Looming issue of setups for brawl

[sneakytako]

As you all may know, new wii's do not come with game cube ports, thus replacing broken wiis for brawl has/will become much more difficult. Considering that brawl already messes up your wii long term with it's dual sided disk, I'm beggining to see a trend where less and less people are willing to bring their wii's to tournaments and risk damaging a wii with gamecube ports. Is there anything but collect and repair old wiis to combat this problem? What does everyone else think?

Scour pawn shops. The large majority of Wiis out there are still the old type.

Wait, new Wiis won't have Gamecube controller ports? Really?

Yeah, and they're the same price...

Nintendo now receives all of my hate.

How long would it take for a brawl disc to mess up a wii? =\

Depends on the Wii. Brawl disc is dual layer which is harder on the laser. If you want to preserve your Wii's laser, softmod and use an external HDD to play your games on when you're at home.

WTF?! The new Wii's don't have gamecube ports? what in the world?...So that means they are not backwards compatible, as in if you put a gamecube disc it won't work?

Nevermind, looked it up. So they still sell normal Wii's along side this new family edition wii's. For how long though.

Once again, does it really matter? The number of Wiis out there with backwards compatibility dwarfs the scene substantially.
