Wii was twice as strong as GC and then after you factor in development advancement as well as art...

Your screenshots are beyond terrible.  I really need to get me some sort of capture card or whatever...

Compare Skyward Sword to Twilight Princess (Looks pretty good but textures are bleh), or Super Mario Sunshine (Which still looks fantastic) to Galaxy 2.  The difference is night and day.

I have a pretty good collection of Wii games. Including my WiiWare games, I have 36 games.There's still plenty more I want to get.

Apparently I didn't. I never bought one. My kids have one and I have yet to have even the slightest interest in playing it. My kids don't even touch it. I do have a Gamecube that I still play from time to time.

Nintendo hardly upgrades the CPU and GPU each time they release consoles and relies on gimmicky controls. They are now failing due to this business scheme.

No, they are actually profitable, but have not hit target sales for the WiiU. And this actually has little to do with "gimmicky controls" or underpowered CPUs and GPUs, but more because of the rising popularity of mobile gaming. http://www.dailytech.com/Nintendo+Profitable+Again+Cuts+Wii+U3DS+Sales+Targets+/article29783.htm

Wow, poor quality screenshots man. If it were TLOU, people would enhance and high res that just to prove a point. TBH, the wii is my favorite console this gen; albeit, half the games were really short, they were good quality, and most of the wii games I own have high replay ability. I can't say that for most 360/PS3 games.

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"][QUOTE="campzor"][QUOTE="LastRambo341"]Using screenshots? Really? The Wii is stronger than the GC The Wii was awesome as it had a lot of great games.

which im sure most could have been done with the GC.

And look and run worse on the GC, yup

only slightly worse.

Did we "need" a Wii? No. But I mean, by no means did we need both a 360 and a PS3 either so I don't really get the point.

It's pretty clear that you're talking out of your arse.I mean, anyone who has those games would tell you that, as great as the Gamecube games looked for their time, the Wii versions were graphically superior - and in any case, who cares? Great exclusives are great exclusives, regardless of the graphical power behind them.
