Title: Gamecube launch=Pathetic
Post by: CS2x on October 09, 2001, 12:16:07 PM

Well, I hoped Nintendo wouldn\'t screw this up again, but no...they DID screw it up. 300,000 units shifted? Only 3 games? But, that isn\'t even the worst part...those three games aren\'t even very good! Apparently, Luigi\'s Mansion has pretty graphics(though not mind-blowing) and repetetive gamplay, and is also very short. Waverace is like the N64 version, but-as Edge put it-"More polished, with better graphics and a few extras" MonkeyBall is fun, but I have no intrest in low-key puzzle-games. Anyway, I\'ve heard it\'s comming to PS2.

This is a big dissappointment to me....I mean, it\'s even worse than the N64 launch, because at least they had Mario64, which just blew me away.....

Also, there\'s all that busness about that new Zelda game....I HATE that new look! It is seriously sad....If I want a good laugh with some fellow gamers, I simply show some pictures of the new Zelda game...and we all crack up!

He does make a few points!

Nintendo was just unlucy with their poor timing and bad advertisng in japan (I have seen more xbox ads than nintendo in japan). The games don\'t seem that great, just good but not mind blowing (the same what happened to ps2) . For me the US launch is not very interesting either, except for RL ofcourse :).

But give it some time, like people did with ps2 :) it\'ll sue get better

Our Toys R Us sucks, they don\'t have the GC TVs hooked up. Only the Xbox junk. I must say, I extremely overestimated the XBox, I looked at the framrate on those games and I nearly burst out in launghter. It looked like Rouge Squadron on the N64.
