Did a mustached plumber kill your family? What is your deal? If you don't like the plumber don't play the games. Its not that difficult. Other people enjoy the games because they are GOOD. Why does it rub your sore spot if they like the games, and that they do well because the characters are recognizable and fun? Would if give you a boner if the games had some other generic random characters? You went from arguing that the Wii is the same as a gamecube to saying that you hate how Nintendo rehashes Mario sequels. If you just hate Nintendo's characters then say that, get shot down, realize that nobody cares, and play with your overpriced Sony console.
Plumbers kill my family, need money to grow mushrooms, please help.
$250 dollars for technology that could have been had 3 years ago. :Q no thanks, I already own a scientific graphic calculator.

I just got a gamecube a couple weeks ago, and the games that are out for it, are great. Honestly some of the best console games i have ever played. but there are maybe at most 10-15 titles WORTH even trying. I have a ps2, and I have somewhere of 40-50 games for that system and there are a ton more that I do want to get in the future.
Current Gen is fine with me right now, plenty of options.
I would get a 360 if i did not own a pc that could game-its that simple, and I have a feeling the ps3 is headed in that direction as well. I want something to compliment my PC gaming hobby, which would be a console that is DIFFERENT than a PC...so hello Nintendo!

I do have to admit lack of HD is a downer, but I'll forgive them if its still fun.

- Looking at the titles that have been announced so far, the pace at which games are being released is comparable to the N64 and GC.
Miyamoto:
The hardware is basically a GC. We?ve upgraded our development tools to new versions but, you can still use GC programs as they are. With that in mind, I thought we could remake GC titles for the Wii and modify them to work with the Wii remote so that they?re more fun to play.
Remake after remake after remake after remake, It was cool for the super Nintendo, it got old fast. Why can't they release a software upgrade and a wii controller for the GC?
it's a gamecube in the same way that my gaming PC from this year is the same thing as my gaming PC from 5 years ago. all the crap from 5 years ago will run just fine, now won't it.
what he means, because you obviously can't think your way out of a paper bag, is that it's still the same processor and graphics architecture that everyone is comfortable working with, only with 5 years of performance improvements

If it had HD support, it would be the pwnage. So Nintendo decided to give its competition a chance.

I'm bored at the moment so excuse my behavior.

Im foaming at the mouth to play Chrono Trigger again.
Well, Square-Enix is on board for the virtual console so we can only hope.They're going to release about 10 games a month, anyone expecting a full library at launch is going to be disappointed. It wouldn't surprise me at all if support was eventually dropped with only a minimal amount of games available just like the 360 and BC. If you're itching to play Chrono Trigger try Final Fantasy Chronicles for the PS1 or better yet a ROM, because it's currently not on the list of available games.

FFC has nothing on chrono trigger, and square enix is one of the companies releasing classic titles for Wii.
