"Zero to little" more power than the gamecube? Have you even bothered to look at the wii's hardware specs or play any of its higher end games?

I see it more as a bonus. Obviously you can choose between the controllers (if it's not a fake picture, of course)
No iFlower7, being able to choose your controller isn't a bonus, its proof the Wii is the Gamecube. Thank god Mario Kart came along or else this dark truth may have gone unknown. Wii gamers have been duped, you've been forced to buy a Gamecube twice, how could Nintendo have done this to us. I bet the Wii isn't even as powerful as the 360 or PS3. Call it a gut instict but I'm sure someday we'll have proof of that too.

Why did people start to say that the Wii is two Gamecubes duct taped together? |
Coz it are some retarded fanboys?
Sony have been using the same tired old controller for years.
Some people prefer to use a gamecube controller for reitterations of franchises that they learned to play with a classic remote.
Remember, control options are GOOD for games. They drive up review scores.

You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Only one company knows the real technical spec of the Wii I suppose. That company (Nintendo) mentioned way back when that it was roughly twice as powerful as the Gamecube. I could try to dig up the quote but it came from before the name was even announced.
This argument is like saying PS3 or 360 are nothing different from their predecessors simply because the controllers are pretty much the same.
The Wii has had Classic controllers available for VC and various Wii games since day 1...the GC controller has become another option because people obviously like the controller.
Look at SMG, MP3, Brawl, etc, and tell me with a straight face that the Gamecube could do that...it can't. Also Wii DVDs are much bigger than GC discs...online capabilities, some flash memory, plenty more...people need to go back to Gamecube and see how much better the Wii is.
Here's a Melee/Brawl comparison...in case you forgot how much weaker the Gamecube typically was:

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
StarcraftManiac said: This, my folks, is a picture from the online component of Mario Kart Wii. Green A-button and red B-button (see arrows) suggests that Mario Kart Wii uses the Gamecube-controller. For the Wii version has white A and B buttons. So this leaves me with the question: If Wii has (zero to little) more power than the Gamecube, and the controller is the innovative part (which i digg, don't forget that) why support the Gamecube-controller. Then they just could've stick with the Gamecube... But this time around, we have a good looking Gamecube with online and that's actually selling well! But c'mon Nintendo; If the graphics are the same as last gen and i have to keep playing it with a Gamecube controller i might as well just stick with me old Cube...
I'm not hating on Nintendo right now but they are the ones who should actually make sure their controller works in their games and not make it a Gamecube 1.5 game with online. Give the good example Nintendo! |
You made a lot of mistakes in a short amount of time. Rol basically already hit them, but...
