Same reason most eople are -- because Mario, Mario Kart, DKC, Star Fox, Zelda, F-Zero, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Punch-Out! Advance Wars, WaveRace, are some of my favorite game franchises period. Y'know like the actual games that built Nintendo's business for over 20+ years. Those ones.

Wii Sports or Wii Fit don't even register in my top 30 favorite Nintendo games, and I'd say that's probably true for a lot of actual Nintendo fans.

I don't give two craps if the Wii would have sold 300 million units, it was a short term bubble that was bound to burst built largely on the backs of an audience that doesn't actually appreciate real games and all it did was encourage most developers to flood the system with bottom-of-the-barrel party/dance/fitness game crap.

I'll take one Resident Evil 4 or even Turok: Dinosaur Hunter over a bazillion Just Dance or Zumba Fitness Party or whatever.

But if you are still a fan of those games, then the Wii couldn't have been as bad as you describe it all the time.

I'm not saying it was bad, I just didn't see any tangiable benefit to us loyal Nintendo fans with the Wii.

Instead of getting a new Star Fox, Wave Race, F-Zero, etc. those franchises were put on ice and we were given Wii Music/Party/etc.

Gamecube didnt get Kirby, Donkey Kong or Punch-Out but Wii did, that kinda cancels out ur Star Fox, Wave Race, F-Zero argument.

The Wii also had an extra year of life cycle over the GameCube. It should have more games overall.

Those games didnt come out in Wii final year so thats kinda irrelevent
