Title: So who here wants to write to Nintendo, and about the Gamecube attachment idea?
Post by: RegalSin on June 08, 2011, 04:13:19 am
I was thinking fellow "gamers" how we could write to Nintendo, from all corners of the states. Sending messages in mulitple languages to all Nintendo bases.
Basically, it would demand an add-on for the GCN that would allow Wii gameplay
and features, along with the NDS/GBA emualation. No god forsaken HD, 3d 3d mumbo jumbo.

So anybody knows the desks ( not Reggies ) of the tinktank we have to nail to the wall? Asia, Europe, and Amerika?

Now that Nintendo's console has a touch screen, I can totally see a DS attachment being made for it.

YES, but no emulation, please! This may also pave the way for Nintendo to again allow support for their older consoles. We will see. :yoshi:

Nintendo's already announced WiiU (say it more than three times and it sounds like the police buzzer), so they're focusing on the new console and I doubt they'd actually release what you'd email them.

I'm not sure I'll bother buying Nintendo's new console when it comes out, it has HD graphics, new gimmicks and whatnot, well, I'm going to stick with Xbox 360 and PS3.

PS Vita looks and is incredible (software/hardware), US's price is $249 and converting to UK's currency it's actually very decent price, I'll definitely see about importing but with customs it will probably rise up.

No matter how much any amount of fans beg, Nintendo will not make this.  It would not be profitable for them at all.

It's a little too late, but they're always open to do.

Nintendo wouldn't make any profit, that's all.

It can too work, we get the addresses and names of Nintendo people, from all over the world, all saying the same messages but from differnt peoples point of view. It is a type of protesting.

In the same process, we will all mention how WE WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER NINTENDO PRODUCT UNTIL THIS DEVICE IS MADE, or something like that.

They'd only respond to a protest/attack if they suffered something seriously as bad as Sony did with the PSN being down and its database got hacked.

LulzSec lieks Nintendo 2 much so they didn't do any harm to them.

Very unlikely that this would work. They'd never sell enough of them to recoup production costs. I was wondering when you'd suggest adding the "we won't buy another Nintendo product until" part. Thanks for not letting me down.  :D

They could do a pre-order as with the DD64. Then mass produce enough, ship em out. Then ler the rest be sold threw them. I have thought about doing something simular myself, with the stuff I am attempting to make. This way everybody has enough Weed to go around.

Nintendo does not look like they're ever going to look back at classic gaming, Wii 2 is the proof.

Nintendo might look back at its roots but it will never completely revisit its roots, it will only breifly revisit them like with the vitural console and OoT 3D

I think nintendo 'looks back' and celebrates it's roots more than any other company I can think of.  Images, references and gameplay tributes to classic (nintendo) gaming are abound in Wii and DS titles; and I see no signs of that slowing for better or worse :P


Super Mario Anniversary Edition on the Wii, sure was nice.

Why the heck would Nintendo make an add-on for the GC to play Wii games?  You can buy a Wii for $100 now, or trade-in your GC.  
At the most you'd get a letter suggesting that.  You can't hold Nintendo to ransom or demand things, you're a consumer but you're not lifeblood if you don't have $100 for a Wii though.  Heck, $50 would get you a used one.

This is in UK - http://uk.webuy.com/search/index.php?stext=wii&ispostback=1&mode=buy&refinecat=796

To be honest, Wii's aren't expensive any more.

But if I were to buy a used one, it'd be from eBay because the prices tend to be even more lower.

There's only a few games I'd like to own that are on Wii, I'll wait a little more longer, no rush.

That is what they say, they said about the GCN. Nintendo could bang up some bucks by implimenting support from the GCN with the add-on device. Maybe it will even have a slot for N64 games. When the Weed2 release, the add-on could also support Wii two and cost just as much, but using pre-order of course. It would be a gaming revolution for the N-Team :cherry:

The question you gotta ask yourself, is why Nintendo would bother going to all that support, when Wii supports GC games.  Rather than make a GC that can play Wii and spend all that money developing an add-on, it would be cheaper to buy a Wii alone, which needs no development cost.

Honestly, please think about this straight - it's a cool idea yes, but not one that could ever be seriously considered.

NGC is dead, if Nintendo were to bring it up again, it'd be selected games remastered on HD for Wii 2, or available on Nintendo's digital store for sale.

What you're proposing is not lucrative for Nintendo at all, for the customers, yes.

There are a few reasons why owning a Gamecube to play Gamecube games is better than playing Gamecube games on the Wii, but it is stupid waste to design, create and retail hardware to play the Gamecube on the Wiiwhatever. I would side with and understand why Nintendo will NOT be making this; there is no benefit nor even signs of this being a niche product. Though, I would still like to see full hardware support for Nintendo's other older consoles on the Wiiwhatever. Did I say Gamecube enough times? :P

It is like I am room with a bunch of quiters. Wah wah wah I don't wanna go back to GCN, the Wii is only 20 dollars. 

It is like all the Resident Evil Fans during the end days of Funcoland, and everytime somebody would allways ask. When is RE4 is going to be ported to the PS2. Those RE players would not accept the GCN game as being playable or even touching it at all. Then when Capcom forced them to port the damn game and canceled the rest of the Capcom five, and released the game with shotty graphics, a fility loading screen, and missing detail. Then they released the game on PC, Wii ( which makes no sense ) and so forth.

If that does not burst your bubble, rememer Zelda:OOT release. Everybody brought the game, beat it, and then returned it to the damn store. So the stores was overstocked with Zelda's and N64 units.

Here we are today, and the SNES2 is still no here, along with thte DD64. Howabout that Gameboy 3d that we have been dying to get our hands on? Then they did the same thing to us with the Wii but even worst. They just added a feature like with a barbie doll. Think people, think. Look underneath the gcn. and even look at the size of the Wii. They are not too far apart, and you could afford it. if someboy could afford to spend or make a second series, then you can afford this. Otherwise I guess what people say about Nintendo fans are true.

That we are Welfare, poor, kiddy, children who are blind to see past Nintendo for what they really are. Preditors preying on your optimism and belief in the latest and greatest thing, that what they give us, and the word that you spread.

This is a first step to take care of what we own, and play videogames on consoles no matter what age. To have rooms filled with cleaned products.

Yes if Nintendo released an add-on device it will be something like, the Neo-geo. A big over expensive unit, that only a drug dealer could afford.  However think about it. We are adults, the internet is soooo simple that a dog
could navigate it, and we all have some form of income.

You're not making sense.  You're asking Nintendo to go off and waste their money to make new hardware, for a system they are not supporting, when that hardware already exists in reverse form.  Try asking them.  Seriously, go ahead and write that letter, at some stage I'll welcome you back to reality when you realise they will never make this even if 100,000 people put down $100 in advance.  Tell me which region you write to and I'll even follow up with them to gauge response.  I'm sure it will get read by a few people I know.

They made the N64 DD because they believed in the technology.  They had already developed software and hardware when they were ready to release it but there wasn't enough of that to support a full launch.  Still nervous about the VB disaster, they opened up the small quantities they had via mail order for that reason.  Their choices were eitehr lose money on all that R&D, or lose money via a full-on global release, or re-cap some/all money through a mail-order scheme.  SNES CD didn't even get to do that of course and that got written-off as R&D goodwill cost.

Nintendo's R&D department are limited, they are looking at other viable options to make new and exciting hardware.  
I am not sold on the WiiU either, I don't plan on buying one but even I know they're not going to go back and make bits for Gameboy, there's not enough of them free to for a start.  
You already have the GBA support you wanted via the Gameboy Player, plus pretty much every other console via homebrew and virtual console on Wii.

I don't understand the over-sentimentalised hard-on you have for the Cube.  I liked it, but times have moved on.  They actually really messed up with the Cube, it nearly brought them, down you know.  
Quite seriously, because they came to the party so late that nobody really saw much reason to develop for it.

What's more, you can't reasonably develop an attachment for the cube anyway.  The upgrades are to the main innards of the machine.  It's not like a new media device or a RAM add-on, it's more and those updates are all packaged and available on the Wii.  
If it's a question of cash, sell your GC and buy a used Wii from ebay for less than the price of a new game.  If you can't afford that, how would you afford a new add-on?

I am so utterly bemused by this concept but I feel compelled to understand exactly what it is you see in the idea and why it makes any sense at all.
Is it because you love the Gamecube?  If so, great - but I have a feeling we'll get another cryptic answer filled with stories of the past and conspiracy theories.

L_E_T don't be such a L_E_T_D_O_W_N. It is not about love, I have already traded all of that for NEC and Hudson Soft. It is the principal and respect towards a consumer base. Take Pokemon, sure Nintendo would be giving Public Assistance to all the lives they ruined with it's Rock/Paper/Sizzors glory. But in terms of being a product they should have the respect to have backwards compatibility and support. Instead we have wait for some merical to do it for us, or do it ourselves.

The answer i pretty simple. It is right there in front of our eyes and we are pretending to powerless to do anything about it. Like the Chrono Trigger X-Box game, people have decided to look at the law,( mans law )
and let it be. Lets put money before the merical. However in this case it can happen.

We as consumers should unite, and dehydrate the Nintendo franchise. Yes I just used the evil word that that bald man about FF7, but it is possible. Like Iraq for instance, if we the nation was truly whole we all should have protested on Washington D.C. about the war. That would have saved, lives. Sure the former Agent known as ABS would have been ducking out in terrorist capital of the world, but it would have saved lives. Instead we let them hatemongers, the bigots, the women who wear pants, and the men who enjoy being women have their day. Meanwhile hatemongers marched against the building of a place of worship, using excuses like 911. All of that wasted energy of we the consumer call distaste for the other product, other religion, other company.

Unlike the following example of negativeness, mixed in confusion proves the common man can make a difference. Writing letters to Nintendo, or etc persons will get peoples attention that this project is worth of some input, and monies to spent and made. But why dd the previous projects failed? Nintendo
broke a promise, they were not confident with the image the N64 made for them, they also felt the GCN needed a new look, and that what they did. Created something designed to do the following

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qniwI2hNhDs

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING RIGHT NOW TO THE "GAMER"

Hearding us into.....the dreaded world of computers, so that they don't have to built anything at all. They could just charge us a small fee, or bill, with no packaging at all. You the consumer will just need a graphics card to play everything. 1000% in the near future, we will see maybe one novelty console get built while Nintendo and the other farmers decides to make downloadable content for any device that is considered a machine capable of running programs, that has i/o input output, and most importantly connects to the internet. Yes their goes my crackpot conspiracy theory. Nintendo removes console from the eqaution, people start playing more computer games, economy keeps rising, somebody opens a mine on a Indian Reservation, twelve year olds become Crystal miners threw computerized robots, in old America. A majority of people then settle for having Chinese children, since they are just as reasonable a Japanese child. Koreans continue to frown.

The least most we can do, is just not buy their the WiiU and write the letters. Imagine a whole office full of pleades to make an enhancement for the GCN that will allow DVD, VCD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, Green_ray, and even GB, GBC, GBA, NDS, playback. Including optional HD tech.

Thankyou - I laughed at the first line and some other lines, but you're kinda close on the future stuff, cloud gaming is going to become bigger and bigger.

You know, the Gamecube player already does GB, GBC and GBA right?
You will never have enough letters for the rest though, because no amount of letters will make that happen.

There is no such thing. I just described the average computer gamer from the late 1990's. If anybody could remember the days when you was given the option of downloading the game or buying the actually product. It is also called somebody buying something for nothing.

Like if I sold you

A PDF Textbook
A game as a ISO file
A mp3 that has limitations
A downloadable poster data
...........

You still need to provide the body. That is what we do when we download things.............unless your in Canada of course, the fine Canadian people are to highly for that kind of stuff and enjoys beating the snot out of seals instead.
The reality they just screwed the entire consumer over like no tommorow.

A true let down is that the Wii 2 will only be possible to use one controller, no more no less.

They've said to the client could use 3DS as a controller, so the 3DS costs around $250, and lets say Wii 2 is approx $300, that makes $550... At this price a medium/high end gaming PC would be better suited.

Plus, on the PC you can play all sorts of emulators (PS1, PS2, NGC, Wii, DS, Mega Drive, Saturn, NES, SNES, Game Boy, GBC, GBA, GameGear, Atari, etc...).

Nintendo isn't thinking this through, N in the past/present allows multiplayer with 4 or more controllers on the Wii 1, but with the Wii 2 it's only one. What the hell?!

I'm yet to see the official controller of Wii 2, I can't believe that huge thing with a screen on it is the actual controller, it isn't cheap neither.

I thought they said the WiiU will support all Wii controllers, too? So that's at least more than just one controller, and you have no idea what they'll ultimately come out with regarding the larger, new controller. How can you possibly think Nintendo is going to build a new console that only supports one controller? Geez...

I think you're jumping the gun on this whole thing. There isn't enough solid information to make a decision about it or complain about it at this point.  ;)

Oh geez, oh good darnit...

Oh look it is in fact one controller per console GamerPro (http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/220292/e3-2011-only-one-touchscreen-controller-per-wii-u/).

Seriously? You're in no position to tell people how to act considering your ranting behavior.  ::)

And it's one touchscreen controller, not, as you said, "...the Wii 2 will only be possible to use one controller, no more no less." Maybe you don't understand the difference between what you said and "one touchscreen controller",but there is one whether you're able to comprehend it or not. Your statement was misleading.  :-*

And that article said they're still exploring the possibility of using more than one touchscreen. Maybe you only read the headline...

Yeah, use Wii controllers etc. - but the real disappointment for me was that it will be on par with PS3 and 360. 
By the time of release (or now, depending on how you look at it) - these are old systems.

I don't want to always feel like a gen behind, I was hoping they'd go all out this time and bring the successor back to compete with PS4 and '720', which are already seen about.

Well I won't be buying one anyway, I'd rather have an iPad2 and a 720 but I'm open to anything new they bring, at this rate though it just looks like a toy to me.

Unless "PS4" or "XB3" bring anything new, that the previous didn't have, there's not really a reason to buy it, at least in my case.

I'm very satisfied with PS3/X360 games, services, features, etc. It's all great!

We now have HD graphics, the next step should be having realistic graphics, like high end PC's, but it'd make it expensive.

The future is cloud based, so yeah they're more powerful, but it's more how you access and play them than the sheer power.
Problem is, games already cost tens of millions to make - double the power and you are nearly doubling that figure too.

Just because you're not getting something physical, doesn't mean you're getting nothing.  Ever paid to watch a movie at the theatre?  Same principle.


Not really. You pay once to see the movie at the threatre once. VHS tapes and DVD disks were made because of the tangible quality of movie theatres.

The problem is, the people with low internet speeds won't be able to enjoy from the Cloud Base Gaming like OnLive.

But there's always the physical format, and if physical format dies like it's going to, then PC gaming is probably going to be the best choice.

There are plenty of digital format game websites to buy from, so streaming the games won't be necessary.

Oh, I think I won't be supporting the next generation consoles since they're going digital and there's nothing for me that's worth it. Gaming online? Cool, but then again, PC's there and there's a ton of F2P (Free 2 Play) games online.

Not just internet browser games, Valve has given away TF2 (Team Fortress 2) for free, so anyone can play it.

And WoW is free too.. Holy shit, this is a lot of free stuff.

TF2 reminds me of France's Television Channel 2 (hence the name TF2 - Television France 2). Even though I'm not French. :P

Downloading games is getting more bang for your buck than a movie theater.  You pay once to play a game as many times as you want.  I don't see the issue.

Honestly, making a device like this is not in Nintendo's best interests, and they'll just ignore your messages. They won't pay to develop or produce it, especially as the GC is now a dated model, and they expect most people to just buy the Wii.

If you can come up with the actual hardware, and it works, I'll be happy to fly to Nippon and discuss it with them for official licensing. :bomb:

I am going to let the image do the talking.

More importantly, this topic alone has generated over 3489 hits. I knows it, folks out there wants the add on device that would enable people to use the Wii Network, play Wii and Wii2 games via the GCN unit, and even take advantage of the nunchucks. More importantly glove slap those naysayers about past consoles. First the Wii enabled GCN tomorrow the world. Yeesssssss!!!!!!

Writing is the first method of protesting and getting somebodies attention. If not then we go to E3 and dress up like Indians, and throw tea down the sewer escapes. If that fails we picket, and keep picketing until the crowd roars over the showers of blasts of water. However we put our children into the cross fire.
Finally if all else fails we use scare tactics, and hold Mario dolls hostages, teasing the dolls with electrical devices, and suspending them by ropes.

First of all, this topic has been viewed 2,766 times according to the counter at the top of the thread, and while that is a lot, look at the responses, RegalSin.  No matter how badly you want this, it will not happen.  Much less would they make a device that could play games for a system that isn't even out yet on a system that's two generations old, because that wouldn't even be possible.

Could you please just try and think (logically) before you post? It would please everyone here.

Whatever this emotion is.  Doubt like L_E_T is expressing. if it was built, it would jutter those naysayers, timtoms, philityflopties, olgiebuglies, and whatnots into splattertown non-exsistance.

Who will be the consumer. A parent buying their kids something new based of religion? or people who own the actually product. I am not talking about a high run, high product line. I am talking about a limited time offer, high priced, slap to all the Wii owners, and those who preach the anti-cry of newism.

You think this is the only system that is going to come back, I can go on about. Nope, this is the most recent one that people in a consumer chain would allow people to go back to the shopping marts.

In short if this was Japan, and people made this an issue to Nintendo, I 100% bet this thing would fly. But no since we are dumb, fility, stinkum, Westerners I guess it would not fly. In Japan they had a channel changing boxes, and televisions with no stereo at all. We westerns had to wait, until the product was cheap like IBM that we even imported products.

That is the kind of thinking that led us into the lame west world that we have become. While Japan is still singing the same song, we just have a bunch of people surviving on turrets and word munchers.

High-priced? It'd be cheaper just to buy a Wii then.  Nintendo does not want to slap the owners of their current-gen console in the face.

Sorry but there's no logic if they were to make it and cost more than a Wii itself.

For a high priced piece of technology better to just buy a Wii then.

I'm only going to buy a Wii (black colour) when it drops its price a bit more.

I always tend to aim for black coloured consoles, I guess it's the standard/preferred coloured for me in case of consoles.

A black PS1 is kinda pricey and it's a developer's console, named as Net Yaroze. Also, I don't know how hard or pricey is a black Dreamcast, but I'd like to have one (already do but it isn't in black)!

how low do you want to go, then?

in terms of the Wii?

So tell me, was it not a slap to the face, when we could have had FFVII on the SNES2, or the N64DD was canceled, Lik-Sang, mother 3, No backup support for original pokemon series, or how they some how revamped the characters with no explanation. I guess we should just sit down and take it like a good puffy puffer puffed cake consumer. We could write to them, all at once and make a stand.

It's not about making a stand Regal, it's about business sense and whether you like it or not, no company can afford to do things for fan-service when it doesn't make them money or even worse, when it comes them so much money just to do so.

Take our advice and never go into business on your own.  A fool and his money are soon parted.

Look, I am not going to argue a persons consumer beliefs. It is not a jester. It is somebody making a product, that will increase sales, of another product. Instead of getting people riled up for the next big thing to do, the viva pinyata. They are doing the last thing that anybody would expect. I am not talking about giving people what they want, I am talking about keeping close ties with former consumers.

Are you really thinking. They release a product for the GCN that will give it all the abilities of the Wii2+the Wii and put a price tag. The Wii in reality was never really that much away from the Cube, and Zelda and RE4 is one of the few games that makes this point.

QuoteA fool and his money are soon parted.


When they say that, they are talking about the person you see in the mirror. Go to work, provide for yourself, spouse, Affair, kids, and then if you have enough leftover, go buy yourself toys.
The toy could be a boat, a plane, a sub, or even an island complete with servants.

You have two people in this world. The one that plays with SWORD item, and the one that MAKES SWORD item. which one are you?

I know enough Fools out their already. One person who has millions of dollars, and travels to island to go on adult vacations, another one who gambles it all off, even the ones who buys things when they have no money. You have "fools" using credit cards crying over the economy, getting scared over their jobs. What is sad, that like another "fool" said "they have enough money, and are lying to us" .
