The Nintendo Wii had finally made a successful nationwide launch on November 19, 2006 and since that launch, many gamers had actually picked up a console just to either test its wonderful new control and launch titles as well as the many features it had and the console had met with high demands that it's entirely sold out thanks to its affordable price tag and playable features. Though the Wii is a great successor to the already aging GameCube, the question now ask, would gamers replace their GameCube and just go with the Wii since it's also backward compatible with all GameCube titles and most accessories or will they keep it even though they already got the Wii. Knowing that the Wii can also download many of the classic games from Nintendo's NES, Super NES, and N64 lineup as well as many Sega Genesis and Turbo Graphx-16 titles, I think it's time I take this question into consideration. To me, I rather keep my GameCube, to the many that are planning to buy the Wii, you might consider this too before you replace yours, anyways, here are my five reasons why I decided to keep my GameCube even though I already bought a Wii.

Wii Got No WWE: While everybody is at home playing their PS3, X-Box 360, and Wii, I hap pended to play my wrestling game WWE Day of Reckoning 2 on my GameCube, which to me is the best wrestling title to ever hit the GameCube, heck it is even better than the just released WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2007 for the PS2 and X-Box 360 and to know that the Wii doesn't had any WWE wrestling titles at launch or upcoming is quite a letdown. There's a TNA Impact! wrestling game announced, but not yet release and no future WWE games had being confirm for the Wii. Until I hear any news of a WWE games for the Wii, my second Day of Reckoning is still here to stay.
