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.

Part-time gamers.
All the people I know that are proper gamers own all consoles, and all the people on here that appear to be so own them all as well, or at least two.
I'm sort of in between. I own Gamecube and PS2, although apart from PES4, I rarely play my PS2. So meh, maybe I'm part-time as well.

First of all N64 was very expensive, the games being generally £50 a turn. This was because it was more expenisive to make, hence resulting in less games.
Second open your eyes! It's winter!
As the demand for video games go up producers and developers should be providing us with the mixture of quality and quanitiy that we need. In short i don't think Nintendo have grasped this yet.

Alot of these are quite average (sonic heroes, PSO3, everything or nothing, warioware in my opinion) and most are not exclusive (code veronica,sonic heroes,POP,Spinter cell,BGAE, everything or nothing) which if you read my original post was the point I was trying to make.

UK charts are totally weird and isn't worth taking seriously.
True the EA games reach the top... but you can spend a whole year and not see one Nintendo game in the top ten... then all of a sudden one hits the top spot.
2003 was ideal for this. Nintendo got 4 games into the top ten, Metroid Prime, Resident evil 0, Zelda and Mario Kart.
3 of those entered at number one.

Up till this weekend I hadnt touched my Cube since my birthday in June, not because I didnt have anything to play ( I have plenty games to finish off etc. ) but because I had better things to do. Now I'm not trying to make out that people shouldnt play Videogames, but people really shouldnt just sit around complaining 'cus apparently no games have been released recently. Well if you've been looking, plenty of Cube games have been recently, it's just that some charts dont reflect this...

Are just a list of the "decent" Gamecube games released this year. Sure not as many as the competitors but plenty for us gamers to sink our teeth into.
Tales of Symphonia, Rogue Agent, Call of Duty, Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 2 and Mario Party 6 still to come.
That my friend is plenty of funking games.

How the hell did N64 gamers survive I wonder? There was much less N64 games than there has been Gamecube games.
I have 50 very good Gamecube games. Do you? And if now how can you complain that there isn't enough?
And there are never many games released during the summer. Go outside. There's an idea.

I've beeen a loyal ninty for ages but at the end of the summer I bought a PS2 because I was fed of waiting 2-3 months for another half decent gamecube game to be realeased. There just isnt enough generally good games being produced and realeased for the cube. In order for it to survive, nintendo need to re-secure the trust of the thrid party developers along with producing more decent games more often. There just isnt a playable title released every month for the gamecube like there is for the other two consoles. The charts say it all. Animal crossing, pokemon colliseum, sonic heroes are all in top spots showing that there really is a drought of games for the cube.

And with Liveage all go and Pro Evo 4 and Halo 2 on their way, this doesn't look set to change.

Paper Mario 2 and Metroid Prime 2 is more than enough!
I'm gonna struggle to get those two and Prince of Persia 2.
Donkey Konga has done pretty well for Nintendo, kudos to that.
