1) Virtual Console: Where the hell is GoldenEye 007? Where is Majora's Mask? Where is Road Rash 64? WHERE THE HELL ARE THE N64 GAMES IN GENERAL?!?! COME ON!!

2) USB 2.0 ports: They are there why the hell can't I save files onto a USB Memory Stick? Why can't I print pictures off of the Photo Channel? Why are they even there to begin with?!?

3) Photo Channel: Why can't QuickTime movies play in that p.o.s Photo Channel even though it says they can play? Why can't I play .mp3 files like I used to be able to?

4) Ethernet Port: WHY ISN'T THERE ONE ON HERE?!

5) Why can't I save Wii files to a GameCube memory card?

6) Why aren't all my GameCube accessories compatible with the Wii?

7) Why is the system made of cheap-as-a-whore plastic?

8) Why can't games load more quickly? It is the successor to the 'Cube after all

9) Why isn't there any voice chat?

10) Why are the controllers way over-priced?

11) Where the hell are the good games? What happened to Disaster? And Project HAMMER? And Pikmin 3?

12) Since when does "Third Party Support" equate to "Shovelware"?

So you're going back to Gamecube based on these bullet points?   All too easy.

 

1. GoldenEye 007 has IP and license issues that will prevent it from ever seeing a VC release.  N64 gmaes can take up to 32 MB's each so they are withholding their release until the mass storage solution is dealt with.

2. They have plenty of use for peripherals, keyboards, mice, etc...  Does the GC have USB ports for storage?

3. I'm playing both.  Upgrade your firmware or something.   Does the GameCube allow MP3's and MOV's to be played on it?

4. Wi-Fi, ever hear of it?  Did you see what was required to use the GameCube ehternet port and how many games did it support?

5. Different file formats.  How does this dimish your Wii gaming experience?

6. Not all legacy peripherals can be supported with future standards.  This goes for all electronics.

7. Mine fell from 4 feet up and still played the disc insde and nothing broke.   Must be a tough whore.  Perhaps you should take better care of your Wii.  Again, how is this diminishing yrou Wii expereince?

8. Many titles are PS2 ports which unfortunately carry over load times.  It's also a change from the mini-DVD format to the full DVD9 format.   The larger size disc means the laser must move around more.

9. It's already in development.  They are waiting to implement a new mass storage device plus sign a contract with a blue tooth headset provider.   Besides, did GameCube offer voice chat?

10. You might want to do some research on what goes into those controllers.  They have accelerometer, IR sensors, RAM, peripheral adapters, Blu Tooth and more.

11. There are plenty of good games with more on the way.  GameCubes first year or two wasn't explosive either.

12. Stop looking at the bad half of the 3rd party support and look at the good half.  You must have missed all the shovelware on the NES, SNES, PS, PS2, GB, DS and PC.
