Cheapest console that vastly outperformed the PS2, tons of amazing exclusives that pushed technical capabilities, brilliant third party games like REmake, Symphonia, Eternal Darkness etc. Best versions of games like Prince of Persia, Soul Calibur 2.

What a proud and great console it was even if it had some big droughts. It was a system worth defending, and so the faction was respectable.

Now you get a bunch of delussional manchildren who are emotionally invested in a platform thats designed at a retarded audience of casuals, after all the hate they gave the PS2 for having "casual trash" like GTA and Madden. Forced to defend graphical mediocrity, and third party shovelware or garbage made by third rate teams that don't care. The vast majority of the new sheep did not own the N64/GCN, nevermind the NES/SNES which were the pinnacle of Nintendo consoles.

What a tragic fate has befallen the sheep faction, all of the real sheep have died long ago.

Did all the old GS SW users leave or something? Remember Cubeaholic, Ghostz, Ownage_God, Kinggi, LOLZLINK and all the other godly pre 2005 sheep? What a great faction it was.

i am a lemming these days, but i really miss the game cube, best exclusive of last gen in my mind, REmake was one of the best games ever made, i completed it 42 times, metroid prime was fantastic, twin snakes was the outright best version of MGS 1, eternal darkness was the only survival horror that made me jump, the gamecube was probably the most underappreciated console of all time, and to this day the gamepad remains the best gamepad ever made,it was really sad what happened with RE4 if that had remained exclusive as it was meant to be, it would have saved the GC from early extinction, it really hurt the gamecube when this game went multiplat, the one redeeming feature of the wii (apart from metroid games) is the fact you can play GC games on it

PS2 was always the same price as the XBox and a $50 more expensive than the GCN. Price was pretty much equal across the platforms and there are other reasons why each sold whatever. I have all 3 systems, and Wii is the worst platform I have ever owned. Its an abomination filled with so much trash, with a handful of games that are decent.

Yes i do remember them.

Do you think Nintendo just woke up one morning and said 'because the GC was so successful in targeting hardcore gamers, we should scrap all that and go for casuals'? No, it was more 'Ok they dont want us, lets move on'. (And no they havent abandoned the hardcore). Its annoying seeing people cry about how Nintendo are now when they are the ones that made them like that. Its your own damn fault.

Times change, people need to move on.

Yes its merely the worst Nintendo console created, that's queit the achievement when both the N64 and GCN were considered failures in terms of gamer's eyes outside of a very select number of titles. Wii literally has nothing outside SSBB, SMG, Zelda, MP3 and a few other games. It's an ocean of trash.

I say we wait till the end of this gen before deciding that. If this gen is as long as they see its going to be (next gen at 2012/2013) The Wii could end up being the best Nintendo console ever bya large margin.

i have a strong feeling that the wii was justa stop gap for nintendo, something to tide them over and recoup the losses from the GC, i reckon nect gen we will see nintendo come back wit a vengenge, and bring out a console that will blow anything MS and SONY come up with out of the water

this thread is pointless,

you chould aswell typed in "where are the ps2 cows?"

nintendo needs to face the fact that they cant make fanboys like them.

first they made the best console ever created (N64)

no one bought it, couse they wanted the casual trash that is the PS1, whitch had like 1 good game, FF7

then nintendo made a fantastic console which was the opposite of the casual ps2

(the GCN) no one bought it,

then nintendo went back to their roots and released a console which atracts both casuals and hardcores.

everyone buys it, but fanboys still dont like it, becouse now they suddenly regret not buying the N64 or GCN
