Ok, now for a rant... A few days ago Nintendo revealed that they are planning to update to a slim Wii 1 model (ala Sony PS2 and PS3) which is lower cost to produce. Here it is... Posted Image The new Wii model which will available initially in Europe is designed to only be used on it's side, with the original being able to stand vertical. What's even worse? No Gamecube ports! This means you won't be able to use the GCN controller in Wii games and you won't be able to play gamecube games on this new console. Several people I know believe the GameCube controller is better than the Wiimote and the Classic Controller, and I like to play gamecube games so I don't like this decision at all. Not to mention all the DDR fans that will need a redesigned dance pad. What do you think? |

The original Wii was the smallest of all 3 consoles and was not a hassle moving at all, even with it's stand. This sounds like a last ditch effort to make money off the Wii before there new console hits the shelves. I don't think they should make it, as it'll probably be a wasted effort. |

Simply put, this is the most stupid decision Nintendo has ever made. Not only have they made it smaller, but now they have to put the cost into the new modified plastic molds and modified board for a DOWNGRADE. This is not worth it.... |

The original Wii is still smaller than the slim PS3 and 360. This was a complete waste of money on Nintendo's part to develop. Yes it's a lower cost to produce, but I highly doubt this is going to increase Wii sales anytime soon. In fact, with the lack of GC ports it might slow down Wii sales. |

Nintendo is in a downspirial in terms of systems it seems, I hope they go 3rd party to all consoles and iOS soon, cause I don't want to see the great game series they have just end... :(

I think he's referring to pulling what SEGA did, and stop with the hardware and stick to making just games, which is what I think will happen since I don't believe the Wii U is going to be as successful as Nintendo will think. |

For as big as their franchise is, Nintendo needs consoles. They just need to stop focusing on making big console decisions. Everyone basically already has a Wii. It sold almost as much as the 360 and PS3 combined. That's impressive sales. But wasting big bucks on outfitting hardware is risky. Their plan is mainly making top-of-the-line must have games for their crazy priced systems and it's been working. But now they're starting to slip. |

Thats just it though, Nintendo's all ways been the company of value and appeals to the "cheap gamer". With the new Wii U and this though, it seems it's not like that anymore. This new system will most likely be a turn off for SSBB fans since theres no GameCube controller port. |

Nintendo needs to start thinking. I mean, remember how many Game Boy Advance and DS models they kept releasing? Let's set up an example. How many people here at one time owned a Game Boy Advance? Game Boy Advance SP? Now how many people here owned a Game Boy Micro? I am one who didn't. I understand getting an SP. It had a flip screen, built in light, and it didn't require AA batteries all the time. The Micro? Waste of time I believe. The Wii. Great system in my opinion. Wii Slim? Waste of money! This is why I keep my old consoles. This is why I still have a Game Cube. Nintendo's Wii U won't have Game Cube ports either. I'm still keeping my Wii, because I am one who owns DDR. And to be honest, I don't care much for their idea for the Wii U. The only think I like are the new graphics. Finally, Nintendo does something about the graphics! But the new controller....come on. The Wii's function was to get people up and moving. The Wii U is the opposite! Mom or Dad wants to watch television? That's okay. You can transfer the game to the controller, so you can continue to sit on your butt and play the game instead of doing something productive. |
