Personally, I'm keeping my GameCube - It's the first console I got at launch and couldn't fathom selling it for the nothing price I'd get out of it. That, along with my GameBoy Player (which is the main way I play GBA games) and actually having a broadband adapter, I think I'll still get some use out of it. In fact, since they'll probably go for cheap, and since my other plans to get a second GCN failed, I'll probably try to find me a second one for multi-player GBA Four Swords, GBA connectivity titles and something to put my second Broadband adapter into...

A sentimental thing.The component cable and GB Player still work. I'm gonna eBay them. They go for good money on there.
I'll also ebay a bunch of GCN and GBA games too while I'm at it.

Selling:
• Gamecube + Player + 1 controller (gotta keep a couple for the docking station on the Wii!) + all cables and some games...
• SNES plus all its games (including some pretty good complete (boxes, manuals, maps, etc.) ones) and controllers and cables.
• A bunch of DS games.
I'm gonna sell it all at once to hit the "View Seller's Other Items" clickers. Plus, I combine shipping

One day all of you sellers will regret not being able to show your grandkids Nintendo's lunchbox, mark my words.

I too own every console Nintendo has ever made including the damn Virtual Boy. Granted half of them are in pretty poor condition and a couple simply don't fuction. But the sentimental value makes it hard to part with them. On the other hand with the Wii and its backwards compatability and virtual console there's probably no practical reason to keep them and I am considering a cross-country move so I'm better minimalizing my material possessions.
So I'm considering selling the whole load (maybe minus the VB) on eBay.

Yes. I own a major version of all. Except for some of the game watches. (I have Tetris and Mario 3 in those, though they don't work.)

(And coz I could never bear to part with it like I did my SNES - something I still regret)
Yeah - that was a mistake. I lent mine to a friend when I was drunk and when I finally came around, he'd moved to Australia with it (it took me a while to come around...)
Still - holding out high hopes for VC - I miss Starfox, Gradius, R-Type, ...

Since I'm pretty confident that the Wii's backwards compatibility is pretty sound, there's no functional reason to keep my GameCube, true...but unless I get much for it, I probably won't.
Still, it would be nice to spread some GameCube love and it may help to sell it. Or I could lend it out. After the PS2 came out, it wasn't too hard to borrow a friend's PlayStation to play Final Fantasy IX (I'd played VII and VIII on the PC so it was nice to finish off the third FF trilogy without having to buy a PSX) as well as a few other games, so by lending out my GameCube to people who never considered one, it may be of benefit to getting some Nintendo converts...or at least to make them more accepting of Nintendo.

obviously, I won't sell the games, nor my memory card and extra controller....

Yep, I've got every system since the NES, including the differnt revisions of each GameBoy. I even have a Game & Watch unit.

QuoteWell, the Freeloader and Game Boy Player may not work with the Wii..

I'm not concerned. The Wii is basically an amped up Gamecube, I can't imagine the backwards compatibility will be limited in any way.
Plus we already know it's compatible with Wavebirds and the Kongas and Dance Pad accessories.
The only practical reasons I can think of to keep the Gamecube is if you're REALLY attached to your Gameboy Player or play A LOT of Mario Kart over LAN or Phantasy Star Online.

QuoteThey did. It's called the Wavebird.
Will Nintendo bring out Wireless GC controllers to play GC games? plugging in GC controllers into the top of the wii looks ugly as heck!
EDIT: Unless you mean fully wireless (no receptor)..

Edit: Plus I will probably keep my Wii upright, and I don't want any cables to attach to the top of the system and possibly pull it over.
