A good realistic racer.
Ye, we've got Mario Kart and F-Zero, but to be honest I fell the 'Cube needs a solid, beefy racer. PS2 has GT, Xbox has Forza and PGR, but the 'Cube has...well, nothing really.
'Tis a shame. Time after time I see lame, pathetic races like World Racing grace upon the 'Cube, and I long for an exclusive racing series that doesn't involve an Italian in a Red Cap and squillions of weapons.
I don't think Ninty would do something like that though, as they're more into innovation. Hopefully Burnout 3 will hit the 'Cube, but we need our own GT in my opinion.

most people didnt seem to understand how to hold it. im not saying thats what you problem was, maybe your just a cripple. most people held it on the outer handles leavinf out the liddle one and streched their thumb over to the analogue like they were about to kill it. i liked the control but i think the GC one is better except for the shoulder buttons which are hard to press after a while (well on my ctrl anyway :P)

I have serious doubts with you, munn. The N64 controller is the greatest controller ever made. End.

Errr yes, if I can't get into the game because of a stupid controller annoying me, it = bad.

So despite the N64 having the best library of games for any console ever, the GameCube is better because you prefer the controller.
Erm, no.
Oh, and you can't just say that's not the market Nintendo are playing. They are lacking realistic racing titles, whether or not that's the market they're aiming at. A lack of a genre is a lack of a genre no matter which way you look at it, adn there's always going to be someone that misses.
Ashman is gay and he wouldn't know innovation if it smacked him in the face, bumloved him twice and wrote 'innovation' on his face with red hot pokers. So he doesn't matter. :-P

Where did I say they weren't?
Dringo, there are 3 consoles. Each in the same market, at the same time, in the same shops, often with the same games.
In the eyes of the average idiot, they're competing.

Nintendo is a brand of game all to itself.
People don't buy a Nintendo system for realistic racers, beat 'em ups and FPS's...
To be fair the Gamecube have some decent first person games, a couple of alright racers and a good selection of beat 'em ups... but people don't buy a Gamecube for "genres" they'd buy a Gamecube for the "nintendo" games.
I have to confess the selection of Nintendo games this year have been terrible. Wario Ware, Pokemon Channel and Donkey Konga are all releases that hardly count! In fact the only major Nintendo titles released this year are Pikmin 2, Paper Mario 2 and Prime 2... all released in Q4 2004.
Terrible. I know Nintendo are preparing the DS and this allows increased third party sales but COME ON!
Anyway as I was saying people don't buy Nintendo consoles for adventure games, they buy it for Zelda. Not for platformers (actually... yeah probably), they buy it for MArio....
Nintendo are almost a genre in themselves. They are a unique form of competiton as Nintendo are nothing like sony or Microsoft.
Although if they want to compete more effectivly they need more "Microsoft and Sony type games"... in other words a much larger form of third and second party support.

The Cube is great - but to say not having games is an alright thin is silly - if Nintendo want to compete, they have to compete. Don't say they 'aren't competing', because they are, whether they like it or not.
