Every new iteration (by Nintendo) is better than the last in many gamers eyes. On top of that, third parties are finally catching up. As much as I loved my GC, a lot of the ways Nintendo tried to take some of the franchises confused me. I hated Sunshine and never really got into WW.

I'm the envy of all my friends with my Wii. They all have 360's and always want to come over and play MK instead. The exact opposite would've been said last gen.

The Gamecube is my favorite console, but the Wii is a worthy successor.

First, Ninty did not make SSBB, a second party did. Next, most of the points from 1-12 are utter bullcrap since it keeps the Wii an affordable, playable system. Also, your Wii is a heaping pile of crap for having so many faults. Sell it on eBay and get a new one.

Does anyone know where I can get my sarcasm meter fixed? 'Cause it's not beeping on this thread, but...

Well if thats how you really feel go to your PC and cube thats your oppinion
and I can see you might be disappointed I do believe there are enough good games to keep you busy and it plays gamecube games I dont know about peripherals for the GC you need to work on your wii??

Its to bad about guitar hero you should complain and try to get another disk

but ya more aaa titles that are not nintendo in house game are needed!

1) The rights to Goldeneye are owned by Rare, who are in turn owned by Microsoft. As for the rest, so a few games that you like aren't up there yet. Boo hoo, cry more.

2) Specialized gaming device doesn't support all of the peripherals that a personal computer does. News at 11, followed by lengthy round-table discussion of this late-breaking scandal.

3) Um, QuickTime (.mov) and mp3 files DO play. You must just be such a horrible failure that they don't just for you.

4) There's no Ethernet port because this is 2008 and everyone uses wifi.

5) Because GameCube and Wii games use different file formats.

6) Because Nintendo couldn't be bothered to reconfigure the entire system just for a handful of dorks who want to use their Game Boy Player.

7) So what, you're clubbing your Wii with a hammer now? Who the hell cares?

8) Yes, how dare Nintendo deprive me of an extra three seconds of my life while I wait for my games to load. NINTENDO IS SCREWING US AGAIN!!

9) Because nobody likes to listen to whiny twelve year olds spout off curses while playing a nice game of Dr. Mario.

10) Durr... maybe because the motion sensing and IR doohickeys aren't free?

11) Disaster is coming. Project HAMMER was canceled. Pikmin 3 was never even announced. In the meantime, the Wii has arguably the best third-party support of any of the three consoles and Nintendo's awesome first-party games. What more do you want?

12) Since when are No More Heroes, Boom Blox, RE4 Wii, Okami Wii, Zack & Wiki, PES 08 Wii, GH3, Bully, Trauma Center 1 & 2, RE:UC, FFCC WiiWare, LostWinds, and Geometry Wars, just to name a handful, "shovelware"? And those are just released games.

I can't believe I wasted so much time replying to this crap. 

Dude, old school?!?!  You are in 11th grade.  Were you even born when the NES made or anything older than that had its run?!

No matter how you look at it the Wii has better 3rd party support than GameCube, and the best iterations of Nintendo's own franchises.

So go back to GameCube because of a few whiny nitpicks, frees up the online servers for me.

You are 17

Let me guess: Your first console was the PS1 and you think that Final Fantasy VII is the best FF, right? You are the stereotype of the new gamer.

If you think DeDeDe is bad, look as Pit's double jump. Or Toon Links downwards sword stab glitch.

As for nerfing the other characters, I agree. Samus is by far the worst, Zero Suit is still pretty good, but my long time favorite character since the original, Capt. Falcon got nerfed to shit.

Want to talk about buffing up a character... what happened that made Game and Watch so damn good now?

It is just very unbalanced.

All just my opinion though, others view at differently since many of us play our characters differently.

As for Link, try Toon Link, he is damn good.

I think E3 will make alot of us Wii owners happier. At least I think this and I know many others here feel the same way. Just give it a little time.
