You know how many people still own a gamecube? You know why? Cause of the games, especially super smash bros melee, Imagine how many people would probably had a wii u if It was able to play gamecube game disc or they ported Melee and other "Nintendo Selects" Over to wii u? Super smash bros HD collection, Sonic adventure DX 2 battle and heroes.. maybe shadow the hedgehog HD collection, Sonic Riders HD collection, Zelda Ocarina of time, majora's mask, and 4 swords adventure HD, F-Zero hd collection, Kirby HD collection. Look how many people like the gamecube games. So many cherished games for gamecube would have made the console popular, even just native support for it would have, by game disc, I'm glad it supports wii games but wish it was least possible to use game pad or Pro controller it unlike having to spend maybe $20 on WII Virtual console for Xenoblade chronicles to use game pad.
To be honest, yes it would maybe cost more to make the system and maybe worth $400 But remember, at launch there was two packages, Standard white 8 GB system, and Deluxe black 32GB system, From $250 - $350, with tax it was about $20 away to paying $400, That $100 difference was not worth it. What came with deluxe?
Nintendo land.
Game pad Charge station and stand.
32GB internal storage.
$100 difference. For $350, I would be glad to have Gamecube support. Or more storage, at least 250GB, instead we got to buy external harddrive and need that funny cable cause the system itself can't even give enough power using one usb port. It needs two.
I'm not here to start trouble or be upset, i just sharing my opinion, i really want nintendo consoles and games to susceed, i hope they do, but so far, the only thing they managed to do with sucess regarding WII u was Securing Bayonetta 2 exclusive, Delevopers giving players of super smash bros what they want, Mario kart 8, Super mario 30 anniversary game (Super mario maker) And Splatoon, the game to take attention away from Call of duty or other FPS games. I wouldn't know what to say about amiibo, seem sucessful but i never bought one, it reminds me of skylanders and disney infinity, i'm not much of a novelty collector, just a video game player Hyrule warriors seem like a dynasty warriors clone, if it maybe was like ninja gaiden i would have to be interested, that what made me want to play Metroid Other M. Only capcom game on there is Monster hunter, which is more advertised on 3DS than wii u, no other capcom game exist. (Ducktales remastered doesn't count and neither does the VC games)
Sorry i don't mean bad i just made a statemen of my opinion and feelings. I rather wait and see if they sucker me into pre ordering this system, if they do, well let's hope is a good decision.
