Gamecube, definitely. No one else seems to appreciate the thing but I think it really was one of Nintendo's best consoles. Some of their best first party games like Super Mario Sunshine, SSB Melee, Wind Waker and Metroid Prime were on it. And it didn't do too bad in terms of multiplats either, I mean how can you go wrong when you have games like TimeSplitters and the actually decent Tony Hawks?

I also love the fact that the main design was purple, even though I've always had the black Gamecube.

Here is a better visual example, it shows one every 5 seconds.

This is unfortunately the mindset of a lot of gamers today. And, by nature, developers are also 90% of the time gamers.

I'd like to see these people go up against Sony or Microsoft with the same criticisms they provide against Nintendo. Because really, Microsoft has delved far deeper into the casual market than Nintendo could have ever dreamed of while not even getting half of the violent bashing they do for much lesser reasons.

The fact is, if Nintendo charged for a P2P online service, made a console addon as poor and with as few good games as the Kinect, while spending three E3s in a row promoting dance games and virtual Disneylands, they would have been run out of the video game industry years ago.

I remember this crap with the PS2.Everybody wanted to get together to play on it and shun'd my gamecube (i have the ps2 too but i play'd the gamecube more) saying ''the ps2 is the shiz and gamecube is tiny,weak and can't ever keep up with the ps2 no matter what they put on it''.I just play'd my cube and stop'd worrying about them and when the 360 came they all jumped ship saying even when the ps3 and wii come out they will still be weaker then the 360 so it's just a  big face palm.And again i just play my wii and ps3,
stop trying to care about their idiot cries of this is more powerful then that.The point i'm getting at is i hope this doesn't happen with the WiiU but most likely it will because it will launch first.

I remember that to, except I had an Xbox. When people asked me what I had, and answered Xbox, they looked at me like I was an alien from another land. "The PS2 is better than Xbox" they say. not even close. None of these people realized that Xbox didn't need a memorycard and it had 4 controller ports. Something the PS2 had neither of. And the games loaded way faster and looked better (San Andreas). But I mainly ignored them and stuck to my box of green awesomeness. Those were all the same people that jumped borders when the 360 came out. I personally waited until 2007 to switch, but I still got caught up with the RROD. I plan to buy a Wii soon to play GameCube games with. I always wanted to own all the games systems just to play with different controls. Recently I've come to realize tho, that this fanboy stuff is not good, and its about the games not the systems.

I don't want a 3D land one. 3D land didn't feel very open world like. It just felt like a 2D Mario game in 3D.

I'm sorry for dissing SMG2... It's still Mario and that means its still awesome. I just was not a big fan of galaxy, so a second one didn't appeal to me, but it obviously appealed to a lot of people so I will say it was a great game, just not for me. Go sm64!!

Download Pushmo from the E-Shop. It's a really great puzzle game that makes nice use of the 3D. And after a few stages you can even make your own puzzles, share them and download others using QR codes

I don't think they should make a sequel to any previous game. Nintendo never made SM64 2 on the GCN, or Sunshine 2 on the Wii, so making Galaxy 3 on the Wii U would seem a bit underwhelming. Instead they should just do what they always do, and make an entirely new 3D Mario concept, with a new setting, designed specifically for the Wii U and tailored to it's strengths.

I think for the first year, or maybe 2, yes it will get support. If it becomes a console that has high attach rates for games like assassins creed 3, then maybe some bigger games will come with toned down effects, but if the nextbox and ps4 are a lot more powerful, and games like assassins creed 3 sell poorly, then we will be in another wii situation.

But if we look to the past, you see that ps2 was the least powerful of it's generation, but because it had the biggest market, and highest attach rates, it got everything. Games were made for it first. then ported to gamecube and xbox. If the Wii U manages to gain a huge following before the other two consoles release, then we will have a ps2 like situation. Not the most powerful, but a gamer's console of choice nevertheless.

agreed but if u think about it look what happened with the vita. i dont think sony or micro want to have that situation where it is expensive and only a little more powerful .

yah if they release expensive systems tho they will be in deep sheet. lol

Hey guys today I decided to make a design for our beloved Forum for fun. I tried to keep it nice and simple in design. If you may have noticed I added a big spot to feature Wii U games because I think it's nice for people to find out about new games, and also be a little different every time. It's still a WIP and I'll be changing some things and adding some themed icons tomorrow where you see the empty spaces next to the Sections. Example: "Wii U Hardware" will have the Wii U console as an icon and "Wii U Games" will have the Gamepad as an icon. Maybe if I spend more than a day on it I can make it look nicer.

Tell me what you guys think about the design and what you think I should change. Don't take this too serious I did this for fun and practice.

Since you are down here I might as well tell you I'm not making a Pony version. Sorry if I broke your heart.

Here's a few Wii Us that I designed. I'll add more as I make them.
