When I do get one tough, I'll probably sell my GC on eBay. Or maybe hook it up elsewhere in the apartment.
: Zach... I meant to tell you (and have forgotten for weeks now) that I tried
: RE4 and a few other GC games on the Wii. They are exactly the same
: experience as they were on the GC. I was going to say that once you got
: your Wii you could throw out your GC, and you probably can, however I
: cannot. One of my favorite games for GC was never released in the U.S.
: (Nintendo Puzzle Challenge), and so I ordered a Japanese import and the
: "Free Loader", a loader that allowed the U.S. GC to play
: Japanese games. I remember I had read somewhere that there was a rumor
: that maybe Wii might not be region coded. So, I tried just playing the
: game. The Wii said the disc was unreadable. So then I tried inserting my
: "Free Loader" disc. The Wii said that was unreadable as well.
: So, it looks like at the moment I have no way to play NPC, but to hook my
: GC up again. Assholes!
: I also thought that I would mention, while some may claim that Zelda is
: merely a GC game with the Wii version adding the Widescreen and Wiimote
: functionality, I would like to clarify that this is only rivaled by RE4
: for the title of the Best GameCube Game ever, and that widescreen improves
: it significantly, as does the Wiimote. The graphics are hard to compare to
: RE4. RE4 was all about realism, and no Zelda game will ever be focused on
: realism. They are stunning graphics, and least as stunning as RE4's, in
: their own way. But we're not really seeing what the Wii is capable of yet.
: From what Nintendo and third party developers have said, the Wii is a bit
: more than twice as powerful as the GC. While this is not enough to allow
: Wii to pump out HD quality games, it should enable the Wii to do virtually
: anything imaginable in 480P.
