For all intents and purposes they could have released the Wii-mote and nunchuck with the sensor bar and the GC would have had the same core functionality. The Wii is a lazy execution at best from a company who thinks they can slap a new coat of paint on an old car and sell it as innovative. sure, the GC was an OK machine, I even have one floating around my closet somewhere. but, still the

Mario, Zelda etc. that horse has been beaten so much all that is left is a puddle of blood and tissue. and everything else on the Wii platform just makes the system the king of weird quirky no-quality games. The word "hardcore" has been tossed away by their own hands. and they haven't earned the right to reclaim it.
