So who here wants to write to Nintendo, and about the Gamecube attachment idea?

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 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.

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.

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.

I think we're mall wasting our time treating this topic seriously.  It belongs in a Dr. Seuss book.

[RegalSin]

First

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.

[nintendodork]

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.

[RegalSin]

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.

[nintendodork]

if it was built

It won't be.

I am talking about a limited time offer, high priced, slap to all the Wii owners,

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)!

[RegalSin]

how low do you want to go, then?

in terms of the Wii?

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.

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.

[son_ov_hades]

Can't one of the admins do us all a favor and just ban RegalSin already?

[L___E___T]

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.

[RegalSin]

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.

A 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" .
