I just went on a wacky shopping spree while my family was down and bought a Gamecube, Resident Evil remake, and Super Mario Sunshine. Fuck, Mario is amazing (predictably), and RE is the best looking game I've ever seen. Metroid Prime, Perfect Dark Zero and Zelda have me salivating. But as of right now... there's a shit selection of games for it. Who has a Gamecube, what's your fave games? I have a GC and a PS2, but no fucking way will I buy an Xbox. |

Good on you Ophecks, Nintendo'll sort you out with good games, just hang on for a couple more months :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
You have chosen well, my young apprentice.... Get yourself Star Wars Rogue Leader (it looks AMAZING), and Turok:Evolution for the ultimate first-person shoot 'em up. I dunno if it's out yet, but if not it will be imminently...Niiice!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Heh, you Canadians, everything has to be "wacky" or "zany". Hmm I want to get a gamecube -- the price is tantalisingly low -- but I waste enough time with computers as it is. But I suspect that by the time the Metroid and Zelda games have come out, I will no longer be able to resist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a ridiculous amount of points you have there!! Anyway,I have about 7 games.Sonic being my fave. Turok:Evolution looks good (let's hope it has good gameplay as well) Those three you mentioned have me dribbling also.The current range is limited-Nintendo's usual tactic of putting quality before quantitiy (not such a bad thing)....but they had better get their finger out!! X-Box will follow DC soon!! |
||||||||

hmm... i was just thinking of blowing some cash on a Gamecube this morning... maybe this will push me over the edge......i figure the Gamecube is the furthest from PC games experience with the Ninetendo legecy ... i just sometimes get the feeling that some consider the Gamecube a failure of sorts...? |
||||||||

|
|
Ubik - Fuck them. I've got one and its fantastic and it's true Nintendo tend to release quality over quantity. I just hope they can do more of the quantity cos I think that's where they messed up with the N64 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha ha, something we agree on :) I really like the DC, many people trash it, but the fact is until very recently it was the best next gen console. Consoles are like music- buy what you like and sod what other people think. |
||||||||

get a wavebird m8. Wireless control is so liberating compared to the corded controllers now. Any you're right, SMS is hot hot hot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have a DC, and it was disapointing to see it go under so fast, it was pretty decent. Sega used to be such a console bigshot, sad to see them lose that aspect. Still great game developers, but I miss the Genesis. I really want a Gamecube Mario Kart... Mario Kart 64 is my favorite multi player ever, I lose my mind. 4 player Kart on GC would just make me wet myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ohhhh....Don't tease me with talk of MarioKart on the Gamecube!!! It'll be toooooooooooo good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"but I miss the Genesis." I still have mine, Check out: www.sega-parts.com I just stumbled across it, you can still buy sega genesis games (presumably new as it's an official sega site)! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damn right. and I doesnt have to sell millions to be considered "good" either. I quiet like my Dreamcast! I need some new games but. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I mean, look at AT fans, we're a minority, but his music is far better than "popular music". The same is true with consoles, whilst I'm not anti-xbox or PS2 I recognise the quality in the less popular gamecube and dreamcast. I still buy DC games & peripherals and I enjoy the games I have far more than the latest PC/PS2 titles... |
||||||||

|

On the subject of "hard to find" music and game consoles... I've been out collecting every console I can find! Like I do with rare and out of print music....Such as Aphex Twin..... (dont make me say IDM!!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You like rare consoles? Look for the vectrex :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sweet Jesus... :| Ebay might be my only answer for a system like that. Vectrex..early 80's if i can remember. |

Super Smash Brothers Melee is great fun though it's primarily a multiplayer game. From the things I've heard you say though you're a real fucking loser and probably wouldn't have many people to play it with...So... You may want to skip that one. Rent it for a family gathering or something. (_I_) Aahahahaa! |

I dunno...Halo makes the xbox worth buying alone. It's got a nice 10 gig hard drive for me to copy my cds, so i can lsiten to my tunes while playing my games. I just went for the most powerful one, the games are huge, what more can i ask for? Have nuffin against any other consoles. This was just my choice:) *Looks forward to hearing all the reasons why the xbox is gonna fail and why it's so shit, seeing that no one's tried it* Everyone's got somethin bad to say about it, when there's not one bad thing about it. ONly thing I can think of is the size, it's too big (for a traveller like me). |
||||||||

heh.. i don't even have a 128-bit console |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

That site has really high prices. $20 for one game? I still play my Genesis all the time. |

After playing Mario Sunshine for several days now my feelings on it are a bit mixed. Definately not as good as Mario64 was.. Horrid camera angles, touchy controls, cheesy mini-levels, frustrating objectives.. I'm a little disappointed to tell you the truth. If it weren't for those adorable little toadlings I would have lost it long ago.. Anyone else have an opinion on the game? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i suppose it would be nice to have a 128-bit system tho. my reasons for wanting one: ps2 - gta3 gamecube - smash bros melee, metroid prime, mario sunshine xbox - munch's oddessy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I agree completely! It seems the main reason everyone has such a grudge against it is primarily because it was made by Microsoft..."Because you know...they've got like, lots of money and shit..and that means they fucking suck." Seriously though, it's an amazing system and will have some PHENOMENAL games out by the end of the year. Right now it's a little lacking.. In fact, I've only been satisfied by two games for it(Halo and Morrowind) so it may be better to hold off on picking one up until a little later in the year. Take a look through the official Xbox magazine and watch some of the videos on the demo disc if you're still unsure about the future of it as a console... Some titles to keep your eye on : Project Ego(especially), B.C., Psychonauts.. |

Opposite for me. I was disapointed at first, but it's grown on me. AWESOME game, but it's not as good as Mario 64. Actually, I think I may start a new save on 64 for old time's sake. I love the backpack-less mini levels, and the camera is tough at first but I've gotten used to it, though it was easier in M64... and I think it controls like a dream. I'm right and you're wrong, na-na-na-naaaa-na! :-p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I HATE the backpack-less mini levels! It's impossible to judge the distance between things.. I either over estimate and fall off the other side or under estimate and never make it! And the music is so aggravating! ARRRGH! Makes me want to jam a screwdriver in my ear.. |
||||||||

Does anyone else have Mario Sunshine besides Oafecks and I? I can't wait for Metroid to come out.. I'm going to pick it up for Gameboy Advance too. |

mario won't be released until october 4th here in europe :-( But I have no doubt that i will love it... i completely and utterly trust nintendo... they have NEVER let me down before... so i'm sure mario sunshine is an excellent game aswell :-D I can't wait to finally (after 10 years!) get on yoshi's back again in a mario-game! Woohoo! Having said that... and even though i think the graphics look awesome... i am somewhat dissapointed with the whole holiday-theme that game has got going... i wish it would just take place in a magical kingdom. But who knows... maybe when i get to play it, i'll think the holiday-theme was actually a good idea... |

and speaking of mario... yesterday i completed Paper Mario for the first time! That was one great game! I loved every second of it... i'd almost say they could have sold it as the "official" 2nd mario-game on the N64... it's that good, even though the gameplay is totally different. There's more humor in there than any other game i've ever played... i love all the little jokes and references to previous mariogames... this was the first time ever i was actually laughing out loud because of a videogame! |

Mario Sunshine is on order. *waits patiently* |

You guys talked me into gettng a GC over an XBOX. I have a ps2 and that's fuckin awesome. But I wanted to broaden my gamming experience. As soon as I get the money im getting the GC and RE |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I may have to get one very soon, I need to play the RE remake in the near future or I may go insane from RE withdrawl |
||||||||

|

|

Wise decision! |

I have Mariosunshine, i have about 20 shine so far. I think its just as good as 64. I went back and played 64 a few weeks ago and some of it just seems too easy. a lot of the stuff in sms is frustrating. the waterpack-less levels are awesome its like old mario sort of stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Re remake is awesome, Im playing it with Chris now, already beat it with Jill. buy ETERNAL DARKNESS! |
||||||||

has anyone played super mario world (the snes remake) on GBA? i was looking forward to it, the snes version was my fav. of all mario games, but they added his voice to the game, and that kinda ruined it for me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep... it's Ok, but the game was perfect to begin with. But it's fun to see some new quirks, it doesn't add or take away too much. Wario Land for GBA is AMAZING, though! Resident Evil GC remake is so gorgeous... what a brilliantly designed game. It's so scary and tense that I actually stop playing sometimes so I can fucking relax. RE2 and the rest lack this magic, I find. It's not just a graphical upgrade either. The whole mansion is different, the puzzles are rearranged and everything. Worth the cash! |

I'm getting an xbox a little later down the road, and as FlyAgaric said, there isn't anything wrong with it, except that the regular controller is too big, but they sell smaller controllers now! I'm going to buy it when I go off to college, since I will no longer be able to use my parents dvd player, plus it's gonna have some awesome games, and already does have some good games. until then, my PC and DC will last me a while longer. |

The Gamecube is awesome, and Nintendo always have some awesome games... n64 Goldeneye :D and the cube looks awesome, best console on the market atm nothing beats a PC tho :P and a copy of Halflife with the mod called Counter-Strike :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

the gamecube is a cool lil package, but lack of games i like, cept for the new resident evil (which i've played beaten and loved) and a few assorted others... i'm a ps fan though..GTA3 is awesome and vice is gonna rawk!! Medal of honor is great too. besides, at the moment it gives you some bang for your buck. everything else requires an additional "pack' or dohickey to run dvd's etc. plays all of my old ps1 games that i love. Xbox sucks...i love my Atari 2600 over it, better music/graphix/game selection ;) |

People make limited edition homebrew games. Theres some synth you can get for it controlled by joysticks :-) There was a post about it a month or so ago... |

Anyway, Turok : Evolution is a terrible game for the Xbox and I imagine it's shittyness carries over to the PS2 and Gamecube as well. Avoid it like the plague! Navigation is lousy.. Very jagged and unresponsive. Everyone knows smooth controls are a MUST in first person shooter games and unfortunately this one falls about three shits short of the bowl. Gameplay is the same old pop a cap, flip a switch, exit the level garbage that's been the ho-hum convention of this genre since Wolfenstein.. Argh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
turok2 for n64 sure sucked gameplay wise, which is mostly what matters 2 me. great graphics though. |
