A Question for former Gamecube/N64 owners

Do you own or are you planning on ever buying a Wii?

and if not, why not?

The reason i'm asking is because this is the most successful Nintendo console since the SNES and it looks set to have a far better software library than either the N64 or GC. I find it strange that so many sheep are abandoning Nintendo now when they're dominating so much the_h_bomb

because even if it has GOTY, and a few great hits, those are just a few, and again first party. i want some more third party gamesrowzzr

it'll have more than the GC and N64 combined

Do you own or are you planning on ever buying a Wii?

i own a gamecube and a 64 and i will maybe be getting a Wii if something i like comes along so far the only reason for getting a Wii for me is for Wii sports and Wii play. . .

I had a N64, but sold it quickly for a Ps1 and never regreted it.

I had a GC, but I loved my PS2 a lot more.

I love my Wii and have no intrest in the PS3 what so ever.

Yea good point, There was a large outcry from some gamers who felt that Nintendo was abandoning them by shifting their focus to casual gamers.

I owned an N64, was never interested in a PS1.

I owned a Gamecube and PS2 last gen.

This gen I own a Wii and 360.

No, I am so tired of playing Nintendos first party games over and over... and over again.ImaPirate0202

exactly.

I gave up on Nintendo when I bought a Playstation, which was even before I got an N64. They just don't care about moving beyond what they do really well.

i never had a cube or 64 but i have a wii.

there was really no point in owning a cube or 64 in australia. they both sold so terribly that most stores never bothered to stock games for them. the wii is a different story.

I owned a N64, and played the GC a good amount a friends house.

Personally, Nintendo lost my respect with the Wii. It was faltering after the Gamecube, but the Wii... ugh... I've played it, as I do with all consoles before I buy them, and it just didn't feel right... I got tired of the same games, and the controller just feels tacky to me.

I have been and will continue to buy Nintendo systems until I come across one that disappoints me software-wise. So far, the Wii has lived up to the Nintendo quality I expect.

That's not to say I'm not going to buy other systems, just that Nintendo is always in my collection.

I want one, but teh $250 :(

Once the price drops or I get spare cash (and I can finally find one) I'll pull the trigger

I bought a Wii at launch.

Nintendo's first party alone is enough to warrant owning their consoles.

I hear a lot of people saying that the Wii has "only casual games". So far the system has had Mario Galaxy, Zelda TP, No more heroes, Trama Center, Trauma center New Bood, Monkey Ball, Battalion Wars 2, Fire Emblem, RE4, Zack+Wiki, Warioware, Medal of honor Heroes and probably a few others i forgot to mention.

Upcoming there is a new game from treasure, a new game from inis, a new game from Kojima, a new game from Retro, a new game from Yasumi Matsuno and a new game from Factor 5. Namco have made it a focus for RPGs, Squareenix have called it one of their "main platforms". The machine is just over a year old

Can someone tell me how the Gamecube or N64 were better?

Normal controllers and top graphics I guess.

Ofcourse I bought a wii and so fars its the best console I have gamed on since the snes. (I own a 360 aswell)

Its better then the GC by miles.

Games perhaps? N64 games > Wii Games

GC Games > Wii Games

I know the Wii has been out for only a year, but that's my answner as to why they are better than the Wii, get back to me in a couple years.

yes I got a wii at launch. I am really into nintendo's franchises. I really can't imagine spending a gen without mario, link and the rest. I also really like the wii, although this gen I'm going multiconsole for the first time, although I've often been able to play other consoles. (PSWii FTW!)

Same thing can be applied to other games like Metal Gear and Final Fantasy.

I have a Wii, but ironically the only games I find worth playing on it are for the Cube. GC>N64>Wiitomarlyn

I owned both an N64 and Gamecube only in their generations and I do not plan to buy a Wii atm.

I am a former NES and SNES fan that abandoned the N64 and Gamecube in favor of PS1 and PS2. I only returned to Nintendo for the DS and Wii.
