Without a shadow of a doubt, It is the Nintendo Wii.

Too much casually, the poor capabilities that makes it technologically a 6th gen console, not a lot of good 3rd party games and that goddamn WiiMote!!


sorry but you can;t argue against The LEgend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword, The Mario Galaxy Series, SIn &Punishment, Wii Sports Series, Wii Fit, New Super MArio Bros, Metroid Other M, Xenoblade Chronicles, The LAst Story, Monster Hunter Tri, Sonic Colors, No More Heroes, and the list goes on. For every taste, every gamer, for everyone, not just dark games for wanna-be-mature gamers. 

but Wii really didnt have those so it didnt have everything for every gamer. matter of fact where were the fighting games? they had like 2 good ones, where were the WRPGs. Im a huge fan of fighting games personally and i can say that Wii failed in that department, so it didnt have something for everyone.


You think so? It had Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Guilty Gear XX, SSBB, DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2/3, KoF Collection, Naruto Clash of Ninja, MK Armageddon and Castlevania Judgment(which was great, IMO). Of course, PS3 and 360 had more, but it's not like they had THAT many fighters. Also, the best DBZ and Naruto fighting games of this generation are on the Wii.

Re: GC vs Wii 1st party

You guys are entitled to your opinions but here's mine:

SMG 1&2 >>> Sunshine
Mario Kart Wii >>> DD
Zelda: SS >>> Zelda: WW
Metroid Trilogy >>> Metroid 1&2 and I liked Other M
Kirby Epic Yarn/Kirby Return/Kirby Dream Collection >>> ________
Brawl > Melee
DKCR >>> DK: JB

Endless Ocean / Blue World

Wii Sports/Wii Fit/Wii Sports Resort

Xenoblade/The Last Story/Fatal Frame/Pandora's Tower

NSMBWii

I absolutely count Trilogy because for me the IR aiming and motions make the games so much more fun to play. For that matter Pikmin 1&2 are better on Wii as well but I'm not really a fan of Pikmin. Or Starfox, F-Zero or Waverace.

The only GC game I'd say was better was Mario Strikers. I found Strikers Charged to be too unbalanced.

I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge Eternal Darkness but while I own it, I haven't gotten a chance to play it. 

But really I found most of the great GC games were made better on Wii because of superior controls (except maybe Mario Tennis). But that's just my opinion

nah i went on youtube and searched Starfox Adventures review and found this video

 

he tried to criticise the combat and compared it to Zelda so that's why i said that

 

and so this --> If you want to compare it, to say, rare's N64 collectathon's, okay then, my criticisms remain the same.

^^what exactly do you mean by that?

 

Edit: ..these quote trees..

I meant that eveen if the comparison is against Banjo Kazooie/Tooie and DK64 instead of against Zelda, I still feel Starfiox Adventures comes up short.


Have you lost your damn mind?!

Banjo Kazooie and Tooie were worlds ahead of Starfox Adventures in terms of structure and design. Even DK64 was a cut above. Their puzzles and worlds were more well thought out, and there was a creativity altogether lacking in Adventures. They also didn't suffer its identity crisis.

No they weren't

Starfox Adventures had the better and well thought out puzzles. Starfox Adventures also had the bigger world. The world was better connected aswell

The puzzles in Adventures were really dull, I never really had to stop and think, and I never felt that feeling of "oh, that's clever, it tickles my brain to see it come together like that."

And its world was bigger, yes, but also less interesting. In Banjo each world had interesting features and challenges  around almost every corner, while in Adventures the world design was really uninspired.

...dude...I could go on and on about this.

It was the core Nintendo console. It didnt have as many hits as the N64....but in library quality it was more powerful than the Wii ever was in the quality that was there in all. The gamecube was a victim of a childish image that has always plagued Nintendo and Nintendos disc choice which carried less on it than the PS2 and Xbox warding third parties mostly away. You might have liked the Wii more, but compared to the Gamecube its library was disaster. Gamecube used no gimmicks and might  have been held back by its childish lunchbox design but it profited. Nintendos consoles are always affordable to make, but bthe Wii U was the least affordable.

Starfox Adventures had the better puzzles.  i never felt that "oh, that's clever, it tickles my brain to see it come together like that." with Banjo and Donky Kong. I felt that way with Starfox more than them

 

and Banjo had to have the least interesting worlds out of all the Rare Adventure games on N64.

 

Starfox Adventures > DK64 > Banjo Kazooie overall

 

Starfox Adventures was a beast. idk what the fuck you're talking about..

Dude, I could go on and on as well. The Wii's library handily beats the GCN's. As a core gamer, I sunk easily twice as much gaming time into my Wii as my GCN, simply because there were more quality games.

The puzzles of adventures didn't require thought. It was just "find 3 obviously placed cogs" type stuff. Add in worlds virtually devoid of interesting features, one-dimensional combat, and horribly shallow flying sequences, and you have a dud of a game.

The only good thing about Starfox Adventures was its stellar graphics.

Agreed.  The Wii was better than the Gamecube in pretty much every possible way.

Those were great games but I was talking about the library. The majority of the Wii's library was terrible and the gamecubes librarand the y like the N64 was small compared to their respective playstations but they stood proud. When I was younger the N64 was the flawless core Nintendo console and even that wasnt as successful but it sold a little bit more than the Gamecube. The biggest breath of fresh air to the Wii lineup was xenoblade chronicles but again I already played Xenosaga on the Playstation so when they were actually selling well. No doubt the Wii had a handful of good games though.
