Got a Gamecube!
« on: May 11, 2003, 11:23:09 PM »
:bounce:   Yeah!, bought it over the weekend.  The cube I got is silver as it is somekind of platinum console.  With it you get Zelda, but I decided to swop it out for RE: Zero.

Right now I am trying to get use to the controls (Been playing PS for 8 years now and know the control like the palm of my hand.)

The graphics on this game is really good but I need to see a game without backdrops to really see what the machine presents.

I also did not buy a memorycard as yet, cash was a bit short.  Well, I finished RE1 on the PS1 without a memorycard and will probably have to do the same.

dawid, you\'ll have to buy Zelda afterwards, because it\'s a must have.

Good purchase...but why did you swap out Zelda??  Perhaps GOTY 2003, and you swapped it out for a Resident Evil...pfft.

Oh well, you\'ll eventually get it.  Don\'t forget Metroid, Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, Eternal Darkness, Animal Crossing, and StarFox.

Honestly, I have never played any of the Zelda games before and wanted to make sure that I enjoy the game I purchased.  I bought the Gamecube to keep up with the RE series, but games such as Mario Sunshine, etc.  will be one hell of a bonus!!:cool:

Tell, what is Zelda all about?  (B.T.W, you are probably all gonna kill me.  With the new Zelda you also got  other previously released Zelda games.  1 on the SNES and the other on the N64.)

Zelda.. is.. well.. in a word.. good. :) *cough* It\'s actually kind of hard to explain.

It\'s an action/adventure title, 3rd-person in the 3D incarnations.. with all sorts of gameplay thrown in. Sword fighting, exploration, puzzle-solving, treasure hunting, all sorts of stuff. Oh, yeah, and typically the Zelda games are some of the highest quality games around. Hell, I\'ll go as far as to say that pretty much any Nintendo-developed game you pick up will be high-quality.. so try out some other Nintendo games on your new GameCube. Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine, and Pikmin are some of my favorite picks. :)

BTW, you can probably snag the Zelda:OOT/MQ bonus disc with your Wind Waker purchase. OOT (Ocarina of Time) is the first 3D Zelda game.. released on the N64 in 1998. It\'s a ground-breaking game, considered by many to be the greatest ever made. Me personally.. I loved it, but I think that SNES\'s Zelda III: A Link to the Past is basically equal or better. You can\'t go wrong with either one. :)

Zelda is epic. You\'re an elf, for cryin\' out loud. One that needs guided to rescue Hyrule and the princess. In the process, you\'ll probably end up fishing, digging up holes, cutting bushes and for old times sake, hitting the chickens or throwin\' pigs into the water.

Oh yeah and Zelda is inventive gameplay at its best.

I\'ve just been out myself today and bought the same package! Zelda has blown me away, I\'ve never been a nintendo owner, but have been thinking about getting a GC for some time, and I\'m glad I did! I also got Mario sunshine, Pikmin and Monkey Ball 2, not really had chance to play them cos I cant draw myself away from Zelda!! What kind of game is Metroid? I dont really know much about it!

Well, Metroid Prime is a 1st-person action/adventure game.. a FPS but not in the traditional sense of Doom or Halo. I highly recommend the game, seeing as how it was (IMO) the best game of 2002 on any platform.

You\'re not guaranteed to like it, of course.. but it\'s so damned good that you probably will. :)

I\'ve just been reading a review of Metroid, it sounds really good, its definately going to be my next purchase. I still cant get over how addictive all the games seem to be, I wish I\'d bought one earlier now!

I just bought Medal of Honour: Frontline, as I did not play it on the PS2.  The thing that makes me really glad is that it is 4 player...and not 1 player like to PS2 version (F*$k knows why they did not even make that a 2 player game... that is why I never bought it for the PS2 system.)
