>PS2 games play mostly like shit on PS3>Most Xbox games dont work on Xbox 360>All Gamecube games and most accessories work perfectly fine with the WiiHow come only Nintendo managed to have 100% backwards compatibility? The only downside to playing GC games on Wii is some resolution shit no one cares about. You can even have the GC system menu with a modded Wii.
>>12268332>How come only Nintendo managed to have 100% backwards compatibility?The Wii is to the GameCube what the PS5 Pro is to the PS5, or the Xbox One X is to the Xbox One. Wise up, Nintentroon.
not retro
>>12268348>The Wii is to the GameCube what the PS5 Pro is to the PS5I think you overestimate the power of the Wii here
Can a modded Wii be set up to play games from other regions without using a boot disc?
>>12268332Wii uses the same hardware as Gamecube, shrunken down and overclocked. The only real difference is extra main system RAM.
>>12268332>The only downside to playing GC games on Wii is some resolution shit no one cares about.?
>>12268385yeah, weve been able to do this for years.
>>12268348im a xfag actually
>>12268402Fixed in all homebrew btw. Wii replaces the cuck cube completely.
>>12268332>what do you mean this console that is the same as this previous console is a better retro-compatible console than these other console that are completely different from the previous console.
>>12268332Wii had shittier video out than the gamecube, Gamecube games literally looked worse playing on a Wii
I never ran into an issue playing an Xbox game on my 360. But I never wandered too far off the beaten path. I wish I could play Scarface on my series X though.

>>12268487Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat can't play on the 360. And I tried playing Call of Cthulhu and it didn't work, even though it's on all the compatible lists.
>>12268332>How come only Nintendo managed to have 100% backwards compatibility?Because they are cheap fucking assholes and Wii is nothing but GameCube plus
>>12268332Wii was basically just a GameCube with a motion control gimmick added on.
thread still up
>/vr/ones see a wii and instantly assume it's a 7th gen threadbased op exposing the illiteracy crisis on the modern internet.
>>12268435What if I don't like having to use a Wii remote to navigate the menu or play 90% of Wii games
>>12268812fixed in homebrew
>>12268478It actually has much better quality composite video output, but of course the average poser only cares about component.
>>12268812use priiloader
>>12268812Autoboot into usbloader or some other launcher.
>>12268332They repacked the gamecube into a white case with a waggle gimmick.
>>12268332And a modded wii U can play any nintendo console upto that point. Its actually bonkers.
The Wii is a souped up GameCube.The PS3 and 360 use entirely different architectures from their predecessors.(though early PS3 models did include some PS2 hardware just for backwards compatibility)
>>12268332Yeah but can you play n64 cartridges on wii? NOPE you can play ps-one on ps-triple though :)
>>12268332Plenty of ps2 games got ported to the wii too with motion controls slapped on. I wonder why there was so many though? I remember the Scarface port was pretty decent because its the only wii games I remember giving a shit about more options than game volume and music volume.
>PS2 games play mostly like shit on PS3Only early launch models utilized PS2 hardware, making a PS3 equivalent to a PS2 slim (which technically still had obscure compatibility issues due to how PS1 emulation is handled on them). Later models relied on software-based emulation that was generally pretty awful until it was disabled entirely on later PS3 slims. Anything sold digitally off PSN was fine though, although I would advise against buying God Hand because the input lag makes it damn near unplayable.>Most Xbox games dont work on Xbox 360Xbox compatibility was entirely software based and was enabled on a per-game basis, even though the whitelisted games still usually had compatibility issues. If you have a hacked 360 you can disable the whitelist to play any game: some games work fine, other games make it very obvious why Microsoft decided to go with a whitelist system.>All Gamecube games and most accessories work perfectly fine with the WiiThe Wii's CPU and GPU are both upgraded versions of the Gamecube's CPU and GPU. Aside from physical hardware and OFW limitations any Wii is 100% compatible with Gamecube games because people weren't joking when they said the Wii is just two gamecubes stapled together.
>>12268332>>PS2 games play mostly like shit on PS3I haven't had any issues, what problems are you having?
>>12268435Main reason I still use a dedicated GameCube is because it's a pain in the dick to need a wiimote to navigate the main menu and boot the game, and then switch to GC controller after. Ridiculous how they never allowed you to just use a GC controller for the UIThe other reason is the gameboy player
>>12269913homebrew fixes that
>>12268812>Wii remoteIt's called a Wiimote, please remember that for next time thanks
>>12269913I don't know why no one ever tried to hack or patch the Wii Menu to let you use a Gamecube controller to navigate it. It seems like a lot is already in place for it to work considering you can navigate the Wii Menu using a Classic controller. I'm sure I'm naive about it but it seems like it would be incredibly easy to just like trick the menu into thinking the Gamecube ports are Classic controllers.
>>12268857And millions of people bought them and it became a worldwide phenomenon and decades later one angsty child lost they/thems shit about it
>>12268332Can I play GameCube and Wii games on Switch?
>>12268625And it sold like hotcakes and Nintendo won that generation of the console war
>>12268332Because it was literally a Gamecube.
>>12268332Cube is used by autistic speedrunners, smush players, and for its current purpose. Consolized GBA. There is no other reason to buy it. In the case of speedrunning, the frame pacing of Dolphin/Wii/Wii U and NSO emulators will always beat that of the OG GC. Even though CRT makes up for the input lag problem, you'll always be slower than a guy running a suboptimal version of Dolphin on his phone. That's how depressing the frame pacing problems on old consoles are. For autistic smushers, something about original consoles and shit. idk vanilla is broken and there are people who play that for money.
>>12268332Because the wii is a gamecube with new peripherals
