| SlyFoxDeveraux said: I get the lack-of-Gamecube complaint in theory, but not in practice. If you're super dedicated to the Gamecube and want the ability to play that console on your system... and are only buying a Wii now in 2013 after it's been on the market for 7 years... who are you exactly? I don't believe for a second the kind of people who still have all these Gamecube games they still want to be able to play are also people who haven't already had a Wii for years. Wii's life cycle is already over and Gamecube's is long over. Should Nintendo really be expected to provide users a way to play games on a console from 12 years ago? Were you pissed off in 2003 that you had no way to play your Super Nintendo games on a console out now? No. If it's that important to you, just find a used Gamecube or Wii. It will be easy to do - it's like 30 bucks on eBay. Problem solved. |
I agree with you regarding the ability to play Gamecube games, but I still think it's a poor redesign of the Wii; the lack of component compatibility makes it a no buy for any non-casual gamer.
