Lol, I don't know who hates me more for this thread. Sony fans who want to say Wii U is the next Gamecube or Nintendo fans who want to say there was nothing wrong with Gamecube. LMAO!

Hasn't it occured to you yet that you are simply wrong and no personal bias of other users can affect that? I think it speaks volumes.

Absolutely not.  Not a single person has made a letitimate argument to say that Wii U is anything like Gamecube.  Nintendo fans have said gamecube is great and it's games were great and I"m mean and shallow.  Sony fans have said Wii U sucks and it's not going to sell and it's a flawed system.  But no one has shown that Wii U's philosophy or it's exclusive games are like Gamecube's games.  The systems, the launch situation, the strategy, everything about the systems are polar oposites.  The results may or may not be the same, but the systems are completely different from each other, and no one has shown otherwise.  They have just bashed Wii U and it's chances or bashed my shallow view on gamecube.

Some of the posts on this thread from both sides are quite rational and spark good discussion.  Others, like your's, are just blinded by fandom and add no value at all.

We have, it's just that you refuse to accept them. GCN wasn't cool, it had the best hardware for the core gamer, but looked like a toy and had games looking a bit childish on the surface - nobody was excited about it. Wii U isn't cool either, it's hardware is a joke and no core gamer is excited about it, which is a huge problem, considering the casuals are done with home consoles for now. It's the same story. Nintendo has no target audience with either console. Everyone knows who will be buying PS4, who will be buying X720. But who is the target of the Wii U? Nobody really. The only people who are going to buy it are the Nintendo faithful, just like it was with GCN.

So you agree with me that the premise of Wii U is pretty much the opposite of Gamecube?  Thank you.

It doesn't matter if you fall on your face because you trip over a stone with your right foot or your left one. Nintendo has made the same mistake just approached it a bit differently, but it doesn't matter, cause the outcome is exactly the same.

 

Also, you keep saying that GCN had cartoony games and that was bad, but Wii U won't have them. Guess what? The games that are coming are Pikmin 3 (a typical cartoony GCN game), Wind Waker HD (still as cartoony as it was) and a totally new IP in Wonderful 101 (another cartoony game). Also so far the biggest release apart from 2D Mario is... a LEGO game. So far Wii U library looks more like GCN 2 than Wii, don't you think?

Seriously, do you know how to read?  I said Mario was called sunshine and Link was a toon.  Cartoon games are fine.  The big core games, 3D Mario and Zelda, need to appeal to more than children. On GC they did not, on Wii they did.  I expect those titles to follow the Wii template more than GC.

I know how to read, do you? You say Zelda WW was a toon and now please explain to me how the first Wii U Zelda - Zelda Wind Waker HD is not going to be a toon? I don't care what you expect and dream about at night, the fact is the next Zelda is going to be a GCN toon and a real HD Zelda TP style may come in 3-4 years if ever. Where is this huge change you were talking about? I don't know if the next Mario is going to be a Sunshine again, but looking as they are coming back to Luigi's Manshion it actually seems possible...
