Honestly I think that Nintendo needs to abandon everything Wii and Wii U related. Including VC and controllers. I don't care what they call it, but it can't be called Virtual Console. It needs a new brand and a fresh start. Abandon the whole thing. I really hope that NX doesn't have BC. The only thing from the Wii/Wii U era that can make it to NX should be the pro controller. And even then it needs upgrades to make it use the standards for controls today.

If Nintendo drags the Wii U along its only gonna be an anchor around its neck. Start fresh Nintendo!

(and yes I'm a lifetime Nintendo fan.)


100% disagree. Cutting features and content would greatly devalue the NX. It's the exact opposite of what they should do. Not only should they keep the Virtual Console, but they need to leverage the content, and greatly expand upon it. Nintendo's backlog use is hugely I mportant to millions of gamers.


I don't think it will be good. I'm not saying that they shouldn't sell their old games digitally. I'm just waying they need to knock it off with the Gamecube brand, Wii brand, Wii U brand, VC brand, and all its peripherals. There is ways it can still do it. They  just need to cut all that extra stuff out like all the peripherals. Nintendo needs to keep things streamlined and accessible for all players. Stuff like Wiimotes, Nunchucks, Classic Controllers, Classic Controller Pros, Gamepads, Gamecube Adapters, Gamecube controllers, Wii U Pro Controllers, steering wheels  etc. etc. all just add to the system and its costs and makes it way more inconvenient.

They need to make a unified control scheme just like they will be unifying their handheld and console games and use that controller to play those old games. More peripherals like they have been doing for the last couple generations and they will be fragmenting their user base once again. Its just another one of those things that ends up turning off core gamers. They just wanna grab their controller, and play. And in this sense I agree.
