It's called hyperbole and everyone does it, like you just did!

I'm not sure I get this. The Wii is literally a Gamecube with extra memory and faster processing. It's why the backwards compatibility is perfect, because it doesn't need to emulate anything. If the system can play Wii games, it logically follows it is physically perfectly capable of Gamecube playback. I understand perfectly well that the Wii U will not have Gamecube controller or memory card ports, but it should be possible to simply program the system to convert the Wii-U controller input into Gamecube controller input, as well as create virtual Gamecube memory cards (note that really they should have done that with the Wii).

It's not that it kills my interest in the system. It's just that it would be like the Gameboy Advance being able to play Gameboy Color games but not original Gameboy games. The Wii is THAT close to the Gamecube. It seems like such a simple thing to do, and let's face it, if they solve the storage issue then selling old Gamecube games would really be a lucrative market right up there with the rest of the virtual console (Only not so virtual, since they wouldn't even require development of an emulator).

Basically I'm saying I'd rather not have to pull my Gamecube out of storage and stick it up there next to my Wii U.
