Ragnell Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Nintendo: So hey, guys, we noticed that because we aren't releasing any games worth buying for Wii other than Zelda in the next year, a lot of you are resorting to going back and playing Gamecube games from back in the day when we liked core gamers. Well, we're sorry, but that's gotta stop right now. We just don't approve of that. Nintendo Wii should be used for playing Wii games, you know, the stuff we're making now. Which is nothing. So here, you should buy our new model of Wii: http://wii.ign.com/articles/118/1188346p1.html And if you're a family of nongamers, then don't worry about the fact that you'll be able to get a barely used, better model of the Wii online for cheaper than our new system. P.S. In case any of you have any funny ideas about only buying the older, infinitely superior model of Wii, we're going to discontinue that.

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Good thing I use emulators lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'm pretty sure that everyone who is still interested in gamecube games already owns either one of the older Wii models or a gamecube. Not that it makes this a good decision (since I can't imagine that backwards compatibility drives the price up that much). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarkin Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Lol. Nintendo, just keeps losing my respect every year. So many great games, yet they have been ruined by their lust for money. Poor bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilmik11 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 LOL, the backward compatibility is probably the best feature of the Wii atm. I hope they can get the gamer's respect back, they alwats will have mine, but c'mon, cutting the GNC compatibility is just NOT smart!

Its not smart to even make a remodel of the Wii if all it does is take away things from it and not add new stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Is it just me or did they simply turn a Wii on it's side and take away Gamecube stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor bastards. If anything, they've been ruined by their lack of appetite for money. Giving how fervently they seem to be pushing 3D, one might even assume that Nintendo were actually frightened by the prospect of money and success.

Just call me AL Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Just what IS it with video game companies and stupid decisions nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack of the Dead Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The only thing I can think of making this worthwhile is better performance and the eventual use of bigger better games [which will not happen until we have a next generation console] or a massive price drop.

Junkhead Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Lol. Nintendo, just keeps losing my respect every year. So many great games, yet they have been ruined by their lust for money. Poor bastards. No. It's just the fact they HAVE to make senseless modifications to consoles each year. Because they're already broken, right?

Darros Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 No more Brawl with Gamecube controllers! D: Nintendo is dumb. So very dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they're already broken, right? Taking away modifiable hard drives and PS2 and CD-ROM!PS1 game compatibility from the XBOX 360 and PS3 respectively seems to support this.No more Brawl with Gamecube controllers! D:And what happens when someone wants to play with you, but you have no other Wiimotes on hand, but the game in question luckily supports GCN controller compatibility? It's freaking senseless to even take that away. Edited August 17, 2011 by Elmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeCrush980 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I like how Nintendo's releasing more hardware than notable software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whase Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 wait...whut? only explanation I can think of is Nintendo having sniffed too much money and got permanently stoned from the drugs on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altera the Hun Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Ya know, I don't even know why they're bothering. It's already been announced that it's getting replaced with the Wii U soon, anyways. Seems like a waste of developmental money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hm, Europe only. Well I guess they had to do something stupid just to not make NoA look completely incompetent for throwing a ton of money away by not releasing 3 incredibly hyped games.
