pretty much the same graphics but more memory I think. Built in memory for game saves is always nice. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 08:46
not sure why I would know that -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:45 5
- I suppose it's not common knowledge. The Wii is a repurposed GameCube. - Mop Nov 3, 08:49 4
  - The processore/graphics aren't identical. The Wii's may be based of the GC's, but they have been improved from the latter. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 08:57 1
    - Maybe new generations of the same thing. But unlike new generations of PS and Xbox, the underlying guts of the Wii are the same as those of the GC. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 09:07
  - I think I had heard you can use GC controllers on Wii but reusing hardware and those algorithms is normal in most programming -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:50
  - Yup. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 08:50
