The newest Wii DDR game shows why GC-less Wii sucks.

For the WiiU I understand if it doesn't get backwards compatibility fo GC games because it's 2 generations old. I know some people would want to, but not the majority of them. Also you can always play GC games on old wii's and GC consoles.
For the wii to remove the gamecube compatibility it doesn't makes much sense IF they are the exact same price as the old wii, however I read (and I was almost sure) the new design without compatibility was cheaper than the old wii's but I don't know in my country the price is the same if not expensive just because "it's a new model"
