Is the Wii the new game cube?

So far on the wii i really dont see much to appeal to the older demographic. i mean sure there's metroid but really unless you've always been a metroid fan i see it as hard to pick up and enjoy it as the righteous fps that it is. Its great for fun but with no real online capabilities to match xbox live or similar i dont see it as really ever being on the same level as the 360 or ps3. This sucks. i would love to see a Call of duty 4 or a Assassins Creed type game for the Wii, but unfortunatly with the wii-mote opening a whole bunch of new doors, they have also slammed shut alot that would allow games like assassins creed to happen.


That being said its a completely different type of console and a ridiculous amount of fun none the less.


when the f@#$ is supersmash bros 3 coming out?
