I am a Nintendo supporter, but lately I haven't been liking the moves of Nintendo:

- Doing a significative price cut in the 3DS few months after the release. They tried to reward us with 10 free NES games, but they can't be taken very serious.

- The Sliding Button expansion. I hope that many games won't require that. The 3DS Ambassadors could at least claim it for free.

- Wii Family Edition. Really, they've got to be kidding. No retrocompactibility anymore and vertical stand? I wonder if this continues to be classified as a "Wii".

Come on, when I learnt about the Family Edition of Wii and its new characteristics, I'm sure it will be a Deja-Vu of the Game Boy Micro. A waste of money, aswell it is not compactible with the previous console games.

And Wii U isn't too much far to reach the market, I find this a total waste of money. For me it isn't a Wii already. My Wii DOES is a Wii: vertical stand, very first edition bought in European release date with the very first wrist strap version. And retrocompactibility for the win, or else I couldn't play games like Luigi's Mansion.

Haha, same! I have the crappy design as well, but that means I was able to mod and hack it with no consequences.

So you're saying the Wii Family Edition doesn't come with a vertical stand? Or it doesn't fit into the stand?

It doesn't come with the vertical stand the new Wii, it is only horizontal.

I think the casual gaming flipped Nintendo's head completely. :tssk:

It doesn't seems from them, why are they lately being doing nonsense stuff?

I have no idea. Aside from the Wii-U, I really don't see what they're trying to accomplish at the moment. Besides, the Wii was never a hardcore gaming system in general and was never expensive. Why the Family Edition? I don't wanna play Brawl with a Wiimote.

And this just happened in Europe, because this edition does not exist in NA or Japan. Can you imagine the trouble this gives to European players that wanted a Wii compactible with GCN games and accessories?

What they are going to do now? eBay search for older editions? Buying an NTSC console and mod-chip it?

Are they replacing the original Wii or selling it as well as the original?

The European Nintendo surely thinks that no one cares about GameCube already, which I think that's bullshit.

Er… I don't find the situation so dramatic… :| If people want to play GC games, they just have to keep their GC. Or in the improbable case the would want to play GC games without having a GC, well, the console is findable for only 30 €.
Retro-compatibility is cool, it's sad that it's removed, but it's mostly a bonus. A Wii is used to play Wii games. That's it.
And with a Wii controller ! Except Smash Bros. Brawl and VC/Wiiware Games, every games are playable with the Wiimote. At worth, there is the classic controller (pro edition) that is also well done. :/

And as Haruka said : Wii-U will be released soon. So who would buy a Wii ? Not a large amount of people. :/ Since the console is in its end of life, it's normal that a "lower-version" comes out. People who will buy that Wii Family Editions won't buy it to play GC games, or to play SSBB with a GC controller. They will buy it because it isn't expensive, and they didn't need a Wii before.
Anyway, who cares ? Does somebody here want a Wii Family Edition with GC retro-compatibility ? :P Come on, since you have a Wii with retro-compatibility, why complaining ?^^

And about the vertical stand… Well… Is this really a matter !? :shock: N64 and GC didn't have a vertical stand, but were usable though. :p
Your eyes are not ready for this, and your brain not prepared for that.
You should probably instead play some of these, or watch some of those.
