[quote]Nintendo's Ko Shiota also notes that every system comes with an HDMI cable as a standard accessory.[/quote]
Fucking thank you

Gamecube support was dropped.
It has a bigger internal harddrive I think, so downloading Gamecube games off the virtual console [I]may[/I] be possible in the future.
I hate how Nintendo phased out backward compatibility.
I have dozens of Gamecube discs and Gameboy Advance carts that I cant do anything with.
Faceplates would be a nice improvement. Wood-grain style Wii U would be cool.

There's a rumor that Gamecube will be on the Virtual Console, which I hope

I know that faceplates are going to happen for the GamePad, so the console would be even cooler

Does everybody just throw out their old consoles when a new one comes out? If you're gong to bitch about a lack of compatibility for, then just hold onto your GameCube or Wii or GBA.

I have dozens of N64 and SNES games that don't plug into the wii U, damn you Nintendo!!!

It has a relatively small SSD, but it will apparently support external HDDs
guys if you have a reasonable PC these days you can emulate Gamecube games pretty easily
or just drop a nominal amount of cash on a wii + gamecube controller
Shame that the Wii U doesn't have at least one or two USB 3.0 ports, especially in the case of external harddrives. It's a minor detail, but anything that can future-proof the console would be a good thing.
The problem is, and this is a misinformed opinion as I don't know the tech behind it, if it has Backward compatibility with Wii Games then why not Gamecube games? I thought Wii was more or less a Gamecube anyway.
I'm betting that one reason is they didn't want to include Gamecube controller ports on the system. The other is simply greed and wanting to resell Gamecube titles on their store. That said, hopefully when they release Gamecube games on the store, they're decently priced (Around $15-$20).
I wonder how the WiiU will turn out. No matter how it's presented, the controller still looks very gimmicky to me. Hope they'll just focus on good games instead of trying to force "new ways to game" out of something that loses its appeal after a few months.

Where? The most expensive one I've seen in recent memory was $16.

I still have mine. It just doesnt read discs at all anymore.

Well I cant emulate them on my computer, so yes. I dont see what the hostility is for.

Keep your old consoles around.

Do me a favour and look up the price of a used copy of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.

And he was talking about game cubes not games :P

I got a hands-on with the Wii U on a gaming convention yesterday. Got to play Zombi U, Rayman Legends and Assassin's Creed 3. These are supposed to be the less gimmicky games that were available at the Nintendo booth, and they didn't feel gimmicky. Instead, they were surprisingly fun and captivating.
[QUOTE=Wormy;38019432]You can't? I can play Wii games and Gamecube games on my PC just fine.[/QUOTE]
It requires a good CPU to emulate those, my CPU isn't bad and I have trouble emulating them myself.
