4. No gimmicks: GC had no gimmicks, it didn't try to force anything new or untested on gamers. It featured a standard wired controller which I found comfortable to use. In contrast, the Wii U is forcing players to use the gamepad which many find repulsing (myself included). The new skylanders stuff that was announced is also turning me away from the console. 

There's the option to use a Wii Mote for a lot of games, but I get the point. Anyway, for me it all comes down to the games (because that's what I use consoles for) so once Nintendo stops developing first party titles for the Wii U I'll be able to decide whether I think the GC or Wii U is better. Also, isn't the Virtual Boy the worst?

I don't think it's fair to include the Virtual Boy in the calculus since it was a failed experiment and not really a mainstream console. The GC is the best comparison. 

Uhh, but the topic clearly says worst Nintendo console? Virtual Boy is a Nintendo console, so it doesn't matter if you consider it a failed experiment or not. It's still the worst. Also, I didn't say anything about the GC being a bad comparison. :/

I somehow never looked at it as a console.

Sunshine is debatable, it was indeed a controversial game, but didn't "sucked".  I certainly don't agree with you, what's next: Brawl is better than Melee and Tropical Freeze way better than the SNES trilogy?lol

Tropical Freeze is better than DKC 1 and 3 on SNES. Not way better, (they're all amazing games) but still better.

Personally I consider all the Smash Bros games to be rubbish. The physics and controls are just so freaking bad.

The thing is, GC didn't had a proper DK game since wasn't mae for rare so is a little unfair. On the smash bros side, Melee is the best of the franchise by far, followed for the first one. We'll see if wii u can match the GCN library or not, but if does it won't be a big difference that's for sure.

In my view, Mario Kart 8 will probably push Wii U above GC's library.

Tastes and preference, at the end everything goes for that =P in my view Metroid Prime alone puts GCN above of wii u.

I have to agree for now.

Different strokes for different folks, as they saying goes.

Yep, that's why it's pointless to try and say X console is better than Y console because of game library. Therefore we have to look at the hardware itself since that's objective, and, well, the Wii U clearly wins here!

Not against the competition

No, jokes aside, I agree with you =P



For me Monolith Soft X will push the Wii U well above GCN in terms of 1st party.



Im saying how can u say its a terrible console when the console is no where near done thats like saying ps4 is awful compared to ps3 just for me makes no sense i do believe wii u will have way better games im one of the few who couldnt stand double dash
