Pretty much same ******** Stephen Wilson was spouting about it being a modifield gamecube and too expensive.

it is, sorry

And you'll have to import Zelda if you want it on the GC, but no doubt you know that. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Why would i want it on the gamecube ? </BLOCKQUOTE>

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

I thought you'd pre ordered a Wii anyway </BLOCKQUOTE>

Me, no, I've said in this thread why I haven't gone for it.

Hmmmm i wonder how N64 games will work without the c-buttons. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Well. The N64 had one stick and 4 buttons. This has two sticks. I'd imagine the right stick would replace the c-buttons? Just a guess.

Precisely, it's baffling tbh.

The 360 is a modified xbox, right down to Live. Basically more power and HD. Same with PS2/PS3.

The Wii is actually a completely different concept.

Seems like a fairly clueless view, but each to their own eh?

I'm debating where to pre-order. Leaning towards Gamestation atm.

Might go down in t'morning. Hopefully the required deposit isn't too much.

im so tempted to order the wii, everything about it seems so good and the games look amazing, could preorder and get the girlfriend to buy me a few games for xmas

My PS2 covers all my 'normal' games (PES will be no different on next gen for at the very least a year), and my new wage will come through at the end of October, so it's perfect timing for it.

It's like they planned it.........
