idk how to link anymore Glitchspot is killing me today

If I go back in the mid-90s with this info, I'd probably get laughed out of the room.:P Then again bringing up the Wii itself would probably get me laughed out of the room as well.:P

Remember all those colors we saw when the Wii was first announced? LIES!Bread_or_Decide

Tell me about it.:( I wanted either a silver one or black one like it was originally shown to be, but nope! On the other hand, I wish there was a White/Platinum PS3 Slim when the Slim first came out.:P

needs a skyward sword bundle.

I wonder if these ones will have the GC BC removed like the other holiday bundles? foxhound_fox

should come with Preloaded Games.

I thought it was going to be a dark blue like Sonic...not a stupid tar heel (sky) blue...oh well I'll pass.

edit...just read the part about no GC B/C,,,,forget it. Why would anyone want a Wii with no GC support?

looks prety cool probably will be fairly cheap too

im not going to lie, thats pretty sweet :P

Looks sleek, though I'd prefer black or a darker blue.

I guess they want people to get over the GC BC by the time the Wii U is out... Oh I'm keeping my Wii that's for sure.:P Then again, I'm honestly not interested in the Wii U... Might get one cheap when the next Zelda is out I guess.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] They can easily retain the GCN compatibility AND bring the price down to $100.charizard1605

I agree that it is a rip off when the regular Wii with BC is around the same price as well, with Mario Kart Wii, (a much better game too::P), but similar to how Sony removed BC on PS3, they will probably do this to all future Wii's so that people get used to buying NGC games from their future eShop on their console. It is a bad idea, and it's simply annoying as a consumer if you don't own a Wii at least, but honestly there really isn't a point to buy a Wii anymore, besides Zelda or if you sold your Wii before and want a new one.

Not saying it's a good excuse, but this is pretty much what they are aiming for probably. Sony phased out all BC PS3's after the Slim was out and now they are selling HD Collections, so that may be the future with the Wii U as well. (I mean them remastering OOT and SF64 and them selling might have intrigued them to take it further..) ... On the contrary though, Sony did it to cut costs.:P

Also yeah, I'm not very optimistic, but rather mehh at the moment. I have games to look forward to in this generation and they have shown nothing I really want. Plus I don't want another 3DS incident to happen again.:P
