they cost about same but the question is which one to get? i like mario and zelda looks ok but that is about all i like on game cube but PS One has final fantasy seven and other good games that i can play any where even in a car so which one is better to buy now?
p.s. it is a shame that i am considering buying a 7 year old system over a new one shame on you nintendo
-
Definently GC, you can still play on your PSONE games on the PS2. But you\'ll get so many new games opened up to you.

You shouldn\'t be. Gamecube, no question about it. You shouldn\'t even have to think twice about that one.
-
Chances are you\'ll want to play new GC games rather than aging PSX titles. I think you\'ll be much happier in the end with another system rather than rebuying a portable version of what you already have. Atleast I would.

If Mario and Zelda are the only draws to GameCube that you can see, you\'re nearly blind. ;)
Honestly.. if you have a PS2, get the GameCube now. It has plenty of gaming goodness even now..
Nevermind later this year!

nothing i cant find on play station two (i dont care for that luigi mansion or pikmin they need to make a real mario game not luigis mansion)
-
Pikmin, a tech demo? I\'ll give you Luigi\'s Mansion on that, MM.. but Pikmin is a very good game. Silly.
Great games: Pikmin, Super Monkey Ball, Resident Evil, Wave Race
Good games: Sega Soccer Slam, Super Smash Bros Melee, Luigi\'s Mansion, Rogue Leader
Solid ports: All-Star Baseball 2003, NBA Street, Sonic Adventure 2 (love it or hate it) Agent Under Fire, etc..

looks like n64 all over again (game way wise).... :( .... at least make mario 64 $20!!! the game has been out forever!

Buy a GC! Why the Hell would you buy a PS1! The games are so old. It was a great system, but I find it hard to play PS1 games now that I have a PS2, however there are some PS1 games I still play to this day. I own a PS2, GC, XBOX, and Dreamcast. Forget about the PS1, it\'s old and it\'s about to die, get a GC. I love it! But the PS2 is my current favorite followed by the GC and XBox. Sure there\'s some great PS1 games, but it\'s not enough to consider buying one. Ancient technology!! My PS1 that I bought at launch still works perfectly!

Thats a bit silly when you consider that the PS2 is backwards compatable and can play the PSX games..if not better.
ok so the Console might be fased out over the next 2 years or so.but something tell me we will still see the odd PSX game still being developed and released because its cheap to do so and the USER base out there is HUGE.
PSX and PS2 onwers combined.
-
:rolleyes:
Am I the only one who see\'s that this thread was started just to bash the NGC? He says there is no reason really to buy a GC, yet he is asking about buying one? Geeze.
As for the comment about how it looks like the N64 again. What kind of idiotic statement was that? Did the N64 have a new Metriod? RE exclusive? Etc? No. Does the NGC use catridges - one of the main reasons for the expensive prices for N64 games and lack of third party support? NO, it does not.
As for the "I don\'t care about pikimin" comment..You sound a lot like MM, until he broke down and played it and found out that it indeed is one of the better games out this year.
Think before you post.
;)

So far I think everyone has told you to get a Cube, Clowd. And every time you went "yea, but" and "no, because..."
It\'s obvious you don\'t want one so buy a PS1, enjoy your LCD gimmick, and try not to think about all the great, new games you\'re missing out on.
Oh, and when it comes out, don\'t read anything about Eternal Darkness. You\'d probably start crying. :)
-Eik

*high fives Eiksirf*
Break down! Go on.. give it to me.. break down! Let that \'Cube take you through th\' night!
Break down! Go on.. give it to me.. break down! It\'s alright.. it\'s alright! It\'s alright..
[lol - wtf? -Eik]

game cube brang this bashing upon itself for having like 3 games available at launch and more coming out at a snails pace
ummm it has two exclusive games metroid which i guess is ok (never played it but people say it is good) and re which has been sequeled to death
pikimin one of the better tech demos this year.. .. . .
actually in the begginning i was leaning on the game cube 70-30 but that 30 left doubts in my mind... just wanted to get more opinions

Do you realize you know NOTHING about this industry? You\'ve demostrated this a couple times.
1) Calling Sega games "PC ports" in another thread.
2) Saying Nintendo only has "two exclusive games". I am thinking you don\'t even realize what first party games are or exlcusive 3rd party games. Let me explain. Will you see Pikimin, Super Smash Bro\'s: Melee, Zelda, Mario, Metriod , Resident Evil, StarFox:Adventures, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Eternal Darkness, Mario Kart , StarWars:RougeLeader 2 and the list goes on. Does that even look like "two exclusive games"? No, it doesn\'t.
3) There is more than three games out right now. I don\'t need to list them, but I do need to once again say that Pikimin was not just a "tech demo". The game gained critic success and almost anyone who has played it, will admit that it is extremely deep, addictive and fun.
4) If you\'ve never played one of the Metriod games and you thought those Sega games was "pc ports" (sorry, can\'t get over that..) this lets me establish one thing. You started gaming durin\' the 32bit era with the PSone.
-
LiC: Geez, don\'t waste your breath. This guy is obviously kidding around.
Who could forget about Zelda or Mario? They\'re both so controversial..

ok about 5 mario games metroid and ok these are esxclusive but the are basically nintendo sixty-four remakes
i will stop comments on pikimin
i have never played anything sega that is why i didnt reconognize the games (i dont fool around with consoles with life spans the length of a fly)
i started gaming witht he PSOne? this is a insult. i have been gaming since 1990 witht the 8 bit nintendo, moved up to the 16 bit nintendo and then the playstation one in 1996.
i played around 50-100 games (mostly rentals during each nintendo era but never ran across \'metroid\' gueses im no fortunate

...wow...
Nintendo, for your information, probably has the most varried and recognizable 1st party games of any console. Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid, Donkey Kong, etc. The list goes on and on. Then you have to add anything that Rare makes, which at this time is Nintendo exclusive. Then add games like Rouge Leader, Resident Evil, etc.
Metroid was one of the most popular Nintendo games during the NES/SNES days. If you hadn\'t heard of it, then people have every right to question your video game knowledge. I know I would.
As for 64 remakes, Nintendo has it\'s franchise series. But how can you call things like Zelda, Star Fox, and so on, 64 remakes? These are games that Nintendo has worked on for multiple consoles. They are also games that have not been released yet. To dismiss them as "64 remakes" is insulting to the games, and the company. And it makes you look like a moron :p
And if you\'ve never played any Sega consoles, you have missed a hell of a lot. Genesis was one of the very best systems ever created. I still play mine to this day as much as any other system. And by the way, Genesis lasted as one of the top consoles in the industry as long as any other I can remember.
So, yeah, I agree with LIC
-
one sega console? didnt they make 3?
mario cart 64..mario cart game cube....zelda 64....zelda gamecube... these games are on multiple consoles? just dont say anything about playstation sequels
so i missed out on one game...and?
nintendo made donkey kong? i didnt know that
after saying add games like resident evil rogue spear then you say "etc" actually the list stops there
-
sega made 4 consoles
master system
genesis
saturn
dreamcast
i have been gaming since 1990 witht the 8 bit nintendo, moved up to the 16 bit nintendo and then the playstation one in 1996.
well whoop-de-do! i remember the intellivision coming out in 1977 and than the atari 2600 a year later
does this make me cooler than anyone else?
sega has made a few of the finest consoles ever produced, they are just the pacemakers. that was thier flaw. they take the 1st step, and allow everyone else to pass them on the final lap.
if you dont know metriod, you aint crap
but then again, you didnt know nintendo created donkey kong
in case you happen to doubt anything i say, just look at this

mm, don\'t forget the Genesis addons..
SegaCD and Sega32X (Both of which I bought... it was the beginning of the end of my faith in Sega... well, for one generation... untill I tried the dreamcast).
To be fair, though, I still have my Master System and Genesis hooked up. I still play them. I unhooked most of my Nintendo systems, cause I can emulate them, but there\'s just something about the sega games that demands a TV gaming experience. Also still have my ol\' TurboGraphix 16 hooked up :).

yeah, i was playing my TG-16 the other day
always held a place in my heart for splatterhouse and keith courage

i am not saying im better then my peers here i was just defending myself against that remarke that said i began playing games with the PSOne.
metroid? castlevania? never played them. so i aint cool?
nintendo made donkey kong ok. who makes it now? rare. is rare going multy console? yes
any way i made up my mind im not getting a PSOne or Game Cube.
-
You said in the same sentence you\'ve been gaming since the 90\'s, but you also said you was a gamer during the NES 8-bit era, which was released in \'85.. Now which is it? You can\'t have both.
You also said you played 50-100 games (rather vague,eh?) but you never played a CastleVania, one of the more popular franchises out there? How did you manage that? You also said Sega systems have the life span of a fly, but you forgot to notice that the Genesis at one point was outselling the SNES and did indeed have a long healthy lifespan. Also, for the record, the Saturn had a long lifespan also considering it continued to have Japanese support with Capcom and other developers late in the life of the system.
You also continue to admit you didn\'t even know who made Donkey Kong, yet you chime in with your dumb comment "rare is going multy part". Now, for the record I don\'t know what "multy" is, I can only assume you mean "multi", never the less you should not qoute RUMORS as facts. Rare is still a strong 2nd party supporter for Nintendo and until E3 comes around and Rare announces offical games for other console platforms, it is just that. A rumor. So, if you know nothing about the industry, I don\'t think you need to start chiming in with any witty commentary / comments, as they are natrually going to either 1) be moronic or 2) null and void.
As for your constant complaining about Nintendo doing "sequels". I guess you never play EA games or any other developer\'s games, as almost all games either are sequels or have sequels. Even the crappy games, like "The Olsen Twin" games.

Fair enough... we understand that point. What do you say about,
Legend of Zelda 1 and 2 on NES,
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past on SNES,
Legend of Zelda: Link\'s Awakening on Gameboy,
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Sages and Whatever of Something Else for Gameboy Color,
Legend of Zelda: Orcarina of Time and Majora\'s Mask for N64,
Legend of Zelda for Gamecube,
And hell, there was even one for like 3DO, wasn\'t there?
But then again, how is that multiple consoles?
...
Christ I don\'t even know what the point of that was other than to help correct some of your ignorance.

close, Eik
it was the phillips cd-I that had two zelda games
believe it or not, there was actually a PC zelda game
:eek:
-
you know zelda is a girl?
i didnt say i was gaming in the 90s i begain in \'1990\' or somewhere around that time its been a while but it was when mario 1 for 8 bit first came out
ok so final fantasy goes from play station one to play station two. not really multi console in my opinion unless the same game gets made on a different system made by a different company
(yeah i know final fantasy started with nintendo just trying to make a point)
-
i guess the image of zelda being a girl in every zelda titles wasnt enough to see that
lol
now saying "did u know samus was a girl"
THAT might show some knowledge and get you some credibility

Well Mario debuted in SMB1 in 1985, so you\'ve been gaming since then or a year or so later.
But Final Fantasy has been on the NES that you started with, the SNES that you graduated to, the PS1 that you went to, the PS2 that I assume you own, the PC that you\'re typing on, it\'s coming to Gamecube and Gameboy Advance, and I wouldn\'t be so shocked if FFXI hit Xbox, but I think that rumor died...
I mean really, you didn\'t think they just started the series at number seven, did you?
Basically, rather than being wrong so much, just stick to saying things you know are true. ;]

.... i will say it again i know final fantasy started on nintendo systems i was just trying to use it as an example but bad example.
ill use zelda as the example. it just moves up mostly nintendo consoles. i dont call that multi console. it may have come out on 3do or pc but that doesnt even count since it doesnt do that any more though
-

That\'s true, it started on the NES.. but it was made by Square. A not-necessarily-exclusive 3rd-party.

The main Zelda series (developed by Nintendo\'s internal teams in Japan; the games that people want) has never been sold on anything but Nintendo platforms. Nintendo and Philips tried a joint development on the Philips CD-i; Nintendo licensed the Mario and Zelda characters to Philip\'s studios (not Nintendo\'s EAD in Japan) for use. They dropped the ball and made several horrible Zelda games that weren\'t even Action/RPGs like the primary Zelda titles. These are often forgotten. Since then, Nintendo has only licensed characters out to talented/trusted developers.

pikmin and luigi\'s manson are like glorified tech demos
I can\'t believe your just throwing pikmin in the same pile of trash as luigi\'s mansion.

Clowd, just admit you never were thinking about getting a GC.
Who, in their right mind, would get a PSONE over a GC? If anything, he/she should get a PS2 (backwards compatibility).

I know, but still...
If you would just give Gamecube a chance, you would find that there is much more than just Mario and Zelda. At least you are not going crazy over the whole "kiddy" thing (some idiots won\'t even give Zelda or Mario a chance).
How can you say that the GC is nearly the same as N64.
1. Many 3rd party developers are showing interest in the GC...Capcom, Square (albeit reluctantly), etc.
2. Nintendo is supposedly reducing their development/royalty fees in order to attract even more 3rd party support.
3. The GC is getting exclusive "mature" games...Eternal Darkness, RE series, etc.
BTW, you might want to ask somebody that knows a lot about Nintendo to help fill in all the "et ceteras" I had.

mario is one of the main reasons i thought about getting a game cube btw the new mario game is called mario sunshine or is that the code name something like that but you can wear 3d glasses while playing it to enhance the experience or something like that
the main problem holding me back from getting the cub is all these good play station two games comin out ($50!)
but latley they have been slowing down so ok i changed my mind again. if i find $200 layin around ill get the cube but just for mario...and maybe zelda if it is all its hyped up to be .... .. dont really care about all those "M" games

The official name of the new mario game is Super Mario Sunshine (that is from Nintendo themselves). I highly doubt there will be anything to do with 3-D glasses, but I could be mistaken.

$150 GC Mario Sunshine > $200 x box project ego(or any other game it can offer.)
Nintendo Im coming back.
Mario is the greatest ever, next to ff.
Zelda has nothing on Mario.
Metroid has nothing on Mario.
Halo has nothing on Mario.
