I will buy neither, as I am going to buy GBA. It\'s a handheld-console, and I\'m quite amazed it wasn\'t on the list. Well, maybe it doesn\'t belong to the category Xbox and GC does if we think about it.

But GBA for the reasons Jumpman already stated. Because I\'m a fanatic of the good old snes; I was a serious fan, and I love nostalgia. Playing old snes-games on emulator just doesn\'t feel right.

And the GBA versions are either completely new, or advanced versions of their old snes-fathers...

But even the GBA will become a question of money, and X-box and GC are out of question just for the lack of the pricy goodie...

GameCube is my choice obviously. Too Human, Metroid, After Dark, Mario, Zelda, Eternal Darkness, Dinosaur Planet, Thornado, Super Smash Bros2, Rogue Squadron 2, and 1080 2 are all games that I masterbate off of. when I think about them.

Did anyone ever think that Nintendo\'s big secret would  be another Mario Kart game? That just popped into my mind and it seemed pretty reasonable and expectable to me...


Call me a hardcore 2D fan who likes the past.;) I still believe 2D games almost always surpass their 3D counterparts.

And if its another Mario Kart, I hope its better then Mario Kart 64. I played the first Mario Kart to death, rushed to buy Mario Kart 64 and thought it sucked, so I gave it away.:( I want a true Mario Kart, damnit!

I don\'t like the first one for nintendo 64 because you can\'t pick your own lvl where you can race against computer, olny for 2 or 3 or 4 player....That is a bullsh!t!!

Mario Kart 64 kicked!!! We used to have some great multiplayer sessions with that. I couldn\'t even go back to the original after having played the new one(believe me, I tried).

I am looking forward to both(funny that wasn\'t an option). I want the Gamecube because I know it is going to have some of my favorite games. I want the Xbox but not as badly as I want a Gamecube and wanted a PS2. If the Xbox is anything over $300 I will have to scratch it off the list.

Personally I am looking forward to the Indreama.. just cause it looks sweet and is really an awsome concept.  Between Xbox and Gamecube... I\'d definetly buy an Xbox before the Gamecube.  Nintendo did not make me happy at all with the N64.  Granted it was great as far as having people over to play Mario Kart, GoldenEye etc.. but... i can only take so much.  Also the controlers sucked.. i\'ve been through soo many controllers.  So of course you can see I played it a lot... but if I went back in time I wouldnt of bought one.   My little brothers like it alot though... which tells you something.

I don\'t think this is the same Animal Mother. Something is.......different. Identify yourself imposter so that we may ostracize you like the fiend and scoundrel that you are.

I\'m just messing with you; because I could have sworn that you were a die-hard Sony fan.

Mostely for the underground/ametuer developed games that the mainstream would never produce. If Sony\'s Net Yorouze (sp?) had been cheaper, i\'d have got that too...

Net Yaroze was a great idea but it really didn`t take off as much as it should of. I read somewhere that Sony only produced something like 10,000 units. Couple that low number with a $300? price tag, it really never became as popular as it could have been. But it was BLACK and looked very cool so I guess that what matters most ;)
