I think Wii U will pull even with the GameCube by generation's end.

No it doesn't have Resident Evil or Metroid or Animal Crossing ...

BUT it has Splatoon, Bayonetta 1/2, Xenoblade, and Mario Maker + NSMB (2D Mario) ... something the GameCube didn't have.

Mario 3D World, Smash U, DKC: TF, Mario Kart 8 are also equal or better than their equivalents on the GameCube.

If Zelda U is better than Wind Waker, IMO that tips the scales in favor of the Wii U. 

Trumpeting niche titles like Bayonetta and Xenoblade is like including Tales of Symphonia, Baiten Kaitos, and Evolution Worlds in Gamecube section (even though you can argue Tales of had a greater impact than any of the 5 I mentioned).

No.

Firstly, you seem to be positing that until now Gamecube was the worst games console of all time, as you keep comparing the Wii U to the Gamecube. This would be a very dumb premise to begin with. I think people have listed all the horrible consoles there have been over the years, e.g. the Jaguar, 3DO, CDi etc. Even something like the Saturn is surely worse than the Gamecube.


You state that like it is a fact. I don't understand how so many gamers have zero appreciation for Sega consoles. The Saturn had Panzer Dragoon Saga, Radiant Silvergun, Dragon Force, Guardian Heroes, Nights into Dreams and so many other classic games that I would certainly put it in the same league as the GameCube.

As someone who was a Sega kid, I certainly appreciate Sega's consoles. The Saturn just didn't do it for me like the Mega Drive and the Dreamcast did. Never did, though I won't lie that the lack of a full Sonic game on the thing really put a downer on it for me.

Whatever the case, I wouldn't put the Saturn, the Gamecube or the Wii U as the worst console of all time - not by a long shot.

No, its not. CD-i, Jaguar, 3DO, etc pop to mind.


First 2 I'd give you, but 3DO? The birth of Need for Speed (spectacular when it came out pre Saturn/PS1), first ever 3D FIFA and some other pretty spectacular games?  Shut the front door! :p

It was the future when it released, pity nobody could see that it was only going to be the future for about 12 months.

I think this thread makes you uncomtable because the thought is up in the air. Some people are not brave enough to verbalize it-nintendo has made their worst console. Also is this how you deal with conflict by saying "lock it" I don't want to see it, when someone doesn't share your perspective? I read your post above where you say that the Wii U has a better library than the GCN, yet other posters had said this is not the case and provided evidence about it like comparing Sunshine with 3D land. Yet I don't see you adressing them, so who is ignoring the evidence? Instead you are relying on personal attacks against my thread  calling it one of the worst of all time. As opposed to defending your ideas when someone disagrees.

 

What? There are more people pointing to Wii U having a better library and you ignore them as you ignored my post. You only find legitimacy in their opinion because they agree with you? Laughable.

Uncomfortable? No, not the least bit. I just find this thread pointless at this point. Wii U is not the worst console of all time by far. Not even close. You won't change your mind on it... So what? Who cares? Just becasue you say it doesn't make it true. It just shows how ridiculous this thread has been. 

 

Sunshine? Mario Sunshine was trash. The only mario game I never bothered to beat. I loved the gamecube for its library as well, I love my Wii U even more.

Something tells me you don't even own a Wii U. Do you own the console?

Edit: If you're going to go by opinions posted in your own thread, there are far more that agree with me. Most don't think it was the worst console. Are you going to ignore every one that doesn't share your opinion?

I think wii U is a solid console for ninty fans.
it has better mario kart and smash than wii, complete unexpetec thinks like bayonetta and splatoon. the DK game is a extreme evolution from the wii one. and for me 3d wolrd is in the same level as galaxies.
i loved xenoblade, no more heroes and the SS zelda on wii. we are getting games like these until the end of its life.
I played lots of indies i didnt play on wii

Not at all, Wii U is one of my favorite consoles of all time.

No it's not, it's a great console, but Nintendo should give up on the gamepad the way Microsoft did with kinect.


No 

std controler with touch screen > std controler 

The touch screen actually makes the controler better (think features), how could you not see that, even cars are coming with touch screens as std for all the added potential let alone that phones have added that feature for a long time now, and we wont go back to old phones any time soon

How am I ignoring my critics? I am actually answering to them. A a poster above mentioned the Gamecube had Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia for anyone who wanted to bring up Bayonetta. He is actually comparing the library unlike you and other people who simply rely on attacks against me or my thread. Who says I won't change my mind? How are you making this assumption? I am pretty open minded, if you or someone else proves that the Vita(or other consoles within the big 4) is inferior to the Wii U I would accept that. Yet only one person has brought up the Vita and I thought he had a decent point. (I answered to this person instead of ignoring him.) Also it's irrelevant if I own the console or not as I could evaluate a product simply by searching for its library and the quality of its games. Unlike you I don't have highly subjective opinions of games to even qualify a game as "thrash"based on your own limited perspective. I have informed views on games- just check metacritic and see how some critics are calling Mario Sunshine a 'masterpiece' and how it has it a overall 92 rating.
