There is no reason they cannot use GC/Classic controllers.

That reply clears things up a little.

I am not particularly a fan of the Wii (I liked a few games, but I don't own one) and I really think all those ''wii-something'' tagged game are nothing but a gimmich but I do have a tremendous amount of respect for games like Zack and Wiki, SMG, Madworld, Little King Story, No more heros etc..

But in your first post, you really sounded exactly like the ones you loathe: bashing the other console's game and putting every single one in the same boat.

see, people are just proving my point, complaining about things like shovelware. YES, it exists, but so do the good games, and people are just ignoring them.

next gen, nintendo needs to-

have the same graphics on their consoles as the other current gen consoles

have an extra controller option for people who hate the motion controls

then there will be nothing for people to complain about ~_~

I believe that those who want to be ignorant about how great the Wii is, is their loss. I love the Wii because there are a variety of great games coming out on the Wii and not just FPS games and such. But I still want a PS3. Oh and I want a DSi. Golden Sun baby ! ! !

Problem identified.

Solution:  Become a fan of games, not companies.

I have learnt to ignore most of it.... I am buying more games now than ever, even though I have less money.

My Wii games collection already equals what my N64 collection was at it's highest point (before I sold some of them) which is 22 games including Wiiware.

My Wii retail games has surpassed my GC collection.

And I am not including my Virtual Console games in this either, 9 of which I would not have bought without having got the Wii (I would have got Majora's mask eventually anyway) as well as Eternal Darkness, which although is a GC game, has never been in a GameCube as I bought it only last year.

It just goes to show that Nintendo is damned if they do, damned if they don't. Good thing I don't fall into that trap (although the negativity after even having some new --and compelling-- games announced is baffling to me; no Zelda I can understand, but how can you NOT like the games they showcased? It's not like Wii Music all over again, is it?

or maybe the expression is that HD enthuiasts tend to judge the book by the cover and not the content? A book can have a good cover and good content. But if you judge the book by just the cover you can and are missing on something really good.

What, people are bashing a system? What kind of newfangled nonsense is this?

because its beating the PS3 and 360 in sales like it wasnt supposed to. thats my explanation.
