is the wii good enough to give nintendo sum redemption for the gamecube?

the wii is the dominant console in sales worldwide and even tho most of the content havent been great, its still findin a way to sell. has nintendo redeemed they self?

GCN > wii.

pfft, this is SW,next gen they will go all like "well the wii2 sucks, the wii was really an underrated console"

becouse thats what they said about GCN this gen ;) even if it owned the ps2 every year, with all its GOTYs

it does have more high scoring exclusives than either the 360 or the ps3.

please dont say this fanboys are going to come in here and talk about multiplats which will have nothing to do with your post just because the wii is superior then the other 2 consoles in something:P.

Plus, anything below 9.0 is automatically unplayable garbage... Unless it's on the HD consoles, then it's a cool AA game.

I second this

The Wii only redeemed Nintendo in the stock holders eyes. Frankly, I think the GC was a better console.

So much fail in the title alone...

Anyway, I guess the Wii is better considering it has GCN backward compatibility built in. If you own a Wii go buy Gamecube games for cheap and play those.

as far big exclusive games (since that what most of the people who come to these kind of websites probably think more about, including myself)

Nintendo screwed the pooch on the latter half of 2008 and most of 2009, i think if they had filled that time with as many games that are coming out this year back then it would be seen in a better light

Well, the Wii helped make up for GC's not so impressive sales, yes.

I for one like both Nintendo consoles, though.

Uhh if i remember correctly, the GCN was amazing....:|

The VC and GC backwards compatibility had more to do with my purchase than Wii software itself did. So I'm not so sure.

thats what i would tell the ps3 owners as well , because the ps2 games were so much better. but i forgot that the ps3 dosent play any of them at all :/

still better then the xbox360 though, which dosent play any as well, atlast the ps3 can play ps1 games.

even if there isnt really a loss on the xbox side, becouse it didnt have many great games.

xbox 360 has backwards compatibility

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm

just not full B/C, so there's some titles that didn't make the cut (like my copy of MGS2 for xbox)

but anyways i'm appreciating my Wii's B/C as i missed out on a lot of gamecube games that i'm playing atm on it

Don't for get about VC, why arnt there more ps1 games for download and no ps2 games? Where the hell is the xbox support now? Its gone..Fightingfan

SCEA is blatantly incompetent about PSone games. They support the feature, sure. But the last few weeks worth of additions are grade A garbage, steaming hot dog crap. Games that were bad when they came out, and haven't exactly aged well since then. They have no idea what a "PSone classic" is. PS2 games are coming. I expect a reveal at E3. It's one of the things left to come to fruition from those leaked notes for a Sega/Sony meeting. (also expect to see more digital download Dreamcast games, aside from the already known Sonic Adventure XBLA port) Those leaked notes were legit. Hopefully they can use that feature better than the abysmal misuse of digital PSone games.

i think if anyone decides upon the redemption of nintendo its the market and not a forum full of fanboys of various factions..

so i cant see any reason why nintendo has not redeemed themselves.. they are no.1 in the industry again

GCN > wii.

lespaul1919

So every non-sheep who liked the Gamecube is a hypocrite now? Sound logic.

The EU PlayStation Store is particularly bad. I can't believe anybody in their right mind would pay to download Hardcore 4X4 and Creatures 2.

The Gamecube was an excellent console for its generation and still has a better library than the Wii. If anything the Wii has soiled Nintendo's name, even if its their greatest financial success in many years.tomarlyn

From nintendo's side i'd say they never had to redeem at all.
The 3rd parties haven't redeemed themselves no.

(At least, most of them.)

The Gamecube was one of the best consoles to ever come out. It had some very high quality software.

just remember we on these forums are very few to the gaming population

The Gamecube was awesome, what are you talking about?Willy105

Indeed, look at these awesome games with awesome standards

• Wave Race Blue Storm
• Star Wars Rogue Leader
• Star Wars Rebel Strike
• F-Zero GX
• Eternal Darkness
• Resident Evil Remake
• Resident Evil 4
• Wind Waker
• Viewtiful Joe
• Soul Caliber 2
• Metroid Prime 2
• Burnout 2

Throw in Metroid Prime, Zelda TP and Smash Bro's as well if you want (none of which I owned for the Gamecube).

Then look at the Wii's library, where would it be without Mario Galaxy?

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"][QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]I agree about Gamecube having a better library, but the bolded part? No, just no. Sure, it's their lowest system (lower than NES), but it soils Nintendo's name? Really. :|

[QUOTE="Mario1331"]

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"] It does for me, but thats me. Although there's always people asking if the Wii is your last Nintendo console (I wouldn't be a party to that though), so I'm not the only one that thinks its damaged Nintendo's image.tomarlyn

just remember we on these forums are very few to the gaming population

we know the most information thats true, however many people on this forum as well do not believe nintendo soiled their image because all the other companies are following what nintendo is doing to this day.

your not arrogant you have your own opinion but many people love the wii, and im betting 8/10 does not think their image is soiled especially since they produce high quality games still.

it definitely redeemed the GC..and then some.

I still love my purple lunchbox! It and the saturn are my two favorite systems ever! Seriously radiant silver gun and cubivore still get tons of play time in my house!
