Easily the Wii. Library means everything when choosing a console...

LMAO, i think the Wii actually had worst first party than GC. DD is better than Wii version. Brawl was a MASSIVE letdown. no actaul Mario sports games, besided soccer and that crap that SE made.  Wiiwhatever are overrated IMHO. no SF no Fzero. The only thing that did improve was 2d Mario, Zelda. IMHO

If Nintendo's first party output on the GC was any good, then I, as a lifelong Nintendo fan, wouldn't have turned my back on Nintendo and gaming as a whole in disgust for 2 and a half years before the Wii came out.

this is the saddest thing I have read, selective memory?? goalposts?? I easily bought more games for GC than i did for Wii, ok I admit there were alot of multiplats but I bought them because they were better on GC. Cant say that for Wii can you, if they even get a game from the HD consoles 99% of the tiem its much worst.  Get off your high horse and/or nose candy, you think GC is the worst of Ninty consoles?? Cool I think the Wii is the worst. Dont bring your crap in like your opinino is right, save that garbage for IGN.

3rd party wasnt that bad?? Yeah it was, when your getting horrid versions of CODs, NFSs, Maddens etc. thats pretty bad, thats not even counting the many games it never received. Assassin's Creed, GTA, Street Fighter, Tekken, Batman, Fallout, Skyrim, Mass Effect. Where are they ??

And LOL that you dont care, please, if you really didnt care you wouldnt have replied and those games you mentioned arent triple A or even double, except maybe MH

Defensive nonsense at best, the saddest thing you can read is your own post, you talk about GTA and such yet the GC didn't even get them in fact the most notable third party games didn't arrive on GC which further. Firstly pull your head out your ass I don't care about your opinion on whether Brawl is better then Melee or not I replied to someone who made a silly claim about longtime gamers then you jumped up, I'm just looking at the library and the Wii pisses over the GC in a straight up comparison even if it's hard for you to swallow, I'm not the only one here who can see it either or mentioning about a two year drought. When people start bringing the imo in straight up comparisons it's an attempt to move goalposts like the way you're trying to put Brawl down yet it's one of the highest rated games of the gen and you citing your preference of DD when many people considered it the weakest MK game, fact is Wii still has games coming in it's last twos year before it's successor.

If you want to take it there we can do a straight up comparison of both consoles' libraries, you may like the Cube but it doesn't mean it has a better library your post is the perfect example of what I mentioned earlier of selective memories, people choosing to only remember what they want instead of everything, GC was by far the hardest time to only have a Nintendo home console.

Exactly it's like I'm saying people tend to display selective memories when looking back, GC wasn't a bad console in the end but it's the weakest of Nintendo's consoles and had severe issues like huge droughts, especially the two year drought at the end of it's life.

Its true that the Wii is the best system cause it can play GC games and a lot of retro games also...............BUT THATS BECAUSE GC IS THE BEST SYSTEM EVER!!!!!......

True story, I still need to buy one, I sold mine in 2007 and still feel guilty.

first at milkyjoe, honestly i could care less that you turned your back on Ninty, thats between you and them. Has no bearing on the GC which I think has a better library than Wii, that simple.

Wrydness, you wrote alot but said nothing, there is no selective memory. I bought Two games last year for WIi, TWO, and one of them was released in 2008. That IS a drought. Im buying TWO games for WIi and they both have been released in other countries for months to years. THAT is a drought, so I just covered Wii's last two years right there, now if there are more games coming this year that makes it worth it, let me know, matter of fact  dont, I think your taste in games sucks. 

Amd FYI i never said that GC was a good console on its own, for me its a great companion to PS2, Wii sucks on its own too, seeing as there is not SF, TEkken, Soul Calibur, etc. Games I actually would want to play. Its an even worst companion than GC, at least the GC multiplats ran better. Honestly it sounds like you are a sheep and you cant think for yourself; "i like this console because its the most popular and safe to like, tee hee" please. Grow up, I like DD better than WIi, Brawl had HORRIBLE online which is a no no for a fighter released this gen, LOL at highest rated score, funny how people use that argument when it suits them. Grow up



BTW, how can you move goalposts in your OWN opinion. If I dont like something, I simply dont like it. Lunacy

Looks who's talking about saying nothing all I've seen from you is backtracking and you hiding behind the opinion card, you bought two games last year well guess what 2 games is the total GC had in it's final two years, even in 2011 I bought 3 games released in EU in Zelda,, Xenoblade and Kirby and this year I've bought TLS and Rhythm Heaven with Project Zero 2 and Pandora still to come that's 6 games (3 times more then the GC had). Just because you don't want to buy them doesn't discount them which is why I call BS on your whole stuck up stance, I didn't base my choices on opinion I based it on straight up comparisons and GC comes out behind.

It's even funnier that you're already trying to downplay scores another attempt at moving goalposts, guess what kiddo it's not about being a companion console or what not I'm looking at library how each console stands on it's own and whether it hurts your family honour that the GC is the weakest in that regards is too bad. So you think my taste in games sucks supposidley and want to ignore review scores and you're trying to tell other people to grow up yet you tell someone you don't care what they did during the GC because it goes againsts what you like after going on about your opinion sorry it's time for you to look in the mirror on that one and the GC would still fall short if we ignored reviews, notice how you backtrack and don't want to compare libraries then claim people are sheep because they don't share your view on your beloved GC as it's your only path in trying to gain ground.

It's all well and good saying Wii didn't get what ever but guess what GC didn't get much either it's situation was far worse so it's time for you to get off your high horse, anyone complaining of droughts on the Wii then brings up GC is quite frankly having a laugh.
