games not people who want to play games from over 5 years ago.

For me, it's not about what we would get, but that Nintendo is taking features away for other people.

Well it seems to be happening quite often lately. Sony removed PS2 BC from the PS3, Nintendo removed the GBA slot when the DSi released, Sony is removing Wi-fi from that new PSP model (Europe only?), and now Ninty with this no GC BC Wii. Microsoft hasn't added any new xbox 1 games to the BC list in a long time, but they haven't taken anything off there either.
