Wii won this gen. No biggie in grand scheme.

Like if someone (casual buyer INDEED!!!!) that buys the Wii 5 year after it release is going to pay attention of this: "Oh no i better not buy it, i cannot play Mario Dance Mix on it!"

Give me a break!!!

That too.

The Gamecube slots are for me one of the great thing that the Wii had. The GC pad was simply great and I use it in all games where I had rather play with a classic pad like Mario Kart and Smash bros.

B/C is not a want at this point, anyone who was looking for that has a Wii by now, or is looking to the next gen. The biggest concern I think most people would have is price and bundled games, I know I am..... that said I do have a GameCube so B/C was never a big deal.

for the core fans that have yet to pick up a Wii for GC for BC then to bad. that ship has sailed and you missed it.

You sir have never heard of eBay :P

Actually I stand corrected... there were a couple of articles over the summer that said the upcoming Wii redesigns were allegedly going to drop the built-in WiFi in addition to the Gamecube b/c, but upon further research I haven't been able to confirm if this is actually the case, as no websites or product listings say that the Wii no longer has WiFi, only that they've eliminated GC b/c and that it no longer comes with a stand as the system lays flat.

only people who had the GC care about GC BC and thats 24m! Wii is at 89+m so anyone who had the GC and still care about Nintendo would most likely own the old Wii model by now

lol
