And that's fine too, I think. This is what gave the Wii the perfect backwards compatibility, allowing many more people to enjoy Gamecube games on original hardware without getting a Gamecube, which are way more expensive today.

And you know, the Wii is like a beast when it comes to sub HD stuff. It's the most powerful console that ever released that wasn't designed with HD TVs in mind. That lead to many Wii games just looking really damn good and clean. Seriously, Mario Galaxy on a CRT in RGB looks absolutely stunning.

But maybe they did go to far trying the same thing again with the Wii U.

A hacked Wiiu though, chef's kiss

Absolutely. The Wii U modding community is really active, I feel like there's something new every few months. I love it!
