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.
The Cube really needs one or two great racing games - as great as Mario Kart is, it just doesn't have the lasting appeal that most realistic racing titles do.
You can't just say "I would have got an XBox if I wanted racing games". All it means is people who enjoy both realistic racers and Nintendo games will have to fork out £100+ just to get one.
Cube don't need them
The next installments were much of the same- go figure.

Hmmm.... Squaresoft needs to get its ass in gear. Crystal Chronicles was not all it was meant to be, and we need some decent solid RPG action, I'd even be happy with a compilation pack of Final Fantasy 7-9 and maybe 10 or 11, although I'd prefer remakes,a dn some new games in the series would be nice.
Some Ogre Battle stuff from the Enix side would be great too. Ogre Battle Tactics: The Knight of Lodis was a great strat rpg game (better than Final Fantasy Tactics anyday IMHO) that even on GBA wasn't released here...

R:Racing?
That is woeful :(
