Wow what an awesome setup! I don't think I could handle more than 2 consoles at a time, but that's truly impressive what you have there!

I was going to complain that Matt doesn't have a Gamecube, but then noticed that you have a GC controller... that must mean that the gamecube games *really* work on the Wii, right? :)

Oh yes, and I have a pretty nice Gamecube collection:

Not quite as good as Mattcube64 but its got a Wii!

In the pics are Wii, Wii Games, NGC Game, DS games DS , DS Lite, GBC, GBA and GBC games(in black bags under the DS) plus my 2nd Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Lastly my 3rd Nun chuck and Wii remote still in plastic because I haven't need them yet.

Hey Zap, how do you like COD3 on the Wii? I picked up Red Steel, and it's total crap. The controls are terrible, the graphics aren't even up to first-gen Gamecube standards, and the cutscenes are weak. However, I really want a FPS to show off the Wiimote with. Would you reccomend COD3? How does it control? Have you had a chance to play Red Steel so you could compare the two?

Thanks.

Plus, you're a lucky man finding that nunchuck. I can't find it anywhere, lol.:(

Sucks you can't find the NunChuck, there were SO many when I bought mine(I was 12th in line so I'm sure that helped)

As for Red Steel vs Call of Duty 3, well I'm a fan of Red Steel I've gotten the hand of the controls and I love it. COD 3 I think does a good job for game play, but for graphic its similar to COD2, maybe a little better. I like COD 3 all around, but then again I like Red Steel so you might not like COD 3 anymore then Red Steel

I was in Target last night picking up a copy of Zelda:TP for my future Wii when someone returned an unopened system! So in a massive stroke of luck, I went home very happy. :D

Sorry about the poor quality camera phone pics, but it's all I can do at the moment.

Nice setups.

Generally how long is it between releases of these consoles? I was thinking of getting a Wii, but wondering how long before it is outdated.

Well PS2 came out in 2000, replaced in 2006,GameCube came out in 2001, Wii came out in 2006 so 5 years give or take a year.


And even when its replaced it can still be used, and most likely will be supported for a good year after it was "replaced" xBox is still getting a few games, and 360 been out for a year.
