Lets get this straight - im a big nintendo fan. I got the gamecube on the day of release and have been following it for ages and have really enjoyed it. But recently ive had less and less intrest in it. One of the reasons for this is the games scheduled to be released just haven't interested me.
I mean think of the games being released or just released on the xbox or ps2. Games such as Killzone and Gta San Andreas on the PS2 have been highly anticipated. Then theres games on the Xbox such as Fable and Halo 2 - two of the most wanted games for years. But where is Gamecubes big games? Metroid Prime 2 is coming out soon and looks great, i grant you that. Other then that though i can't think of any games coming out soon on the GC that im really excited about.
And the gaming industry is approaching it's biggest sales period for the year - christmas. With the decline of great and wanted gamecube games on the list for the end of this year is gamecubes time up?
Lets hear everyone elses opinions on this - it's intresting to see what other people feel.

No I was argueing that there was a good selection of games on show this year. I wasn't disputing the fact they are on seperate systems.
You can say Nintendo's exclusive line up is bad (and although it isn't nearly as good as 2003 and won't be nearly as good as 2004 it is pretty good) but then it far surpasses X-boxes and PS2's exclusive games.

No, I'm saying you can't use that as an excuse for Gamecube to have a better line-up than another console, which Dringo was trying to do.

Im not trying to create a console war here because im a big Nintendo fan and i can't be bothered to write a big list. I saying this from a Nintendo point of view that im actually quite dissapointed in the quality and quanitity of the games they have been releasing.
And as Ashman said with LIVE becoming big, i find im using my gamecube less and less.

And there has been 4 Nintendo games released in the last 2 months and a few very good third party titles too.
In fact PS2 hasn't had anything released that is major in the last 2 months and Microsoft have had Fable.
Pikmin 2 and Donkey Konga are actually pretty big Nintendo releases.

Metroid Prime is a killer app. An utterly fantastic killer app.

Hey hey no need to get personal. Lets try and have an intelligent disscusion without using personal insults. And as for metroid prime 2 i can't see that selling that well in the UK, even after the success of the first one.

Yawn.
So you're saying, Ash, that a multiformat game doesn't matter to someone with just a GameCube? :P

In quantity perhaps, but this year for myself:
Time Spent On Rainbow Six 3/Halo/PGR2 > Time Spent On Cube Overall
My problem? No killer app - and I don't see one on the horizon until the new Zelda. Even though I want Paper Mario 2 a LOT, it's not in the same league as Zelda and Halo 2.
