Yes, it will be a spectacular failure, the same way every other console for the past 25 years without the ability to play movies has failed.

Uses for the Gamecube:
1) a coaster
2) a doorstop
3) something to prop up a table
4) something to hurl at your enemies
5) a target for target practice
6) a paper weight
7) a chair heightener (for little kids)
8) a stress reliever (take a baseball bat to it)
9) a small chair for fishing
10) a plant pot

It\'s only purple if thats the color you choose, they have plenty of other good looking colors.

Why does everyone want something more than a game machine. The PS2 and X-Box are nice and all because they play CDs and DVDs but seriously how many of those do you need? It\'s not like it\'s the same price as everything else just with less features, it\'s $100 cheaper than the rest, save the DC but we all know the unfortunate story of its fall. I think Nintendo has made the right moves so far and it certainly has enough great looking games to draw my interest from the X-Box, which has recently stoped short of impressing me. And besides the mini-DVD format is awsome, I was gonna get Sonic 2 on DC but with the kickass mini thingy im gonna wait. Because of its change from cartradge to disc I think Nintendo has drawn enough thirdparty developers to it to keep the great games coming, not to metion the already amazing first party team. Nintendo has plenty of money to pump into this project, from their amazing control of the handheld market, to keep the GC going for a while even if it sells poorly, which it might. Nintendo claims to be focusing more on adult games, which leaves me to ask what is up with Zelda, but even if that strategy fails they always have the younger market to keep the cash flowing. However, I personaly feel the GC will make up some of the ground it lost after the release of the 64 and will make a strong showing this generation, although, I could be wrong. Thats how I feel anyway.

What\'s so good about GC?
Nothing.

You can make Jam with it..
Kiddie taste of course ;) :D

There are no replys to me about this, basicialy this thread is just for having fun bashing the system. And yes, I should have replied earlier, but I have been watching the Star Trek Marathon non stop for the past few days.

please guy,give some year to the gamecube and the xbox!!!!
today,i saw some game from both console (game cube/xbox)
donkey racing:SUPERB GRAPHIC!!!
and halo (i think it was it)
i think that each console (ps2,gc,xbox) will have good game.
i have a ps2,will not buy a game cube because the game are toooooo "baby" for me.
and the x-box,don\'t know,will wait.
when the ps2 was released,how many good game it had?
even today,there is almost not many good ps2 game.
we need to wait

That\'s exactly what I was thinking. Don\'t you have to have over 500 posts before you can call people trolls on this forum? I guess some people just aren\'t very good at following the rules...

Your right Ironfist,..........Clyde has only done just under 200 posts so he can call anybody a newbie (mind you he is this forums one and only primate.........{looks at No-one} ok there are 2 of them).
Unless it was MM that posted that and didn\'t realise that Clyde was still logged on to his PC.
MM to avoid this get everyones fav\' Chimp his very own Laptop that way we can his primate words of wisdom 24/7.

mm cant afford a laptop, he spends all his money on his car, girlfriend, school, and something called "rolling rock"

Eiksirf, I didn\'t read through all those games, but I did notice that you put Final Fantasy as one of them as my eyes were passing over the list. Did you slip in games that you want to come to the NGC just to make the list bigger or what?

You\'re right. Rethought that one after I read around a bit afterwards. I was mainly thinking Final Fantasy XI and this rumor which I read yesterday: "According to several (unconfirmed) reports Square will announce support for Nintendo GameCube on October 12th, the first day of the Tokyo Game Show. Square is expected to reveal support for Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance. As part of the deal, enhanced versions of Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 may become GameCube exclusives. These remakes will take full advantage of the GameCube\'s capabilities. After the huge loss Square took from the Final Fantasy movie, they will need more than PS2 games to calm their investors. Square has stated that they would like to bring every SNES (Super Famicom) Final Fantasy game to the Game Boy Advance." - MIPS36
Plus there were the more widely reported rumors a week ago, but the lack of substance from those is what makes me wonder at this point.
Even so, my original point hasn\'t changed.

makes sense for square to need to go multi-platform after the loss they took cause of the moive, but remakes wont do it justice, atleast not to me...and until i hear square officially announce something, im not gonna listen to rumors....
square knows sony is the place to be to bring in the cash and i believe that theyll keep the FF series on the playstation for a long time.....

If you really aren\'t into the games, that\'s your opinion and you\'re entitled to it. I, however, am trying to figure out how I\'m going to afford Luigi, Wave Race, Super Smash Bros, Rogue Leader, Monkey Ball, Pikmin, Eternal Darkness (all exclusive), Madden, Tony Hawk 3, Sonic Adventure 2 (and it\'s interactive GBA title) by Christmas.
And if you really don\'t have an opinion on these games other than that they "look like" they\'re bad, you might want to surf around for some hands-on impressions. You won\'t be disappointed.
Of all the exclusive titles I\'ve listed, they\'ve all been raved about from those who\'ve experienced them. The only one that has faltered slightly is Luigi with its short game span. On the other hand, after playing it no one has said Luigi isn\'t worth your $50, either, they just said it was short.
Anyway, that\'s what\'s good. To be honest, I think your question should be "What\'s bad about Gamecube?" *fears pending flood of Nintendo bashing*
-Eik

keep in mind that monkey ball is not exclusive and will be on the ps2 as well officially stated by sega earlier last week...
and i have seen the gamecube in action via dvd movies....and...ill have my press conference tonight....lol
hope to see you all there...hahahahah

True, it is very possible (and very likely) that Square will bring the FF remakes over to the NGC. But until they officially announce it, it isn\'t true. Square should bring the remakes of FF7, 8, and 9 to the NGC for the same reason Capcom brought the RE series over to the NGC -- the Nintendo gamers are new to these games. Square will make tons more money bringing them over to the NGC than they would bringing it to the PS2.
Also, FF11 should go to all systems if it\'s going to be successful. I am really hoping the problems between Nintendo and Square are resolved just so that game turns out to be great. :)
Hopefully this TGS will shed some light on this subject.
Off Topic: At this TGS VF4 on the PS2 will also be shown. We will finally see if the PS2 is capable of handling games from the Naomi 2 board. Yay. :)
Anyway, that\'s what\'s good. To be honest, I think your question should be "What\'s bad about Gamecube?" *fears pending flood of Nintendo bashing*
lol. Yeah, that\'s not a good idea. :) There are tons of things I could bash the NGC for, but I won\'t because it is still an awesome console. :)

Funniest. Post. Ever.

Will someone explain to me why we need to explain to someone "what is so good about the gamecube"? If you don\'t see a reason to buy it - i.e, "it doesn\'t play DVD movies" , then don\'t buy one. We don\'t need to list one hundred reasons for you to buy one. Just like, we don\'t need to list a hundred reasons not to buy one...
I am personally very excited about the Gamecube, with strong Nintendo franchises, sign me up, infact, I am goin\' later today (my only day off for another week) to pay in full on my GC and Luigi\'s Mansion.
As for the "press conference" , like Eik said, I\'m sure it will be full of unbiased information..

im so sorry to hear that....
im sure youll have so much fun blasting ghosts over and over again in that cheap ass blocky mansion that looks like an n64 in high rez....oh did i forget to mention how much youre going to love the music in that game?...im telling you, nintendo must have some of the best composers in the gaming industry...

it sure as hell was...but since you hate me already, you just targeted any negativity i had to say about the gamecube and turned it around by saying im biased...
whatever kid...

Accually, The Mario Bros. Theme is one of the most popular songs in the world. Also theres the Zelda theme too. Also thats just one game, Rogue Leaders 5.1 Dolby Pro Logic II is supposed to be great. Your post betrays you. Did you ever think outside of your "Lets all bash the GC" world? Maybe it would be fun to suck up ghosts. And if you have seen any other game thats horror like in a Mansion such as Resident Evil, I suppose that would be really blocky to.

Well, you are acting pretty baised if you haven\'t seen you are acting that way yet, This entire post was negative, you bashed the GameCube and Living Chip. Maybe if you just would put some facts into your posts than you wouldn\'t seem so 1 sided.

WTF? 5.1 surround and ProLogic are two different surround formats. ProLogic only uses a mono signal for the rear speakers, therefore there are \'only\' 4 channels. If Dolby ProLogic II is something new in the US, please clear me up on this one, as we don\'t use this format in europe. thanks.
-
Glad you asked Seven, Dolby Prologic 2 is relatively very brand new. What it does is eliminate all latency between the game and the speakers. It is mainly made for fast action shootings for the new consoles. While not as good as Dolby Digital, DD is supposed to have latency problems. And I\'m about 80% sure DPII is 5.1
-
sounds good, thanks for the info! :)
-
AC3 = dd 5.1
i hardly doubt they\'de give it a 3rd name
pro logic = poop [that which i fling]
