For the Wii BC the Premium comes with a sensor bar, that's missing from the Basic and I don't know if other VC Wii games launch from USB. For the Trilogy (or perhaps Wii games in general) the file size is the problem if the games don't launch properly from USB, as the Basic model is left only with 3GB or so of free space after system updates, so you can't fit Wii games in the internal memory. 

Wii U's Virtual Console pales in comparison to Wii's but you can access the Wii VC in the Wii mode of the console. 

How am I writing off the Switch port? I also don't understand your question, why would dual analog be going anywhere, they've shown it's still there in the Switch trailer. It's motion that we don't yet know about. Also even with the gyro on you're still using dual analog.

I didn't mean just you, I'm talking in general. I shoulda specified the type of game where the vast majority use the standard control scheme being console shooters of course, but it still holds true that basically everyone knows how to use that set-up. I don't know what the later two games are but Metroid Prime is definitely not a fast paced multiplayer shooter and if the other two games are like it then they're not a good comparison either. My explanation still holds for why Wiimote controls wouldn't work for Splatoon, that's most likely the reason they weren't an option.

I don't think NES/SNES + GB days will ever happen for Nintendo again. It was a long time ago. It's sad but I've mostly accepted that. 

They'll never have that kind of market sway again I don't think. 

Take 25 years. Now add that to you current age and think about how old you'll be. If you're 26-27, that means you'll be over 50 years old. That's a long time, we just don't realize it in certain contexts (ie: the NES/SNES era feels like "yesterday" but it was a long, long time ago). It's been like 23-24 years since the SNES was in its prime days, that's a long time ago. 

If you're a Nintendo fan but you don't remember or missed out on the late 80s/early-to-mid 1990s ... you missed out unfortunately. That was really a magical time. 

As in explain what any of that has to do with the Switch and you being shocked a good looking product isn't getting hate. Plus honestly, some of your reasons for Wii being hated (since when btw, I've seen far more hate for Wii U) don't make sense to me. Nintendo has nothing to do with Sony's dumb mistakes or Microsoft leaving videogames which didn't even happen. Hating Nintendo for temporarily making certain types of games is also pretty weak when they (and everyone else) were still making traditional games. I think it's just the irrational people that hate Nintendo no matter what who hated the Wii for those reasons, and they'll hate on the Switch aswell. Reasonable people would atleast give the Switch a chance so it makes sense to me that they aren't hating on it, atleast not yet!

Nintendo is selling Wii U delux with Nintendo Land for 200 on ebay right now.

I misread your comment on the second screen, you weren't writing the Switch port off.

No, you don't have to use dual analog with the gyro, it works better without it.

Yes, Wii Remote+Nunchuck would work much better than the current methods available. There is no Wii Remote+Nunchuck option because nobody cared to put it there - if you read the Iwata asks, it's pretty clear nobody ever considered the option. How many inputs you need in Splatoon? You need jump, dive, shoot (1st weapon, 2nd weapon), move, aim. On Wii Remote+nunchuck you have a total of ten buttons, analog stick, pointer and two motion controllers available. Pointer aiming do not require a valibration button, unlike motion controls.

Metroid Prime isn't multiplayer game, but it had it's fair share of fast-paced action. Water Warfare is Hudsons shooter (with online multiplayer when Wii still had online, and my most playr online shooter ever) and Onslaught is Hudsons arcade FPS (it had online competetive mode) - and all are atleast as fast paced as Splatoon. I find it ironic to promote dual analog at the same time calling Wii Remote controls slow.

So, what do you think is Switch's standard control method? I mean, you can play with just one mini-controller. 

Oh I think I know what you mean, yeah Splatoon for Switch will not have a second screen so it wont play the same. Doesn't mean the game will be anymore Wiimote friendly though, especially since no second screen likely means the game will use more of the controller's buttons.

Nah you kinda have to, otherwise you can't move and would run into a similar problem as the Wiimote, being slow turning of the camera.

They'd work better because... you say so? Just saying so doesn't change the camera issues and lack of inputs. I doubt the developers really didn't think about it considering Nintendo generally includes as many control options as possible in their games, but eh doesn't matter either way. You need a screen on the controller, which Wiimotes don't have. I could just leave it at that, but also Wiimote+Nunchuck would fit every button except for one, as the 1 and 2 buttons aren't viable inputs. There's main weapon, sub weapon, special weapon, squid form, jump, and center camera, 6 actions that need to be immediately accessible, but MoteChuck set-up only has 5 inputs that fit the bill, being A, B, C, Z, and maybe down on the D-pad but that's a stretch.

Ironic or not, dual analog is better for camera control. With the Wiimote you have to point at the edges of the screen before the camera starts to turn, that's simply slower than tilting a stick for immediate effect.

Switch's primariy controls will just be the same as every system besides the Wii. They already showed BotW, Skyrim, and Splatoon, games that can't be played on a single controller attachment.

Nah, people will hate regardless of how good is what Nintendo shows. I bet most specs-related hate will continue and the haters will keep making doom threads about how the Switch is dead without western third party support, they will point out even the smallest graphics-related flaws they can find, some Nintendo fans will continue being bitter about how Nintendo is not making another "real" home console, some will say "too many remasters", etc, etc.

The Genesis and SNES were the same console. They were the PS4 and Xbox One of the early 90's. When the SNES released, it was basically an NES on steroids. It was vanilla in so much as it simply followed the Genesis's blue prints which in turn, followed the NES's blue prints. It didn't do or attempt to do what the Wii or Wii U did. It was chasing the red ocean, not the blue one.

The SNES outclassed the Genesis in every way possible. Except for clock speed. But the SNES had FX chips to combat this if necessary. They weren't the same. They didn't share the same huge 3rd party games like PS4 and Xbox One do today. You wouldn't have Final Fantasy VI on SNES and Genesis like you have FFXV on PS4 and Xbox One. The Genesis would butcher the colors due to its limited on screen color capability.  The sound was garbage for the most part, etc. The only thing I'm trying to say I guess, is that the market has changed since the 90's. Simply making another vanilla console to compete today isn't going to work. Especially when there's 2 of the same console already on the market. Even if you do say SNES and GEN were the same (which they really aren't) it was still only 2 consoles competing. There was a third, turbografx, and it bombed. The market was too crowded.
