[QUOTE="XDel, post: 4871272, member: 310863"] I love it when people say that the Wii had no great games, or even the Wii U for that matter. Between Rygar, Pandora's Tower, and the Metroid Prime Trilogy, to just touch the tip of the ice burg, I was addicted to my Wii like none other! Still play it and my DSiXL more than my PC, classic XBOX, Dreamcast, etc. Though some of that is for retro console gaming too, I.E. Turbo GFX CD and Sega CD titles. Can't get enough of those RPG's lately! In regards to backwards compatibility... well that only makes sense. In fact I'm kind of sad that they dumped Gamecube support too. What would it cost to have kept those game ports intact on the Wii U? Pennies? Anyhow I don't really understand why every game console is a whole new invention of it's own rather than being based upon older tech like what Nintendo is doing, Amiga did (though not just a gaming machine), and PC's still do till this day. On that note, I think Steam has the right idea. Make PC's comfortable for the living room, invent something better than those God forsaken analog sticks, and give us something we can slap a new video card in when needed... I can't imagine we'd need more than 16Gb of RAM and a Quad Core 3.x Ghz CPU any time soon. Heck the laptop I'm typing this one still pulls of some amazing games and it's time on earth is expired according to habits of the modern mindless consumer. [/QUOTE]
