      If the dollar bill is too crumpled it can’t read off the data track in it, so it spits it out. Very annoying.

    The Wii U can actually run GameCube games natively, and they could've easily just given us that backwards compatibility as an option. Genuinely one of the only complaints I had with the Wii U

    • @derealized797
      @derealized797 10 місяців тому +11

      At first the wii was backwards compatible with GameCube games, later versions removed backwards compatibility. I wish they would just let us have it, they know people want it there. Xbox is the only one that does focus on it, Nintendo seems more interested in charging us to play our old games again, and sony... it's more complicated. But now they're doing the same.

    The weird thing is you can pull up an original Wii menu on the Wii U and the Wii at least the regular version played Gamecube games so its kind of strange. I guess it's the whole idea of reverse compatibility being erased after each generation from Gamecube-Wii, Wii-Wii U, GB to GBC to GBA, GBA to DS, DS-3DS. I could go on its just crazy to think about.

      actually the Wii U is perfectly cable of playing GameCube games through the same "channel" the Wii did (both versions, the family version did not lose GameCube support, just the GameCube disc support), it's complicated, something to do with turning off cores, when the cpu architecture is very similar. In any way if you mod your Wii U you can play GameCube games at pretty much the exact same performance as a Wii

      No, the Wii U's optical drive will not read media that isn't a Wii or Wii U disc. It does not matter if you softmod the console or not. I don't know where you get this information from, did you make it up?

      ​@@jtchoi2003Nintendont is a homebrew app for the Wii that will load GameCube ISO files from a USB drive. It will also run on the Wii U if you use a USB adapter for the GameCube controllers. It's not an emulator like Dolphin. Instead the Wii U has hardware similar enough to the GameCube to run GameCube games.
      There's no reason that Nintendo couldn't have made the Wii U backwards compatible with the GameCube apart from the fact that they didn't want to. All they would have had to do is make the optical drive capable of reading GameCube discs. They already made the USB GameCube controller adapter for Smash. Maybe they could've made a USB memory card reader, though Nintendont can store your GC save files on a disk instead.
      Nintendont can also enable the Wii Mini & the later models of Wiis that didn't have the GameCube ports to play GameCube games without emulation.

    Both the Wii and Wii U can actually read DVDs and play them when running a homebrew video player application of some sort. Pretty much they don’t natively support it as the console would of otherwise been significantly more expensive because of Toshiba’s licensing costs to use the DVD format.

From what I heard, I knew the Wii U would not accept Game Cube disc, but it surprises me that it spits the disc out. It makes me wonder, did the disc slot read you were putting a disc in, so it sees if it's big enough to accept, but if it's small enough, it spits it out? If anything with a round end gets put in, is it the same result?
