Overall, were you satisfied with the Wii?

[Samus Aran]

i think the same way you do ypr, i'm just playing by the rules of certain picky gamers here to prove that even within those boundaries, wii doesn't exactly triumph over the gamecube

[Kalahari Inkantation]

Idk, seems at least close to me...

[spoiler]Mario Sunshine
Luigi's Mansion
Animal Crossing (before it was done to death)
Mario Kart DD > MK Wii
SSBM = SSBB
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2
Pikmin
Pikmin 2
Billy Hatcher
Custom Robo
Tales of Symphonia
F-zero GX
Some Paper Mario game
Sonic Adventure Battle 2

Can't think of many Wii games that would be on par [/spoiler]

you...

you forgot wind waker

[spoiler]Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Kirby's Epic Yarn
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Monster Hunter Tri
No More Heroes
No More Heroes 2
Metroid Prime 3
Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Mario Kart Wii

And to be released:

Skyward Sword
Kirby Returns to Dream Land
Rhythm Heaven Wii

The quantities of our lists are even, but I think the overall average rating for the Wii games I listed is higher than what it would be for those GCN titles.

sonic adventure battle 2 is just a slightly enhanced port - can you really call it an exclusive? in addition, at least pikmin 1 was ported to the wii, as were both metroid prime games

...with shittier control

eh, i'd count those remakes as gcn exclusives for the purpose of this thread tbh

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i know it shouldn't, but this is tec we're dealing with.

okay, i mad

[Thyme]

No More Heroes

don't make me say it

[Samus Aran]

no more heroes is on the ps3, remember?

but yeah i actually forgot about nsmbwii, that's a great game.

honestly even if we disagree on which is better, i HOPE we're all smart enough to say that the gamecube is a lot better than people make it out to be. i honestly love that little cube, and i personally find some of the best games on it to be better than ANYTHING on the wii.

namely, wind waker and metroid prime are two of my absolute favorite games ever.

I

MAD

I've never even implied that those Wiimakes could no longer be considered GCN exclusives.  If it's exclusive within its own generation, it counts as exclusive.

[Samus Aran]

okay okay i confused you with nyerp sorry

[Kalahari Inkantation]

yeah i forgot about no more heroes

Still, the quality of the Wii's major exclusives is unbeatable.

[YPrrrr]

you...

you forgot wind waker

I included it, I swear, part of my list disappeared somewhere :'(

I disagree

[Kalahari Inkantation]

[YPrrrr]

Ok, so I got a little overzealous on a couple games (I still stand by Luigi's Mansion), but overall I don't see your huge gap... Those Wii titles come out to an average of 88.111 while the GC titles' average is 85.6875 although that is a result from having 7 more game scores including a 71, 65, and 73

[Thyme]

NMH2 is still an exclusive afaik

[Samus Aran]

i'd personally bump luigi's mansion up several points if it were up to me

p. great game, just way too short

[YPrrrr]

NMH2 is still an exclusive afaik

Its score is an 84, so less than the average of the Gamecube games
