Topic: Is Nintendo saving Gamecube, Wii Virtual Console for their next console?

The fail rate for HDDs is quite a bit higher than it is for decent flash. And allowing expansion via USB is just as valuable if more more than having an empty bay for a media-centre style device. It's all good and well for techies to talk about how easy a HDD upgrade is but a fair chunk of consumers would freak out about the idea.

Anyways, the fact is that storage is getting cheaper faster than games are getting bigger. The premium Wii U lets you store about two "average" full sized games. For the same price they spent on that flash in 2012 they could fit ~8 games now, and upto ~32 by the time I reckon they'll be ready for the successor. And by average size I mean games like Bayonetta 2 or Batman, a lot of games like 3D World, Wind Waker HD and Nintendo Land are about a tenth of that size.

Someone just needs to call to Nintendo to ask if they are being lazy, so we can finally know the truth.
Man this made me lolled so hard.

That's not emulating it, that actually runs on the Wii's hardware, but I do think the Wii U can emulate both of the "Dolphin" consoles.

I'd laugh harder if they said "ask later. We're too lazy to answer"

On that note, "lazy" seems to be such an overused word on the internet
