    well the wii is also a gamecube and its a wii so it's kind of a nobrainer if you only care about price, a used wii can be $10 and a $5 USB stick for infinite games.
    i prefer playing on the gamecube, but it's kind of expensive to get started if you want good video quality and a hardmod for swiss autoboot.
    the gamecube looks fricking cool. it's a freakin cube, buy the cube. cube!!!

    Probably even huh. The gamecube has the digital port that in practicality puts out digital to HDMI and it has the port on the bottom for the awesome gameboy player. But the wii can run gamecube games on better hardware, letting you do stuff like enable 60fps cheats without slowdown. So I guess it's a tie. Wiis are cheaper right? I think that makes the Wii undeniably better if you can't or are unwilling to spend more

      I don't even have a Wii anymore. I find the Gamecube + Wii U combo better. I still have GameCube and Gameboy player functionality, and the Wii U still does everything the Wii did (including piss easy piracy) but with HDMI, the Wii U's library, and if you prefer, still the option to use the Wii component cable too. Also opens up the door to playing DS games as well. The only downside is no GC ports if you use it for things like SSBB, since the official adapter only works with SSB4 because lolnintendo.

          False. The Gamecube has the superior look, the superior controller, the superior library, HDMI compatible via DOL-001 model Gamecube, and you can attach the Game Boy Player. The Wii on the other hand looks soulless and has no real personality, the library of games are shit and the controller is awful.

            "Superior library" that you can play on the Wii. The library is a matter of taste but you're a liar if you say anything on the Gamecube is better than Mario Galaxy or The Last Story.

            The Wii has a very clear aesthetic and has an emulator for literally everything that doesn't need a disc to play. I can't defend the AV output but it has the Gamecube beat in every other area. Like it's not even close.

                False but that's also off-topic
                Nevertheless, you can play your beloved Sunshine on the Wii with better performance to boot.

    Heavily leaning towards the Wii as far as actual Gamecube games are concerned. You can get the performance boost with Nintendont and an HDMI mod that you can still push to a CRT as 480p which also enables proper digital Dolby Surround Sound again. The Wii U can't even do video output right for Wii games (yet) so even that can't compare. Game Boy Player is neat with the recent homebrew developments so the Gamecube might be the best GBA consolizer unless you want to go the FPGA route.

    Wii is the logical choice given homebrew, but I'd still pick GCN for the nuances.
    >that nice, ambient BIOS
    >GBA player and broadband adapter
    >no fricking with the wiimote and wii menu just to load a gamecube game
    >controller ports are in a better location
    >isn't named after a dick
    Even the addition of the Wii library isn't a major draw for me since the Wii has effectively no games worth playing. I always used my Wii for playing GCN games anyway, which really just makes it a slightly more inconvenient GCN. Maybe some people legitimately sit around playing SNES and GBA emulators on a Wii in 2023 and think this is somehow a major draw, but it couldn't be me.

      I never use my wiimote or wii menu, and the awkward infrared wii receptor is safely guarded. My Wii is set to boot directly to HBC and I use GCN controls always.

        Yeah this is the right way to do it, I haven't used a Wiimote or seen the Wii bios menu in years. Boot into the homebrew channel and you can jump quickly into Nintendont or any emulator/loader you might like, it's all you need. If you're whining about the home menu and can't take the time to figure out how to optimize your Wii experience, that's a you problem.

    Just wanted to point out that you can actually access the original GameCube menu on a Wii if you set up Nintendont to do so. I don’t really use it but like the novelty, so for that reason and the fact that progressive video output is cheaper to do, I prefer Wii more overall.
    However, the Gamecube does look nicer and ages better since it has less glossy plastic.

      But it doesnt have the Gameboy player, how could it be better? It's not like you can play Sega CD snatcher with a Wii mote as a light gun or anything.

      For what it's worth the Wii's widescreen is actually fake and just a squashed image, it can't actually output in any higher a resolution than the Gamecube. That's why when you're using it for emus and such you should have it set to 4:3 for perfect pixels.

      But it doesnt have the Gameboy player, how could it be better? It's not like you can play Sega CD snatcher with a Wii mote as a light gun or anything.

      The gameboy player's a great piece of hardware but the Wii emulation's more than good enough to cover for it now. mgba's autistically accurate and still getting updated even for Wii.

        Are you guys bots? I'm obviously being ironic, because as you dumbasses didn't even notice .... the Wii can play snatcher with a wiimote for the light gun. Holy low IQ shit

      When I realized I could do GameCube on vWii through nintendont I was super hyped but I was quickly disappointed by the under scan. I was really thinking it would be the best picture quality on native hardware. I ended up selling my Wii U to a friend haha

    A few people in this thread say the Wii isn't retro... but it doesn't even have a HDMI port, and it can output 240p. Even the OG Xbox can't output a 240p signal and it came out a few years earlier.

    Wii is better. Virtual console,.better library (better Mario games, same Zeldas besides wind waker) and tons and tons more 3rd party titles. Plus Wii sports was GOAT shit at the time. And it had online multiplayer games. Nobody cared about PSO2 before some GameCube gay brings up the only online GameCube game

    And it looked cooler.

    Wii. The only shortcomings that the Cube still has on the Wii is the GB Player and the Broadband adapter for certain games (unless I'm wrong about this).
