Wii, why would you get a Gamecube.




Nintendo still doomed?

only get a cube if you really need to save the money. You can get a cube for almost nothing these days, might even be able to find people giving them away. I don't really want mine anymore, i got a wii now. If you have the money get a wii, then you can play wii, GC games and virtual console for older games as well.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

It depends if you are going to have money to buy more games for the Wii any time soon. If the answer is no, then go for the Cube with games, a Wii without games is kinda pointless.

If those 10 games are any good, get the GC.

You should buy a Wii, it's the same as buying two GameCubes. :awesome:

get the wii. It can play gamecube games and most game cube games are under $10 now so you should be able to get them for cheap



Long Live SHIO!

What Wii games do you think you would like, and what games would you get with the GC?

I'm going to go against the flow here lol. Get a GC because you seem unsure about the Wii otherwise you wouldn't have asked. The GC is cheap and the games are at good prices. You can play all the GC games and then along the way when you decide a Wii is worth purchasing there is no harm done. You can keep the controllers and games. You can sell off the games on Ebay and make money back to buy the Wii later. You can keep the GC for the GBA player and buy a Wii anyway so you can play Wii games. Do whatever you like because the choices are endless.

Or like many others said just buy a Wii ;)

I'd get a Wii since it's a Wii + GC in one package. But if you don't care for many Wii games then just get a GC. And get Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos Origins, Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, Zelda: TWW, and Skies of Arcadia Legends if you can find it. If you like RPGs of course (though Zelda isn't an RPG).

Dont listen to his crappy RPG recommendations. Theres more just RPGs on consoles =P

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Get that. =P
