Got a Gamecube!

I hear Wavebird\'s battery life is superior, I\'d definitely suggest you get that.

If you liked Zelda, you might as well give Star Fox Adventures a try. That game will really display the power and the features of the Gamecube. I can safely say SFA is a franchise title, along with Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid, and Zelda.

Also, pick yourself up a memory card in the near future. You might be needing it...
You think positive, I\'ll think realistic.

Jm: Long time no see, man! :)

SFA is alright.. not my top pick on GCN. It\'s really a sad game when compared to Wind Waker, but there are a few entertaining moments.. and the production values, graphics, and sound are great. The gameplay is really the only downside; repetitive, formulaic.. the fighting sucks.. too much item collecting.. basically everything that Rare does wrong packed into one game. Even so, the general gameplay is par and the game is definitely worth a rental.. even though you won\'t want to finish the game in 3-7 days.

Me, I got it on September 23rd and still haven\'t beaten it. :)

BTW, Pikmin.. very good choice. It\'s still one of my favorite GCN titles.. and is up there with Super Monkey Ball as my favorite 2001 GCN title. Brilliant game, although it\'s only an introduction to what will probably be a bigger and better franchise. Pikmin 2 looks like it\'ll successfully continue the series later this year. :)

Bought a memory card and now all I need is a Wavebird and I\'m sorted!!
A word of advice:

In the working world there is only two ships that sink: 1.) a Battle ship, and 2.) Partnership

No they haven\'t talked about that.  But the next promotion is awesome.  Gamecube bundled with Gameboy Player for the current price.  I don\'t think you get a free game with that, too, but who knows.

The GBP lets you play all those GBA (and older) titles on the brightly lit, big screen.  Color better than an SP or Afterburner, but not portable, and stretched graphics tend to come out imperfect, jagged or whatever.

But still awesome.  It snaps on the bottom of the Cube.

Wavebirds are neat, but ultimately useless in my opinion.  But I\'m close enough to the tv.  It\'s nice for multiplayer if you don\'t want to sit by your friends, which is definitely something worth looking at, heh.

I liked Star Fox enough to beat it, but I agree it was repetitive, and only found one puzzle to be really inspired.

Metroid Prime, on the other hand, I couldn\'t get into.  I got reasonably far but quickly got tired of the exploration.  It\'s tough to keep me captivated when I\'m wandering through the same rooms over and over with fewer and fewer ideas of where to go.

I always like to nominate Eternal Darkness as a game to buy.  Silicon Knights put a lot of effort into that one, and I played it three times over for only a minimal upgrade in the ending.  But it has a cohesive story that is compelling the first time, and in the end tells you how and why you played the game three times.  I liked it, plus it\'s original and darker than your normal Nintendo offering.  Next original one looks to be Geist (excluding Twin Snakes)...
