1) Virtual Console: Where the hell is GoldenEye 007? Where is Majora's Mask? Where is Road Rash 64? WHERE THE HELL ARE THE N64 GAMES IN GENERAL?!?! COME ON!!

2) USB 2.0 ports: They are there why the hell can't I save files onto a USB Memory Stick? Why can't I print pictures off of the Photo Channel? Why are they even there to begin with?!?

3) Photo Channel: Why can't QuickTime movies play in that p.o.s Photo Channel even though it says they can play? Why can't I play .mp3 files like I used to be able to?

4) Ethernet Port: WHY ISN'T THERE ONE ON HERE?!

5) Why can't I save Wii files to a GameCube memory card?

6) Why aren't all my GameCube accessories compatible with the Wii?

7) Why is the system made of cheap-as-a-whore plastic?

8) Why can't games load more quickly? It is the successor to the 'Cube after all

9) Why isn't there any voice chat?

10) Why are the controllers way over-priced?

11) Where the hell are the good games? What happened to Disaster? And Project HAMMER? And Pikmin 3?

12) Since when does "Third Party Support" equate to "Shovelware"?


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. 


 Actually, the Official James Bond Video Game License is currently held by EA, the James Bond License in general is held by MGM. The publishing rights to Goldeneye are held by Nintendo, and the program code is property of RARE who has a contract with Microsoft. Therefore, you have a giant cluster___ of people who need to get paid before that game sees rerelease..

Diomedes, I think hear the PS3 being undertracked somewhere. Go investigate.

Lol.

 

@Desroko

Posts like that make worth visiting VGchartz.

Is always good see people burning trolls.

 

At topic:

 

Man just, switch consoles.

You can play PS3 or X360, all you gotta do is choose.

Each one has it own features.

 

 


Too much money. lol. I am poor.

 

Time to save up for a better graphics card and a new motherboard in five to eight years! PC FTW!

 

I guess I am just too old-school for today's casual gamer market


Errrrr........... pong? pacman? Mario? Sonic? Atari 2600, NES, SNES and family? <==== CASUAL!!!!!!!

You're not old-school at all.

I don't see how GC>Wii. I also don't see how anyone actually thinks the GC controller is good. If it wasn't for the shitty PS controllers it would be the worst controller ever made.

Cube controllers suck? The shoulder buttons could have been better but definitely the best of the last gen controllers.

@OP: nice post:P, but seriously, the cube was in some ways probably a better console than the Wii in the first year of it's life, but things went pretty wrong after that, especially living in Australia (Sony Land)

GameCube was a massive disaster.

This kind of nerd rage always makes me laugh.

You'd think the Wii had killed his little sister or something.

Here are the highlights of the OP as I see them:

"DeDeDe" godly.

Making fun of the Wii for having "cheap-as-a-whore" plastic. Maybe he just likes really high class hookers.

"Way over-priced" controllers (Remote: $40; DS3: $55; Remote+Nunchuck: $60 ONOES)

OMG THE WII HAS NO BUILT-IN ETHERNET PORT
OMG THE 360 HAS NO BUILT-IN WIRELESS

"Why can't I save Wii files to a GameCube memory card?" Why do you think?!

What happened to a game that got canceled, a game that's coming out, and a game that hasn't been announced?

And for the record,
(A) the Gamecube controller is awesome.
(B) Ratix240sx is clearly unfamiliar with older controllers.

actually his penis is made from the same plastic as the Wii. he thinks the Wii will break because one time he touched himself and it broke.
