Yeah, I've have to admit that I basically "left" Nintendo after the N64, and instead of the GC I bought a PS2. The result? I played a bunch of forgettable games and immediately told myself "Okay, next console must be a Nintendo one."
I've heard a lot of complaints about not having enough games on the Wii to play, and compaints about GC "New Play Control" ports. To be honest, I love those ports, and they basically make up for not having enough new games. In case you didn't know, the GC was not popular, and a lot of people (like me) didn't buy it. Which means we didn't get to play the Prime games, Pikmin, Jungle Beat, Sunshine, Windwaker, etc....and getting to play those in widescreen on the Wii is pretty good.
Now, I have huge stack of Wii games gathering dust because I'm head deep into the 3DS, but that's another story.
