wilson ffs, yes its essentially an upgraded gc. we're also getting internal storage, classic games on virtual console, nifty wii-mote/nun-chuck, upgraded graphics and gameplay due to extra power, 'wii channels' amongst other stuff, fine, if you think its just a gc with a new controller but imo its not and is well worth the value. we don't need you saying every other post that its just a gc with a new controller.

Where did this modified Gamecube thing come from anyway? I've only ever heard it from so called 'Sony fanboys' and it seems completely random to me.

Oh right, I just found out. I still dont get it.

List of games in development according to Eurogamer. Quite a few intruiging ones in there, more than enough to stop an N64-esque drought anyway.

And to clarify an earlier question, the 'modified GameCube' stuff is utter balls. Wii is about four times as powerful (in general) as a GameCube, and that's taking into account the fact that Nintendo usually say their machines are less powerful rather than more powerful (check the 'Cube launch). Apparently, unless a machine supports HD, it's exactly the same as the old console.

I think he is referring to my decision to pre-order Zelda for my GC, rather than shell out for a new system.

All the people going on about a "modified Gamecube" need to open their eyes. This isnt just about the hardware - its the innovation in titles.

That would be just like me saying the PS3 is a modified PS2....its the same console but with better graphics

qwerty2k · 09-16-2006, 12:15 AM

why would you have to import it though?
