Is Wii better than /\/intendo's previous system(s)? New Poll

I bought a Gamecube when it came out, and I wasn't all that thrilled by the game selections and quality. Is the Wii better than the Gamecube? I played a SSB demo at gamestop on the wii, but didn't get much out of it as I could barely make it out of the Character selection screen, less much fight.

In your opinion, will the Wii last like the DS has, or will it fall with Nintendo's next announcement (most likely next year).

Thanks

Is the Wii better than GC? In my opinion, no. There are a lot more GC games that I like than Wii games. Right now, that is.
Luckily, I can play GC games on the Wii, which makes the Wii a lot more awesome than it would've been otherwise.

In terms of sales, I believe the Wii is going to be more like the DS than the GC.

Tough Question. I couldn't tell you until the end of this generation.

The NES, SNES, N64 and GC were all awesome... So far the Wii has delivered.

IMHO, no console can compare to the N64's Quality over Quantity

Wii is the best Nintendo console I've owned since the SNES. Disagree or agree, thats my opinion.

The Wii will last a regular console life cycle -- about five year's.

I've owned all the Nintendo consoles. SNES is the best Nintendo console.

You can't compare a system that has been out for 2 years to systems that were out for 5+ years.Rocky32189

You can compare a system that's been out for 2 years to a system that has been out for longer if you only consider its first two years as well. In that regard, the GCN is better.

I know; I saw that thread, and it prompted me to do my own more in depth analysis. I'll post it later on.

No but the Wii has only been out a couple of years. I don't think any Nintendo system will be better than the SNES, IMO the Super Nintendo has the best game library of any system ever made.

I would probably rank Nintendo systems (not counting handhelds): 1) SNES, 2) NES, 3) Gamecube, 4) N64, 5) Wii, 6) The Color TV game systems (only released in Japan I believe, and not very well known although they sold ok over there)

The Wii is too young to know for sure yet, but it has dissapointing so far

the gc was the worst of his generation (gc,xbox,ps2) so I think the wii is betterdarkkillerr

sales wise, probably but the GC had a lot of gems despite its awful 3rd party support

Looking at your profile I'm guessing you never owned a GC, which doesn't really justify your statement.

Yeah, it was the least successful of the last-gen 3 in terms of sales... But, I owned a Gamecube and it was awesome. Games like Super Smash Bros. Melee, Resident Evil 4, The Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine, and Metroid Prime 1 & 2 are some of defining games that made the Gamecube. This reply probably belongs on System Wars, but whatever.

I say the GameCube era as the time when Nintendo started changing and trying new things. Wii fells like the deconstruction of that push forward to me. The truly good games are far and few between (I didn't care much for TP or Galaxy).

But keep in mind, I haven't been completly 100% satisfied with a Nintendo home console since SNES.

It is still too early to compare them. I think all other four previous consoles are better than the Wii right now but all of them have already got their full libraries while the Wii is not even halfway through its lifespan.

At this point the Gamecube still has the best games and the graphics havent really changed. I sold my Wii and rebought a GC and couldnt be happier.ThisCurse

what was the point of doing that

I haven't played the GC so I can't really say.

nintendo 64/wii tie for number one wii has just as many good games on its own but its vc and wii ware and bc make it tie for me,

the N64 easily wins.. it took gaming to a whole new level with graphics, controls, and gameplay. and it had amazing games, 1st party and 3rd party..

the wii attempted to do something like that, but only with controls.. they didnt improve much graphicly and the gameplay wasnt drasticly different from the cube. it also has very little support from 3rd party devs. that along with most of the 1st party games going towards a different audience leaves us with a product that isnt nearly as groundbreaking or innovative as past systems.

the system is statistically better then all of its predecessors, But so far the choice of an "ACTUAL" game has yet to come to the table. So in MY opinion yes the system is better even though it's controller is a remote. And second it has yet to make a game that i would enjoy playing.

But then again I've never played a Nintendo game that i enjoyed playing, the story's are all bland the game play is terrible and Nintendo is doing the EA thing by remaking the same thing over and over again "Mario 64+= Mario Galaxy"

But then i have only liked two games in my life and that is Call Of Duty 4 for its story and Advent Rising for the game play, witch is for the Xbox even though i hate the damn thing.

So in all things the Wii is better but it is met with a lack of games so all other "well know" Nintendo consoles are better.

Is the Wii better than the Gamecube?

HELL NO

the wii is the best nintendo home console ever and i dont see how you can even argue with that.

it has the entire library of Wii games .

the entire library of game cube games.

and it has VC for a lot of the best N64, SNES, and NES games.

Ok. So mixed reactions.

What's the highest price you'd pay for a Wii?
