Game Cube = Brain Washing!

Now I\'m not trying to bash the Gamecube [I happen to own one] but I would like to see Nintendo correct this... Lack of games was the same problem that the N64 had... They should have solved that by now...

NO MORE GOOD GAMES???  ARE YOU INSANE???????



You forgot Super Monkey Ball

You would of paid less for it at launch than any other console. You will pay less for it still compared to the other consoles . That is one of the advantages of having a system that doesn\'t have a lot of unnessecary options.

On a side note: I think Panasonic should consider releasing \'The Q\' in other countries, besides Japan.

Now, now! Doesnt this statment seem a little contradictary?

What you have basically said here is:

"Hey im glad they dont have unnecessary things like a DVD player in the game cube, ...but i wish they brought out a game cube with a DVD player in it!" ..LOL!!!!

And speaking of good games, where\'s all the great fighting games?  I know Tekken Tag (one of the greatest/most playable games ever invented) was released with ps2 .... where\'s nintendos answer????  is it Luigi\'s Mansion??....LOL!!! Come on, its a little kids game...,. OH gezz wow lets run around a house with a vacume cleaner!! yay!! so much fun!! (please acknowldge the scarasm all nintendo lamers).

They will sell fewer of their games than Sony will, no matter how much piracy is out there

So whats the point of creating a disk that deters software pirates? ...its not to pass one the savings to us right! (as you say!) It\'s to help poor nintendo play catch up to systems that ARNT lacking...give me a break!!

Perhaps they are only providing for means to develope more and more impressive games in the future. The profits that you think are there would only go back into future games, and thus get back to the consumer anyway.

Well thats fine if these future games you talk about are going to be purchased, but the fact is:  Not everyone is interested in purchasing all the games!  It would make better sence to make a direct saving rather than a POSSIBLE indirect saving.

Now I\'m not trying to bash the Gamecube [I happen to own one] but I would like to see Nintendo correct this... Lack of games was the same problem that the N64 had... They should have solved that by now...

Excellent point!

The bottom line is nintendo is getting you fan boys to THINK it\'s working in the best interest of you. FACT: its not, its to make profits while saying somthing like "Our features save you money!" WHICH THEY DONT ..and...  "Our games will be better in the future..."  
Sorry i just dont buy it (pun intended). Im living for today, i want to play games TODAY, i want savings TODAY, I want features like DVD ..TODAY. Not some lame "future savings" BullSheeeet.  Please..please.. wake up to reality guys (and do your self a favour and get a system thats good TODAY!)

ok coke, i gather that their r no games, no features,or anything else that u like about the game cube and theirs no way in hell that you\'d ever buy one right.

if so then answer me this "Why are you B****ing about the GC?"

oh and BTW coke im expecting an answer for the above question

"Why are you B****ing about the GC?"

Well maybe if you wrote the question without the stars i could could answer!

And for the record the only thing i have seen nintendo produce that is half fun, is smash brothers.  So no im not  a misson to deface nintendo. I just want some D@MN answers!

BTW i expect an answer...

coke the question was why are u b*tching about the GC?(now if u cant fill in that asterik yer legally stupid )
u say u want answers to yer questions, well i\'m sorry to break it to ya but it seems that yer questions have been answered nearlly 10-15 post\'s back(or somewhere in between).

The fact that you can\'t connect the dots for yourself on some of these points amazes me Coke.  If you don\'t like GC, don\'t buy one.  You don\'t have to "save us fanboys" from this horrible fate though :rolleyes:

Where are the fighting games?  Who cares is what I\'d like to know.  So they haven\'t focused on fighting games.  That\'s just one of many genres of games.  If you want fighting games so bad, buy a PS2.  GC is aimed at a different audience.

"Hey im glad they dont have unnecessary things like a DVD player in the game cube, ...but i wish they brought out a game cube with a DVD player in it!" ..LOL!!!!

Actually, no it isn\'t. First off, I just think Panasonic should bring it over to see the difference in sales ratio\'s. Would people prefer the version without DVD playback or with it - and spend the extra cash? Another reason I think that, is for I wouldn\'t have to import one for my collection. I don\'t personally need another DVD player (I have three), but I do need \'The Q\' for my collection.

I ain\'t gonna comment on most of the posts here, since really it\'s a waste of time. So many others have said what I want to say, and he still dosen\'t get the point. Anyhow, I do agree with Coke just a bit.. but probably not in the way he means. Nintnedo has always been a bit.. not quite underhanded.. but not quite honest either with a great deal many of their press releases. For example the time when they said their console had outsold the PSX by 40 million units. Many readers took that to mean the N64 far outsold the PSX... when it reality Nintnedo was refering to their GameBoy handheld system. At first this was an annoyance, and dimmed my view of Nintnedo. Anymore.. it\'s like a staple of how they do buisness. It\'s their style.. just like it was Sega\'s style to poke fun at Nintnedo and it\'s fans through advertisments. Sega\'s low blows at Nintnedo and their fanbase angered quite a few people through the years.. but now that they\'re gone it\'s one of their qualitys which is severly missed in the industry. I hope they do decide to continue their taunts against other competetors in the 3rd party arena like EA or Square.

There are quite a few reasons not to like Nintnedo as a company, and I don\'t blame anyone who does because quite honestly I feel the same way. However, as a game maker they are one of the best out there.. and not many can refute that point. It\'s not brainwashing Coke.. since most people buying the NGC know exactly what they\'re getting. They know of the lack of "extra" features.. they know of the higher price of games. But ya know what? That dosen\'t matter. They are buying it for the games.. which is the whole reason why you buy a game console in the first place. Expecially a game console made by Nintnedo.

This "brainwashing" can also be said for every single console in this generation.. with perhaps the exception of the Dreamcast which has made no promises they couldn\'t keep. Except that they would make it to the end of the generation.. which I doubt they realized they would have taken the path they did when they launched the DC. Microsoft claims the Xbox is "online" when to the vast majority of gamers out there.. it isn\'t. Sony claimed "Toy Story" quality graphics.. when in fact it hasn\'t delivered.. and barring a unparalled miracle of programing magic it will never deliver.

It\'s called PR and Spindoctoring. If you\'re going to harsh on one company for doing it, you\'d best be prepared to judge the competition by the same standards as well. From where I stand, none of the companies this generation can say that they\'re being completely honest about their console\'s preformace. They are all guilty of misleading the consumer and "brainwashing".

So lay off Nintnendo. If you have a personal criqute about them.. that\'s fine. Don\'t demonize them unless you have hard facts and circumstances that actually make them worse offenders than the competition.

Well, I too am not too thrilled with the gamecube.

Even if all these games lived up to their promises, they wouldn\'t match up well against what xbox and PS2 are offering in the future--especially to a mature gamer.

Eternal Darkness isn\'t the system saviour everyone thought it was going to be.  RE is terrible.  STRS2 was dissappointing (how many times can you blow up a death star and still get thrills?).  Luigi\'s is horrible, if a little charming.  Bomberman is pretty old.

The remaining games are good or show promise.  But at the end of the day you\'re left with cutesy graphics or polished remakes/sequels of long ago classics (all systems are getting their share of these).

If Metroid turns out to be just another FPS there is no reason for me to ever get one.  That is my last hope.  Every other game on that list has an equivalent on the PS2 or xbox; the difference is the presentation and target audience.  The other difference is that the "other" consoles have games coming that have NO equal or equivalent on the GC.

You can cry Nintendo! Nintendo! all you want, but they seem a shadow of their former glory.

Btw, you forgot Zelda.

THE GAWD DAMN THING HAS ONLY BEEN OUT FOR 10 MONTHS!

PlagueBearer: Thanks for the food, now go away.

Blah, this stuff tastes like chit.. no tip for you!

I wish SONY leave the DVD crap out of the PS2..it\'s a low quality DVD player and frequently playing DVD on your fragile PS2 will shorten it\'s already pathetic hardware lifespan.

Nintendo has another version of the GC which can play DVD, so it\'s no big deal. If SONY have leave the DVD thing out of the console, I would have save some money since I already own a DVD player that does the job 10 times better.

Nintendo trying to brainwash....yeah rite. Like SONY and MS hasn\'t already gotten to u.... LOL

/me kisses his PS2 which is in perfect working order that i use to play DVD\'s and all sorts of games frequently

Awwww, Paul you poor bubby  I feel so sowwy for yoooouuuu!  Does mommy not wubs your fuzzy bunny tummy no more?  come here *pinches your cheeks* your so coot when you compwain wike this  

LOL .

You can be upset that there are no extras included with the Gamecube, but really now, since when did console GAMING become the ridicule of those looking to watch movies?  I\'m sorry, but when I buy these things, the DVD feature is merely an extra, it\'s the game that make it worth the purchase in the first place.  I didn\'t buy the Playstation 2 because I needed a DVD player, I bought it because I wanted Metal Gear Solid 2, I wanted Grand Theft Auto 3, I wanted Final Fantasy X... the list goes on and on.  Do you even realize how idiotic you sound for complaining that a console, meant for gaming, is being sold solely as a gaming machine?  Does anyone else think this guy is the second generation of Clowd?  Heck, Clowd agrees with him.

The fact of the matter is this; there are all types of people out there looking for the best deals.  I know when I went computer shopping, I shopped till I dropped, then finally plunked down the cash for it.  With consoles, it\'s very simple.  There are currently only three choices and in the end, it comes down to price and features.  Tell me what you think about the XBox and its need for a DVD remote.  The feature is there, but the device will cost you an extra 20 bucks in addition to the XBox itself.  Are you really willing to spend an extra 50 dollars for a PS2 DVD player that has been scoffed at by every audio and videophile in existance as being a sub-par player worthy of only the cheapest bastards on the planet?

Come to think of it, if you were really that interested in DVD to begin with, you would have done all this research on your own and realized how fool hardy your arguements are, but instead, you bash Nintendo for being and advertising what it is.  When I go to Electronics Boutique, I\'m not asking for Pearly Harbor Vista Series Director\'s Cut for Playstation 2 DVD, but I\'m asking for Metal Gear Solid 2 instead.  Make of that what you may, but arguing for "more bang for your buck" is moronic when your "buck" only pays for the lowest end DVD player on the market has to offer.  Hey, you get what you pay for though.

***Edit:  Speaking of extras, where are those 4-controller ports on the PS2?
