Look, graphics don't make the games. It's the creativity and how fun the game is. I don't give a flying crap about graphics. Sure, it'll be nice, but it's not on top of what makes games fun. Sure, Halo may have some good graphics. With the wavy grass and extra-detailed interior of the warthogs, but do I care? No. I don't, because I don't find Halo fun. You may not like Gamecube because its graphics are the sux compared to XBox and PS2, but the graphics on Gamecube are par with both systems. It may not be the best, but some of the games on the Gamecube are superior with the graphics.

Also, with Nintendo doing that. It's not their fault that you can't find old games for past systems in stores like Wal-Mart and Best Buy. Your best bet to find them is at a gaming store, like Gamestop. Also, why would developers make games for an "outdated" system when a new system is out? They gradually stop developing games for the old system and then start focusing on the new system. It's been like that, and it's not going to stop anytime soon. The only real exception is Playstation. There are still new games coming out for it, because of backward compatibility that PS2 has.
