How Wii U hardware improves upon the original Wii beyond graphics

[Recurracy]

I think Nintendo should try to reboot titles like F-Zero and Starfox. Those are solid titles, I'm sure they'll reel the Wii-U some extra sales. Hell, I'd probably get them.

Which CPU do you have?

[QUOTE=Lazor;38005742]guys if you have a reasonable PC these days you can emulate Gamecube games pretty easily

Gamecube emulation is slow as hell for whatever reason.

I'm admittedly lacking in proper knowledge as to the performance of CPUs, but from what I understand my CPU is not amazing, but not terrible.

If I'm extremely lacking in some basic knowledge, I would greatly appreciate being informed.

They dropped gamecube support on later wiis. I think when they started producing black ones.

The Fuck?

Unless this is a really recent change, the Wii we got just last year still plays Gamecube Games, though ours was still white it was new.

It was the family edition console released in 2011, the wii logo is horizontal and not vertical, the console does not come with a vertical stand and is meant to lay flat. The top part is flat and doesn't open up to cube controllers, and support has been disabled by software. Probably used to cut manufacturing costs (the ports themselves, though the plastic shell for them is still there when top is forcibly removed) for a feature not commonly used, especially when considering it's sold as a family device.

That's weird, it's $25 here and I picked it up for $15 myself a while back.
