1. It had better graphics than the ps2
2. It twice as many controller ports than the ps2
3. It was the ONLY home gaming console aside from the Neo Geo that was truly like having an arcade hooked up to your tv. ( Most of the games were direct arcade ports and graphically it perfectly emulated the smooth 3D fluidity of the actual arcade machines from which they were ported. This was a big deal after sega's previous letdowns like the 32X which had " Equal to & Better than the arcades " stamped on it's box )
4. It was the first home game machine with online access, and it's built in modem can be replaced with a network card and hooked up to to the internet, or to a LAN or WAN
5. The games were, and are, in a word, " THE BEST " ( ok two words )

The Resident Evil Code Veronica Games
Phantasy Star online
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2
Ecco the Dolphin
Skies of Arcadia
Blue Stinger
Dynamite Cop!
Gauntlet Legends
Soul Calibur
Spawn
Cannon Spike

And perhaps the greatest multiplayer free for all game ever

Powerstone 2

BUt serisously...I had a GC....it was alright. I think people praise it alot more just because it isn't around....I mean the controller looks almost as retarded as teh N64 controller. And I'm sorry but I don't think I can agree with 80% of the games you listed there.

Quoted for truth

Sega made the best consoles ever (32X notwithstanding) and one day they'll make them again.

DOWN WITH SONY AND MICROSOFT!!!!! Nintendo are OK because they were founded upon gaming (started off making playing cards).

NO MORE NON-GAME FOUNDED COMPANIES MAKING CONSOLES!!!!!!

The 32X had huge potential. Playing games like Stellar Assault make me wish it had lived up to what it could have been.

I just started playing Melee again after a year or two. I like it so much more than Brawl. I'm trying to get the Ice Climbers over 1000 KOs in VS Mode.

Brawl is only a little bit suckier than Melee and Melee is a little bit suckier than the original. But they all so awesome.

I don't know. Brawl is the best Smash Bros game I've played so far. I am undefeated as Kirby

You can use the it for Mario Kart and a couple of others I think.
The nunchuck controls work brilliantly for Mario Galaxy and Okami , I would prefer using them over the GC controller.

The remote and the nunchuck does indeed work brilliantly for Mario Galaxy. Swimming is a little tricky, but it seems to work perfectly for that game, which in my opinion is the best game on the wii

Next game I am going to pick up for the Wii is Super Paper Mario.. if it is half as funny as the other two, I'm sold. Mario games are great to put a smile on your face.
