http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/29576/new-wii-console-coming-before-christmas/ In addition to the white Wii console and games, the bundle includes a Wii Remote Plus controller and Nunchuk. Nintendo has also revealed that a number of other value Wii bundles will be announced this autumn. huh well it looks the same to me from the picture other than the Wii logo is shifted on the front. -- http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/3824/5959429725f9ecccb086.jpg http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/CaptainRockman.png ...

Why....would they remove BC with the GC? That's one of the only reasons to own one.

However, unlike the current Wii, it will no longer play GameCube games and isn't compatible with the controllers.

Brawl with remote and Nunchuck works fine. In fact, I like it more than with the GC controller.

So from looking at the picture, they are making the new Wii pretty indistinguishable from the upcoming Wii U(at least for the casual mind). Because that worked SO well with the 3DS.

At least with Sony this sort of thing made sense from a greed standpoint since they were (and I suppose are) still theoretically trying to sell PS2s. But as far as I know GCNs are very much no longer in production. How much money could they possibly save by doing this so late in the Wii's lifespan?

I think what people in here don't understand is that no one cares about the Gamecube. Even if you feel that way, you were getting 2 systems in 1. Now its just 1 system.

But that doesn't matter, the overwhelming majority of people who currently buys or plays a Wii probably don't even know the Gamecube existed.

I bet this doesn't even come with a price drop. Nintendo is probably preparing for DLC GameCube games on Wii U by phasing out legit GameCube supports. Assclowns.

But as far as I know GCNs are very much no longer in production. How much money could they possibly save by doing this so late in the Wii's lifespan? I imagine it's a cheap idea to implement and it will save them hundreds of thousands, if not millions. Plus it will very slightly drive demand for the current model, which isn't selling all that much. And there's basically no negative to it. So it makes sense, it's good business, and not really "greed". Sony's wasn't "greed" either. -- Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter? Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards. ...

From: Dauntless Hunter | #033 Yeah, I don't think they'll continue to sell GC-compatible models.
