When the Wii launched, a few pundits called it “two GameCubes taped together”, which I thought was a bit rude and overly dismissive.
Years later, I started really looking into the technical side of things, and oh my goodness it really is almost two GameCubes taped together. I mean, it works wonderfully and I’m not knocking it, but IIRC the majority of what’s under the hood is either an upgraded version of what was in the GCN, or a doubling of the capacity (in some cases literally two) of the same component.
My middle age crisis retro tech collection compulsion is begging me to shout at you to take those brittle plastics out of direct sunlight. Those readily available, dirt cheap, well emulated plastics.
I mean, at least the Wavebird receiver. Won't somebody think of the Wavebird receiver.
That VCR is from my parents, they don’t use it anymore. I don’t really have any tapes for it though.
We had the first 3 Star Wars movies on VHS, which was the reason I set the thing up. Unfortunately, these tapes have somehow disappeared completely, they are nowhere to be found.
So it’s just decoration for now, but I’ll definitley get some other movies one day. Thank you for your comment!
