Title: I feel bad for those who rely only on the GC for their gaming fix.
Post by: datamage on March 19, 2002, 12:49:03 PM: So the game that I originally wanted a GC @ launch for has been delayed yet again. Starfox Adventure of course.

I\'m sure in the end it will be worthwhile, but isn\'t Nintendo letting down their fans a bit too much lately? We know Metroid, Zelda, and Mario will not be released this year. Going by Nintendo\'s tradition they just won\'t release three of their big franchises in one time frame.

I\'m sure glad I got my PS2 and Xbox, cause the gamecube sure is dry as of late.

(and yes, I\'m aware that SFA is a game from RARE and not Nintendo.)

Oh yeah -

Post by: datamage on March 19, 2002, 01:03:39 PM: LOL! Gotta love PA.

I had a GBA, and the darkness got to me. =/ So I wound up selling it. With all the recent announcements, I might have to swallow it, and buy another one. I\'ll just wait for that new platinum one, looks nice.

(I\'ll have to get another GBA just for the new Castlevania, damn Konami.)

Post by: Dajona on March 19, 2002, 04:30:46 PM: You seem so confident about Mari, Zelda, and Metoid not making 2002. Atleast one will make it, that\'s for sure.

It\'s a shame we have to wait so long but hopefully Q3 and Q4 will be better. Things are looking up already.

I am confident that all 3 won\'t make it, I\'m sure 1 will. Should anyway.

Post by: Watchdog on March 19, 2002, 07:42:56 PM: Even that doesn\'t interest me; I\'ve already played it. I\'ll wait until next year when N\'s real games come out.

You have, how is it? (rhetorical, if you knew better you\'d know it\'s been majorly redone -- in all aspects)

But yea, delays suck. I\'m not really hot on SFA yet, but it sucks not having anything really new to buy. I\'m not too crazy about Sonic even though the GBA link up is tempting. (Which reminds me I should get Sonic for GBA...)

I\'m cool though, still have like half the characters to max out in SSX Tricky.

According to IGNcube, it\'s still on track for the 30th of April. So who knows.

And copying member pstwo\'s fashion, I\'ll post a picture in the middle of the thread. :D

WTF is that thing?! I don\'t recall that in RE.

Uhh, care to give us some details on it?
what did you not like about it, what changes did they make, what is the new interface like, how do the backgrounds look in game moving?

or.. are you just pulling crap outta your butt again..
OR is it beacuse its not on the xbox, and it must suck?

Sorry, but you must accept the fact the NGC will have japaneese support while the Xbox won\'t.. (except sega, but since when have they made good buisness descisions?)

And did you notice I poke fun at nintendo also, but still like them?

You should relax man, Watchdog wasn\'t stating anything offensive and you were quick to jump on him. I don\'t think he\'d care if this new and improved Resident Evil was headed to Xbox either.

I can understand your feeling,
however this kid jumps on me every time also. He complains more about me then actually posting.

The dude played RE for like 5 mins and said it sucks.. (does not intrest him)
otherwise he could give us some indepth information
