Why did I get a PS2?? Because the games for it appealed to ME.
Do Mario games appeal to me? No. Do Zelda games appeal to me? No.
Does MGS2 appeal to me? Yes. Does Smackdown 2 appeal to me? Yes.
Why is this?? Well, it's partly because the first ever console I got was a PSX, which unlike the N64, didn't specialise in cartoonie platformers (that is not a dig, just telling the truth.)
It's also just down to taste, I guess. While Mario and Donkey Kong appeal to some, Solid Snake and games such as GT3 appeal to others.
I remember going over to Darkness' house to play on the N64. I enjoyed it there, as Darkness is a good mate and we both love games, but you end up thinking to yourself, "I much prefer the PSX games."
Darkness felt the same way round my house I expect, but now he has a PS2-I don't feel like that anymore!
So people who say, "Ah, but the GameCube's specs are better and Nintendo are more experienced, that means the games will be better than on PS2!"
That my be true...for that person. This person may feel as though the games Nintendo create are better than what the PS2 has to offer.
But for me, I much prefer what the PS2 has to offer, which I'm sure people such as Wookie, Turbonutter, ssxpro and Bonus will agree with.
I guess I'm contradicting what I've said before in these forums, and I expect I will in the future. {:) Although, I expect we all do at some point. I mean-why are we all arguing over which console is 'best' on these forums?!
Anyway, one final thing. Good luck to you with your GameCube. I won't be buying it, and I hope it won't do as well as the PS2-but I hope you guys enjoy it.
Thanks for reading, Ant.

I gave it a damn good go. I got it on release day and played it solid for a few days. just too repetive really. The multiplayer is good once in a while but again, it is too repetitive and all that goes on is button bashing.
i wouldnt say this is one of the best multiplayer on the 64. no where near the likes of goldeneye and PD. Even Micro machines 64 is more fun than SSB.

It's not a button basher at all.
You didn't play is long enough to master is or learn it properly.
There's just as much skill to it (possibly more) compared to other top beat em ups.
Remember, it's not simply about pulling off moves, it's about tactics, skill and manouvering (it is a platformer after all).
Give it a good go to master it.
I think you'll find it's probably the best multiplayer game on the N64.

Smash brothers aint exactly a top title. ALl it is is a button basher. nothin specail about this game. I was really dissapointed with the 64 version, and i here the gameplay in melee is not much different.
Smash Brothers Melee is a launch title.
It was playable at E3.
It was playable at E3.
There are rumours that Super Monkey Ball could be included with the GC at launch!

I reckon that one of them might make the launch. They're all being shown at Spaceworld in August.
Besides, Luigi's Mansion does look good when you see it running in motion, Pikmin looks fun, Smash Brothers Melee and Donkey Kong Racing are sure multiplayer hits.
And there's a several others too that I can't be bothered to get into.
And remember, both Zelda and Mario are in Smash Brother... :-)

I don't know about Smash bros. - it could arrive in late 2002 in the UK. Maybe.
