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.

Luigi is horrible? Thats okay, its opinion. As for Bomberman being old, you should know that Bomberman still ranks as one of the single best multiplayer experiences in any game and you should also know that Bomberman Generation\'s is a completely new take on the character. Bomberman, the character may be gettin\' old, but so is every other company mascot / franchise. Point?

As for the comment about none of the games matching what the PS2 and Xbox has in the future. I\'ll give you the PS2 one, but you\'re stretching it with the Xbox. MS is in a slump and beyond a couple games they don\'t appear to have anything and it will probably stay like that.  My XBox hasn\'t been touched since GunValkire and the so dissapointing Jet Set Radio Future.

Oh yeah,  and Ryu  = brilliant. Nice comment on four controller ports, I can\'t believe I didn\'t think of that!

People arguing about Nintnedo making us think certain ways are pretty groundless.

Everyone knows they\'re trying to make money, same as everyone else.

That\'s why they went mini-disc.  They still charge license fees, they slow pirating in places like Hong Kong where it costs them tons of money, but they can still sell at a competitive price to appeal to the consumer.  Cartridge games were more expensive to the user.

That\'s why they chose mini-disc.  If you were\'nt paying attention, it\'s because of money.

No one ever said "Nintendo is trying to lose money to keep us happy!  They rock!"

And people complaining about a lack of games are groundless, too.  I already have 14 games including SSX Tricky, Pikmin, Star Wars, Wave Race, Eternal Darkness, Monkey Ball, Smash Bros, Bomberman, Madden 2K2, Resident Evil, and Burnout.  All this and there\'s a few that I\'ve passed on despite wanting like Sonic Adventure 2, NBA Street, Sega Soccer Slam, Wrestlemania X8, and Tony Hawk.  And then there\'s the near future which holds Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Zelda, Dave Mirra XXX, Resident Evil 0, Super Monkey Ball 2, Phantasy Star Online, and Star Fox Adventures.  Then of course we have games like 1080 Whitestorm, Mario Kart, Too Human, Perfect Dark, F-Zero, Starfox Space Shooter, Cameo: Elements of Power, and Wario World to look forward to.

But what do I know, I\'m brainwashed.

-Eik

It Is a joke i say the cube sux ........spoiler...................spoiler..............spoiler..............games are $49.00 american dollars for a game system that still sells for $40.00 american dollars less than Xbox and PS2 and does gaming ...if i want just a gaming device i would by a pong , atari,  sega , dreamcast, nintendo,super nintendo or nintindo 64 at a swap meet before i would spend my $150.00 dollars on a cube. and the games $49.00 when i could buy something else that does more..i like the cadilac,lincoln,limousine\'s too is all i got to say . money is just a thing i got 2 ps2 i bought $349.00 a piece that is almost $800.00 dallars not counting the games i have bought dvd\'s cd\'s and yes i also on another stereo and a dvd player too i like all the bells and whistles not counting my projection TV lol buy the cube if it suites youre taste in gaming ..everyone has an opinion on what they like this is mine and it wont change

Ugh.  No one is asking you to change your opinion.  You have the right to have an opinion first of all, and you have the right to buy whatever you want to buy.  I just want to make sure you are not avoiding the Cube for the wrong reasons.  

It honestly sounds to me like people are buying the PS2 solely because it plays games and plays DVDs.  If that\'s the case, then I wonder if this is your first gaming console.  I wonder if you\'ve ever played a Dreamcast.  I wonder if you\'ve ever played the Saturn, or the Super Nintendo, or... well, the list goes on and on.  Pure gaming machines have been around since computers were invented and they will continue to prosper for the explicit fact that they do one thing really well; and that\'s play games.

To buy a console because it has a DVD player is a way to make one feel secure in their purchase when something just as good, if not better, is around for a cheaper price.  What people fail to realize is that each console and company this generation shortchanges its buyers in some way, but only if the things it doesn\'t include really makes a difference to those with the money.

Does having 4-player split screen games matter that much?  The PS2 only has 2-controller ports and yet still sells the most units so I guess not, but Sony is shortchanging you because of that fact.

The GCN is not a DVD player\\console, but it does have 4-controller ports.  The sales thus far can\'t compare to Sonys, but Sony will never have the first party games that Nintendo has.

The XBox has 4 controller ports, DVD playback, a harddrive, a built in network card, and yet everyone seems to think very low of this console.  Is it the fact that it\'s Microsoft that has turned the masses off to this console?  It\'s so very strange that it gets dissed the most, yet offers the most for the price as well.  What kind of double standards are you people running?

One question:  Why do you own so many PS2\'s?

I bought ps2 when it first came out. Can you name all the games it offers you to play on it that was my reason for buying it too.. There are to many games to list ps and ps 2 games out there and i love my 2 ps2\'s :laughing:Ive owned all the systems ryu i was playing pong probably before you were born or Intelevision and i also played the first final fantasy on nintendo and beat it.The difference when i was growing up in gaming was you couldnt beat them in the 70\'s like atari never beat a game back then. Only way we beat a game was to woop youre freind in tanks or jets or a paddle on each side of a black screen ...Things have really advanced from then to now ..they are made to beat so you can see the credits roll and dont forget the graphics too.

Luigi is terrible, and short, and it really gets boring.

Bomberman, may still rank, so does Goldeneye, but I\'ve moved on and played enough BM to last me a lifetime.  I don\'t require another fix.  My point is just that, it\'s old.  I made the same point with Mario and Blinx and platformers in general,


Right now, sure there hasn\'t been a great title released recently, but Outlaw Golf, World Series Baseball (and even Morrowind aparently) are good tie-overs.  And it\'s not like the other consoles have been releasing compelling content this summer so that\'s a moot point.

And there are counterpart titles on the xbox.

Star Fox--Crimson Sky
Mario--Blix/Physchonoughts (sp?)
Zelda--Project Ego
Metroid--Halo/Unreal

I don\'t feel like going through every game, but you get my point.

MovingStero, I think Console Debating is more suited for you. There is a difference in Console Discussion and Debating - so, yeah, I think Debating is more suited for you...


(*pushes the noobs and trolls over to Ginko\'s side of the board..* )[/size]

And Watchdog, I get your point,  but I still disagree. I personally see more than enough reasons to own the NGC and espically at its low price, but oh well.

you ask why do i own so many ps2\'s here is answer i was in a contest and my playstaytion 2 died so i had to buy another one at the time they were $299.00 so i bought another one to finish the contest. sony replaced my old ps 2 with a new one. i came in 31st  place in the world  in the contest metalgear solid 2  time attack but i would have been 21st but in the middle of all that i sent in wrong clear code by mistake i was in june edition in tips and tricks magazine 2002 but this has nothing to do with this thread so here nintindo  game cube is directed to a different type of gamer me i like realism not so cartoonish i liked nintendo until i got hooked into playstaytion console i owned 5 of those systems 2 of them had cool cd playback for music tv thought it was so cool i miss that function in playstation 2

Hey Watchdog.. why should a game on XBox completely nullify your interest in a game on another system?

It\'s like saying Shinobi wont interest you because Ninja Gaiden is on XBox.  (<<<--- an actual example from TeamXBox).  The fact is, they are different games and will offer different experiences, despite being in the same genre.

If Metroid were on XBox then that would be justified cause to hault your interest in the GCN version.  However a game like Unreal should not, as they are not the same game.

The same goes for all the other games you listed.  The possible exception being Mario as you doubt whether or not any of those games will offer anything different from eachother.

*No he doesnt.. *

I love how this guy is so in love with Sony when he\'s gone through 7 Sony consoles.

GNC is not that cheap for what it offers, the games are still the same price as  the new Xbox and PS2 games ranging from $49.99 dollars. I have played the GNC and to be honest the disc cant cost that much to make there is less plastic used a 3\' in disc verses a 4 and 3/4 in disc and the graphics look the same  if you ask me. I will give them credit on the memory card it is cheaper $19.99 but i like realism in a game not so cartoonish.. It is a shame that nintendo was the biggest game console at 1 time in the 1980\'s not to evolved  to a higher level than it has. would you buy a car that has four wheels and motor for more than a car  that has the same  opptions. i dont think so Ill agre that the gas you put in those to look alike cars is the same price. but i would pay more for a car with a nice sound system a bigger motor,on star  and a cool look...GNC it plays games Doh\' so does Xbox and PS2 but they do more too so what is nintendo\'s point not to have evolved there was a japaneese version of the cube it had a dvd player panasonic version they should have kept that concept if you asked me not everyone has money to throw in the wind if the games are the same  price it will go down like the edsle did for ford... that is the way i feel about the GNC

I JUST CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT

[Bobs_Hardware]

Is anybody else having as much trouble figuring out what moovingstereo is saying as I am?

Just FYI, The cost of a game doesnt actually come down to how much plastic is contained in the disc.  It\'d be maybe 2cents difference.

Hey mooving.. imagine if you bought a car that when you plugged it into your television... COULD PLAY DVD\'s!!!  :eek:  OMFG YOU\'D BE IN HEAVEN!

GameCube = Plays games and plays them well.  Cheapest console.
PS2 = Plays games and DVD\'s, however the DVD quality is bottom of the line.
XBox = Plays games, buy a remote control for $20 and it plays DVD\'s with high quality.

Quality of the games aside (youre obviously not concerned with that.. just what you get for your $$$) which is the best value?  Personally I think they are all equal value just judging by that comparison.

It\'s funny, someone as cheap as you make yourself out to be should love GameCube.
