Nintendo Gaming / RE: Dvorak: Wii will "dominate the future of gaming"

« on: March 04, 2007, 03:32:14 PM »

Dvorak is an @$$...I'm in the IT industry and people IN the industry don't take his articles seriously. The guy loves to cause a stir. He stated years ago Apple wouldn't be around today. The guy is a Microsoft fanboy, but then will b*tch about them.  

The Wii has no doubt caused a stir in the gaming industry, but I don't need Dvorak to tell me that.

Well if you are going to buy a gamecube I would definitely say buy the one with the progressive scan connection.  Well worth it in my opinion.  Or buy the Wii

Then forget what I said about emulation

But I will keep my GameCube for sentimental reasons.  I will eventually pick up a Wii.

Just a note...This Xmas I went everywhere and couldn't find a Wii. I got pretty fed up and bought an Xbox360.

I think the Wii offers games and playability that the Xbox360/PS3 doesn't offer. I think these machines actually complement each other. Which is why I got the Xbox360.

I won't get the PS3 for other reasons I won't state here...

To the original poster, I can only assume prices on the gamecube will go down, unless you have some rare one.

If you are going to purchase a GameCube I would suggest trying to grab one with the digital video OUT.  These were on the first models.

You can read about it here:

With a special wire you can view many games in 480P mode, and they look REALLY nice.

My original gamecube had it, so I was fortunate.  I guess when The Gamecube came out few people were using digital let alone component wires back then!

Now though, many people have TV capable of this.

Otherwise you can just get a Wii, but I heard the GC emulator on it is not that good...

Still, it's nice to pick up GC games now for around $20 or less
