Traded My Wii for a Gamecube, What does that say About the Wii ?

The Wii sat for weeks without anyone playing it....and thats a rare thing in my house, we're all a bunch of gamers....but the Wii games get old really fast.

So i went back to a good ol' Gamecube and got games like RE-4, Metroid Prime, Luigi's Mansion, Soul Calibur 2, Paper Mario, LOTR Third Age, Freekstyle, Baldurs Gate D.A., Timesplitters 2, X-Men Legends, SSX 3 and many more.

Before anyone mentions it, i had one of the newer manufactured Wii's that was not backwards compatible, so thats why i traded up and got the Gamecube.

Now i have 20 games and there are still many more great ones to track down, like these 1st party goodies Zelda WW, SSBB, SMS, Pikmin 1 & 2.

Gamecube far exceeds the Wii as far as the great games go.

But doesn't the Wii play Gamecube games as well?

I had no idea that there was a wii that doesn't play gamecube games.

It says you're an idiot.

You could have saved up for a few days and had both. Never trade in a console that you've invested in.

So the Wii has no BC anymore and the Wii U will not play GC games either.... :cry:

I know the special Wal-Mart blue one doesn't (the ones that were $99 for black friday). But actually I think all of the new ones no longer support gamecube games.

Don't play stupid. You could've went on eBay and got a Wii with Gamecube inputs instead of a Gamecube itself.

But since you're a hardcore gamer that only plays Mature rated games for gamers such as yourself, I doubt you really enjoy games at all.

Nothing?

How did he know I was chubby? (looks for secret cameras)

No one cares.

Well when your out in the real world and you don't have mommy and daddy buying your consoles anymore, most people with families to provide for, can't really afford to support games for more than one or two consoles, so us poor working slobs are forced to trade one console to be able to afford another. See how it works in the real world little fella'.Slimmin360

Or you could learn how to manage your finances instead of making piss-poor decisions and coming on here to tell us.

[QUOTE="carlisledavid79"]Wow never seen the TC make this type of topic before "trade x system for y" Trade your record player in for one that plays more than one next time.Slimmin360

I've been in your position and I've regretted trading in consoles. You never get as much as you want, and ultimately, there are one or two games you want for the system you got rid of.

Doesn't matter though, since this is just an attempt at Wii bashing, and you fail miserably. One person making a bad decisions, doesn't really matter.

everyone get's that you don't like the wii...but I think the point other people are trying to make is that the wii (at least some versions) have the ability to play gamecube games, so you essentially traded in a system to play less games.

Now I am not sure how that works since I don't own a wii, but I think that's what's generally being said in this thread.

But the Wii, (the old version at least) has complete backwards capability with Gamecube and its virtual console allows me to play NES, SNES and N64 games and finally, on top of all that, Wii games themselves. Thus I come to the conclusion: Wii > Gamecube.

To be honest it is a step sideways.

Sunshine and Galaxy- Basicallt the same.

Mario Kart DD and MK Wii- Basically the same.

Zelda Twilight Princess and RE4- UH.........The same.

Metriod Prime 1 and 2 and Metroid Prime Trilogy- UHH......Same.

Pikmin or Pikmin......

You get the idea. Actually looking up at that list the Gamecube games are better. But you would of been better off just getting something else.

I think that means you make horrible choices. Especially getting a wii that's not backwards compatible

:lol: The Wii is a Gamecube you dope!!! It's 100% backwards compatable! It can even use GC Memory Cards!!! You are either the dumbest troll ever, or a very stupid person.Plagueless

If you're gonna get all technical, work is force applied over distance

it would have made more sense to get a BC console ...

at least then you would have a Gamecube with better online functionalities and apps like Netflix, Youtube etc.

I think you have a history of poor choices as evidenced by purchasing a non-BC console.
