I had a nightmare last night: Nintendo announced Mario Sunshine 2 as Wii U's 3D Mario

If they were actually targeting the GCN fanbase, the Wii U would be at least as powerful if not more so than Ps4/720, we'd have some actual "core" games and games showing off cutting edge graphics like Rogue Squadron 4, and 3rd parties wouldn't be running for the hills from it so soon.

Factor 5 is dead, and I don't know if Disney would allow that game to exist. Retro Studios would be a good contender for showing off the Wii U graphical capabilities, unless they are working on something like Donkey Kong.

I know that, the point I was making was that the GC was arguably the most powerful system of its gen right out of the gate and featured games that blew just about everything else at the time away save for maybe Halo, unlike the Wii U which for 2 generations now seems just slightly better than current gen hardware in the visuals department.  The Wii U is no GCN.
